Deuteronomy 4:46
On this side Deut 4:47, Deut 1:5, Deut 3:29; Num 32:19 over Deut 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 Deut 1:4, Deut 2:30-36, Deut 3:8; Num 21:21-32
