Deuteronomy 34:3

3. And the south Negeb, the South Country, was the land south of Canaan proper, toward the desert.

And the plain of the valley of Jericho, the city of palm-trees, unto Zoar The district from Jericho to Zoar. Robinson thought Zoar was located on the eastern side of the Dead Sea, at the foot of the mountains near its southern end, ( Biblical Researches, vol. ii, p. 649;) but in Smith’s Dictionary of the Bible, in the article “Zoar,” it is said, “It is highly probable that the Zoar of the Pentateuch was to the north of the Dead Sea, not far from its northern end, and in the general parallel of Jericho.” Tristram ( Land of Moab, American edition, p. 343) thinks he has found its site in the modern Zi’ara, not far from what he thinks is the site of Nebo. The view of Moses was northward through Gilead along the east of the Sea of Galilee to the southern slopes of Lebanon. Then his eye turns westward toward the Mediterranean, southward through the whole length of the land west of Jordan, and finally rests upon the view immediately before him “the circle of the plain of Jericho, the city of palm-trees, unto Zoar.”
