Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Numbers 33:30
And they departed from Hashmonah, and encamped at Moseroth.
STAT. XXVI.
Verse 30. MOSEROTH.] Situation unknown. In De 10:6 it is said that the Israelites took their journey from Beeroth, the wells of the children of Jaakan, to Mosera, and there Aaron died. If so, Mosera, Moseroth, and Hor, must be different names of the same place; or Moseroth, or Mosera, must have been some town or village near Mount Hor, for there Aaron died. See Nu 33:38.

Bene-jaakan Sons of Jaakan. In the Hebrew of Deu 10:6-7, the full name is given Beeroth Bene-Jaakan, wells of the sons of Jaakan. There are trivial variations of names, such as Hor-hagidgad and Gudgodah, in the two passages. The account in Deuteronomy, which puts Bene-jaakan before Mosera, probably refers to a second visit, in the fortieth year of the wandering, in the reverse order of the two places named.

Moseroth: This is supposed by Mr. C. Taylor, to be Ain el Mousa – probably a corruption of Moserothor fountains of Moses, at the head of the western gulf of the Red sea, about seven or eight miles east from Suez, seven or eight days’ journey from Gaza, and five or six from Sinai. Deu 10:5, Mosera
