It is significant in biblical history as the site where the Israelites camped before crossing into the Promised Land. This location is also linked to the incident of Israel's idolatry with Baal of Peor, as recorded in <a href="/numbers/25.htm">Numbers 25</a>. The worship of Baal at Peor led to a severe plague among the Israelites, which was only stopped by Phinehas's zealous act. This event underscores the recurring theme of Israel's struggle with idolatry and the need for covenant faithfulness. Beth-peor is also mentioned in <a href="/deuteronomy/34-6.htm">Deuteronomy 34:6</a> as the place near where Moses was buried, although the exact location of his grave remains unknown.<p><b>the slopes of Pisgah</b><br>The slopes of Pisgah refer to the mountainous region in Moab, part of the Abarim range, from which Moses viewed the Promised Land before his death. Pisgah is often associated with Mount Nebo, where Moses was granted a panoramic view of Canaan. This location holds significant prophetic and typological importance, as Moses represents the Law, which could not bring the people into the Promised Land, symbolizing the limitations of the Law in achieving salvation. The view from Pisgah serves as a reminder of God's promises and the fulfillment of His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The slopes of Pisgah are a testament to God's faithfulness and the hope of future fulfillment through Jesus Christ, who leads believers into the ultimate Promised Land.<p><b>and Beth-jeshimoth—</b><br>Beth-jeshimoth, meaning "house of the deserts," is located near the northeastern shore of the Dead Sea. It served as a boundary marker for the territory allotted to the tribe of Reuben. This area was part of the plains of Moab, where the Israelites camped before entering Canaan. The strategic location of Beth-jeshimoth made it a significant point for trade and military movements. In <a href="/ezekiel/25-9.htm">Ezekiel 25:9</a>, Beth-jeshimoth is mentioned in a prophecy against Moab, highlighting its importance in regional geopolitics. The mention of Beth-jeshimoth in <a href="/joshua/13-20.htm">Joshua 13:20</a> emphasizes the detailed fulfillment of God's promises regarding the land distribution among the tribes of Israel, showcasing His meticulous care and sovereignty over the affairs of His people.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/b/beth-peor.htm">Beth-peor</a></b><br>A location east of the Jordan River, associated with the worship of Baal-peor.
