And Bethpeor,…. So called from Peor, the idol of the Moabites, and where very likely there had been a temple built to the honour of it; over against this place was a valley, where Israel abode some time, De 3:29;
and Ashdodpisgah; of which see De 3:17;
and Bethjeshimoth; of which see Nu 33:49.

20. Beth-peor That is, house of Peor. The town probably got its name from having been the chief seat of the worship of the Moabite god Baal-peor. Num 25:3-5. It was situated on or beside Mount Peor, and close to the valley where the Israelites encamped immediately before descending into the plain of the Jordan. Deu 3:29. It was in this valley apparently the modern Wady Hesban Moses was buried, (Deu 34:6,) and Mount Pisgah, on which he died, could not have been far distant to the south. The valley of Heshbon has never been fully explored. “Whatever traveller may succeed in doing so will be rewarded by the discovery of the ruins of Beth-peor, and the closest approximation that has yet been made to the place of Moses’ sepulchre.” J.L. Potter. Ashdoth-pisgah and
Beth-jeshimoth See notes on Jos 12:3.
