About Beth-peor
A Moabite city given that was to the tribe of Reuben when the promised land was divided (Joshua 13:20). Before the Israelites entered into the land of Canaan, they made camp in a valley across from Beth-peor. The people gathered to hear Moses’ final message after he had seen the land from the top of Mount Pisgah (Deuteronomy 3:29; 4:46). Moses was buried here after he was forbidden to enter the promised land (Deuteronomy 34:6). Baal-peor (or Baal of Peor) was the name of a local deity worshiped in this area (Numbers 25:3–5).
