Bene-jaakan

Bene-jaakan ("the sons of Jaakan") was a station on Israel's wilderness itinerary named after the wells of the Horite clan of Jaakan in the highlands south of Edom (Numbers 33:31-32). Deuteronomy 10:6 calls it Beeroth Bene-jaakan ("wells of the sons of Jaakan") — emphasizing that it was a precious oasis with multiple wells in the desert. The accounts in Numbers and Deuteronomy preserve slightly different orderings of the late-wilderness stations. The site is generally located south of the Dead Sea in the highlands of Edom, possibly near Ein el-Weiba — representing the life-giving water that punctuated Israel's arid forty years.
