Exegesis
Two successive locative phrases—baavarot {בַעֲבָרוֹת | baʿăḇārôṯ} ‘river crossings’ and be’arvot {בְּעַֽרְב֖וֹת | bəʿarvōṯ} ‘open plains’—situate the speaker within the wilderness context of hamidbar {הַמִדְבָּר | hammidbār}.
In context — 2 Samuel 15:28
See, I am lingering at the fords in the plains of the wilderness until a word comes from you to tell me.
