And Balak brought Balaam unto the top of Peor, that looketh toward Jeshimon.
Brought Balaam unto the top of Peor - the eminence on the Abarim range which stood a little north of Nebo, and nearer the Israelite encampment, commanding a view of the whole host.
That looketh toward Jeshimon - the wilderness, the Arabah, or desert tract on both sides of the Dead Sea. The part of it, however, specially referred to was the site of Israel's encampment, "over against Beth-peor" (Numbers 24:2; Deuteronomy 3:29; Deuteronomy 4:6; Deuteronomy 34:6). There, for the third time, seven altars were erected, and sacrifices offered as on the previous occasions.
