Mattanah was a station in Israel's journey east of the Jordan, near the approach to Moab. It is important because it belongs to the final movement of the wilderness generation toward settled land. First appears in Num 21:18.1
AI summary: Mattanah matters because the later wilderness route narrows toward encounter and possession. The station sits in the sequence that leads Israel through the eastern plateau world toward the Jordan crossing region. The cross references present Mattanah as a gift-named stopping place in the last phase of the journey.1
A gift, a station of the Israelites (Num. 21:18, 19) between the desert and the borders of Moab, in the Wady Waleh. 3
