According to the Book of Numbers, Abronah (Hebrew: עַבְרֹנָה‎), sometimes "Ebronah", is one of the places the Israelites stopped at during the Exodus from Egypt, before Ezion-Geber. Its name means passage, and it is the passage from the mountains down to the sea overlooking Ezion Geber. In the book "Rivers in the Desert" Nelson Glueck reported it as Elats industrial city.
