The Abarim range includes Mount Nebo, where Moses would later view the Promised Land before his death (<a href="/deuteronomy/32-49.htm">Deuteronomy 32:49-50</a>). This departure marks a transition from wandering to preparing for conquest, symbolizing a shift from judgment to promise.<p><b>and camped on the plains of Moab</b><br>The plains of Moab are located east of the Jordan River, opposite Jericho. This area served as a staging ground for the Israelites before entering Canaan. Moab, a nation descended from Lot, had a complex relationship with Israel, often marked by conflict and interaction (<a href="/genesis/19-37.htm">Genesis 19:37</a>). The plains of Moab are also where Moses delivered his final speeches, recorded in Deuteronomy, and where the Israelites renewed their covenant with God.<p><b>by the Jordan</b><br>The Jordan River is a significant geographical and spiritual boundary for the Israelites. It represents the final barrier before entering the Promised Land. Crossing the Jordan is symbolic of entering into God's promises and is later mirrored in the New Testament by the baptism of Jesus in the Jordan, signifying a new beginning (<a href="/matthew/3-13.htm">Matthew 3:13-17</a>). The river serves as a place of transition and transformation.<p><b>across from Jericho</b><br>Jericho is one of the oldest inhabited cities in the world and the first city conquered by the Israelites in Canaan (Joshua 6). Its location across from the Israelite camp signifies the imminent fulfillment of God's promise to give them the land. Jericho's fall, through divine intervention, underscores the theme of God's power and faithfulness. The city's conquest is a type of spiritual victory over sin and opposition, prefiguring Christ's ultimate victory over sin and death.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/mountains_of_abarim.htm">Mountains of Abarim</a></b><br>A mountain range east of the Jordan River, significant as a place where Moses viewed the Promised Land before his death.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/p/plains_of_moab.htm">Plains of Moab</a></b><br>A region located east of the Jordan River, where the Israelites camped before entering the Promised Land.
