Beth-peor
(Heb. Beyth Peor’, , house of Peor, i.e. temple of Baal-Peor; Sept. v , but in Joshua or ), a place in Moab, no doubt dedicated to the god Baal-peor, on the east of Jordan; according to Eusebius and Jerome (Onomast. s.v. , Bethfogo), it lay opposite Jericho, and six miles above Livias or Beth-haran. It was in the possession of the tribe of Reuben (Jos 13:20). In the Pentateuch the name occurs in a formula by which one of the last halting-places of the children of Israel is designated the ravine () over against () Beth-peor (Deu 3:29; Deu 4:46). In this ravine Moses was probably buried (Deu 34:6). It appears to have been situated on the slope of the eminence (Nebo or Peer), about half way between Heshbon and the north end of the Dead Sea.
Here, as in other cases, the Beth- may be a Hebrew substitution for Baal-, or the name may be an abbreviation of Baal-peor (q.v.).

Beth-Peor
BETH-PEOR.A city belonging to Reuben (Jos 13:20), located most probably some four or five miles north of Mt. Nebo, near the Pisgah range. Just opposite to it, in the ravine (Wdy Hesbn probably), the Israelites encamped (Deu 3:29; Deu 4:46). Moses was buried in the valley over against Beth-peor (Deu 34:6). Conder suggests a site several miles to the S., near Ain el-Minyeh, but the impression given by Num 25:1-8 is that the city was not so far distant from the plain of Shittim.

Beth-Peor
beth-peor ( , beth peor; , okos Phogor; in Joshua (Vaticanus), , Baithphogor, or -, beth-): Over against Beth-peor the Israelites were encamped, beyond the Jordan, in the valley, when Moses uttered the speeches recorded in Dt (Deu 3:29; Deu 4:46). In the valley in the land of Moab over against Beth-peor Moses was buried (Deu 34:6). Beth-peor and the slopes of Pisgah (the King James Version Ashdoth-pisgah) are mentioned in close connection in Jos 13:20. According to Eusebius, Onomasticon, Beth-peor was situated near Mt. Peor (Fogor) opposite Jericho, 6 miles above Livias. Mt. Peor is the top or head of Peor (Num 23:28). Some height commanding a view of the plain East of the river in the lower Jordan valley is clearly intended, but Thus far no identification is possible. The slopes of Pisgah are probably the lower slopes of the mountain toward Wady Ayun Musa. Somewhere North of this the summit we are in search of may be found. Conder suggested the cliff at Minyeh, South of Wady Jedeideh, and of Pisgah; and would locate Beth-peor at el-Mareighat, the smeared things, evidently an ancient place of worship, with a stone circle and standing stones, about 4 miles East, on the same ridge. This seems, however, too far South, and more difficult to reach from Shittim than we should gather from Num 25:1.
