Oboth was one of Israel's wilderness encampments east of the Arabah in the final approach toward Moab. It is important because it belongs to the last sequence of stations before the plains east of the Jordan. First appears in Num 21:10.1
AI summary: Oboth's role is transitional. It appears in the closing section of Israel's wilderness itinerary after the brazen serpent episode and before the people move further toward Moab. That makes it part of the tightening geography of approach to the promised land. The cross references present Oboth as a late-stage wilderness camp in the final eastward movement before entry.1
Bottles, an encampment of the Israelites during the wanderings in the wilderness (Num. 33:43), the first after the setting up of the brazen serpent. 3
