KEDEMOTH . A place apparently on the upper course of the Arnon, assigned to Reuben ( Joshua 13:18 ), and a Levitical city ( Joshua 21:37 = 1 Chronicles 6:79 ). From the ‘wilderness of Kedemoth’ messengers were sent by Moses to Sihon ( Deuteronomy 2:26 ). The site may be the ruin Umm er-Rasâs , N.E. of Dibon.
