Numbers 23:28 -

Unto the top of Peer. On the meaning of Peer see on Numbers 25:3 . This Peer was a summit of the Abarim ranges northwards from Pisgah, and nearer to the Israelites. The adjacent village, Beth-Peer, was near the place of Moses' burial ( Deuteronomy 34:6 ). From the phrase used in Deuteronomy 3:29 ; Deuteronomy 4:46 , with which the testimony of Eusebius agrees, it must have lain almost opposite Jericho on the heights behind the Arboth Moab. From Peer, therefore, the whole encampment, in all its length and breadth, would lie beneath their gaze. Jeshi-men. See on Numbers 21:20 .
