Kedemoth (place name, town in Reuben/Moab with associated wilderness)
A Levitical city in Reubenite territory (originally Moabite) with an associated wilderness area. Deuteronomy 2:26 mentions the 'Wilderness of Kedemoth' from which Moses sent peace messengers to Sihon. Joshua 13:18 lists Kedemoth among Reuben's towns. Joshua 21:37 and 1 Chronicles 6:79 identify it as a Levitical city. The site lies north of the upper Arnon but has not been definitively identified archaeologically. The name derives from the root for 'east' or 'ancient,' possibly meaning 'eastern [place]' or 'ancient [site].'
