Beeroth-bene-jaakan = location, also known as Bene-Jaakan; ◄ in Sinai peninsula, between Moserah and Hor-Haggidgad; ► the Israelites encamped there on their way from Egypt to Canaan

DEU 10:6

1 DEU 10:6 GNT, CEV, and NIV translate the components of the name instead of a place name: the wells belonging to the people/descendants of Jaakan. Since בְּנֵי־יַעֲקָן seems to be used as a place name in Num 33:31,32, "wells of Bene-jaakan" is also a possibility.
