Then the Israelites traveled to the plains of Moab

Then the Israelites traveled to the plains of Moab and camped along the Jordan across from Jericho. (Numbers 22:1, NIV)

camped along the Jordan
across from Jericho

How the Israelites arranged their camps is described in another verse of Numbers. Jericho is an important city as a reference point for many place names in the Bible. The straight-line distance between Jericho and Jordan River is about 9 km. The route of the Israelites' journey in the desert is a very interesting subject. This post is my first attempt to take the advantage of the modern geo-coding techniques to study the geography of Bible.
