Deuteronomy 3:29
So we stayed in the valley opposite Beth-peor.
BSB
ASV
So we abode in the valley over against Beth-peor.
KJV
So we abode in the valley over against Beth–peor.
So we abode in the valley over against Bethpeor. In the plains of Moab, over against a temple built for Baalpeor upon a mountain, so called from that idol, or that idol from the mountain; this is the valley where Moses was buried, Deu 34:6.
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 Num 23:28, and also to the valley of the Jordan perhaps in the Wady Heshban.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
