regions beyond; i.e., on the east of Jordan, a mountain, or

rather a mountain-chain, over against Jericho, to the east and

south-east of the Dead Sea, in the land of Moab. From "the top

of Pisgah", i.e., Mount Nebo (q.v.), one of its summits, Moses

surveyed the Promised Land (Deut. 3:27; 32:49), and there he

died (34:1,5). The Israelites had one of their encampments in

the mountains of Abarim (Num. 33:47,48) after crossing the

Arnon.
