- Place name meaning, cleft. A mountain peak (Num 23:28) to which Balak led Balaam as a last effort to induce him to pronounce a curse upon Israel. When he looked on the tribes encamped in the acacia groves below him, he could not refrain from giving utterance to a remarkable benediction (Num 24:1-9). Balak was more than ever enraged at Balaam, and bade him flee for his life. But before he went he gave expression to that wonderful prediction regarding the future of this mysterious people, whose goodly tents were spread out before him, and the coming of a Star out of Jacob and a Scepter out of Israel (Num 24:14-17).
Town in whose valley Israel camped as Moses delivered the sermons of the Book of Deuteronomy (Deut 3:29). It had belonged to Sihon, king of the Amorites (Deut 4:46). Moses died and was buried near there (Deut 34:6). It belonged to tribe of Reuben (Josh 13:20). It was located at modern khirbet Uyun Musa, twenty miles east of the north end of the Dead Sea. Numbers does not use the place name, but evidently at least part of the shameful worship of Baal Peor (Num 25:1-5) occurred at Beth-peor. Hosea described the actions of Peor as a turning point in Israel’s blissful honeymoon with God (Hos 9:10).
