Barnes' Notes
Albert Barnes (1798–1870) · Notes on the Whole Bible · 19th-century historical commentary
“Beth-peor, i. e., the house of Peor, no doubt derived its name from a temple of the Moabite god Peor which was there situated. It was no doubt near to Mount Peor Numbers 23:28, and also to the valley of the Jordan perhaps in the Wady Heshban. return to 'Top of Page' Footnotes: Copyright Statement These files are public domain.

“3:29 Beth-peor, otherwise known as Baal-peor (see 4:3) or simply Peor (Num 23:28; Josh 22:17), became Moses’ burial place (Deut 34:6). At that place the false prophet Balaam had earlier attempted to curse Israel on behalf of Balak, king of Moab (Num 23:27–24:25).”
