On this side: Deu 4:47, Deu 1:5, Deu 3:29; Num 32:19 over: Deu 3:29 Bethpeor: Beth-peor was a city which was situated, according to Eusebius, opposite Jericho, and six miles above Livias. As the name signifies "the house of Peor," it is probable that there was a temple to Peor, situated in this place, full in view of the people, while Moses was pressing upon them the worship of Jehovah alone; and perhaps the very temple where so many had sinned to their own destruction. Moses: Deu 1:4, Deu 2:30-36, Deu 3:8; Num 21:21-32 Deuteronomy 4:47
