And they removed from Almondiblathaim, and pitched in the mountains of Abarim,…. Sixteen miles from Almondiblathaim; these were so called from passages near them over the river Jordan: and this station was pitched
before Nebo; one of those mountains, whither Moses went up and died.

47. Almon-diblathaim is probably the same as Beth-diblathaim in Jer 48:22, and is to be sought for to the north or north-west of Dibon.
Abarim Num 21:11; Num 21:20, notes. Nebo is only another name for the valley in the field of Moab upon the top of Pisgah, as is proved by the fact that, according to Deu 34:1; Deu 3:27; Deu 32:48, Nebo was a peak of Pisgah upon the mountains of Abarim; from which it is evident that Pisgah was a portion of the mountains of Abarim opposite to Jericho. Num 21:20, note.

the mountains: These mountains were a ridge of rugged hills east of Jordan, and north and west of the Arnon. Nebo, Pisgah, and Peor, were but different names of the hills of which they were composed. Eusebius and Jerome inform us, that some part of them, as one went up to Heshbon, retained the old name of Abarim in their time; and that the part called Nebo was opposite Jericho, not far from the Jordan, six miles west from Heshbon, and seven east from Livias. Dr. Shaw describes them as “an exceeding high ridge of desolate mountains, no otherwise diversified than by a succession of naked rocks and precipices; rendered in some places the more frightful by a multiplicity of torrents, which fall on each side of them. This ridge is continued all along the eastern coast of the Dead sea.” Mount Nebo is now called Djebel Attarous; and is described as a barren mountain, the highest point in the neighbourhood, with an uneven plain on the top.
