Abarim:
(regions beyond) a mountain or range of highlands on the east of the Jordan, in the land of Moab (Deuteronomy 32:49) facing Jericho, and forming the eastern wall of the Jordan valley at that part. Its most elevated spot was "the Mount Nebo, 'head' of 'the' Pisgah," from which Moses viewed the Promised Land before his death. There is nothing to prove that the Abarim were a range or tract of any length, unless the Ije‐Abarim ('heaps of Abarim’) named in Numbers 33:44, and which were on the south frontier of Moab, are to be taken as mentioned in Numbers 27:12; 33:47-48 and Deuteronomy 32:49; also probably in Jeremiah 22:20, where the word is rendered in the Authorized Version "passages."
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
