A part, a mountain summit in the land of Moab, in the territory of Reuben, where Balak offered up sacrifices (Num. 21:20; 23:14), and from which Moses viewed the promised land (Deut. 3:27). It is probably the modern Jebel Siaghah. (See NEBO.)
Pisgah
Moses climbs a mountain he will not cross. God tells him in Deuteronomy 3:27 to go up to the top of Pisgah and look in every direction, “for thou shalt not go over this Jordan”. In chapter 34 he does so, and the LORD shows him the land from Gilead to the valley of Jericho. The promise made to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob lies in front of him, close enough to see. Two other verses merely use Pisgah to locate a plain and its springs. Deuteronomy 34:1-4 is a short, moving scene, and it gives the mountain its place in the story.
