22:41 Bamoth-baal (“high places of Baal”) was along the ridge of hills that overlooks the plains of Moab northeast of the Dead Sea (cp. “Bamoth” in 21:19; Josh 13:17). It was the first of three locations to which the Moabite king took Balaam so that he could see the sprawling Israelite camp (also Num 22:41; 23:14, 28). From such a high point he could see the Israelites (22:11) and perform the ceremonies that Balak hoped would lead to a powerful imprecation (curse) against them.
