Abstract
In this article I examine the presence of the toponym Ya͑qob͗el within its geographical context in the topographical lists of Thutmose III, Ramesses II, and Ramesses III. Historically, Ya͑qob͗el and the toponyms clustered with it are located by scholars in Syria. However, it is possible that Ya͑qob͗el within Thutmose III’s list is found to the south of Moab. The topographical lists of Ramesses II and Ramesses III mention place names that might be linked to Ya͑qob͗el, and should be located in southern Transjordan, where the Edomite deity Qaus was worshiped.
