Exegesis
The locative be’ovot {בְּאֹבֹֽת | bə-’ō-vôṯ} ‘at Oboth’ functions as a prepositional toponym marking a stage in the wilderness itinerary, with the preposition be {בְּ | bə} as a locative marker. In English, the coordinated clauses preserve the Hebrew sequence of departure and encampment.
In context — Numbers 21:10
And the sons of Israel set out and camped at Oboth .
