Numbers 33:47 - Exposition

The mountains of Abarim, before Nebo. The same locality is called "the top of Pisgah, which looketh toward the waste," in Numbers 21:20 (see note there, and at Numbers 27:12 ). Nebo is the name of a town here, as in Numbers 32:3 , Numbers 32:38 , and in the later books; in Deuteronomy ( Deuteronomy 32:49 ; Deuteronomy 34:1 ) it is the name of the mountain, here included in the general designation Abarim.
