ABARIM
Name given by the inhabitants of Canaan to the mountainous region located east of the Jordan River (Num. 33:47; Deut. 32:49; Jer. 22:20).
It was a chain of mountains (Num. 33:47-48) that crossed the territory of Moab assigned to the tribe of Reuben. The summits of mountains Nebo, Pisgah and Peor are part of the Abarim (Num. 27:12; 33:47-48; Deut. 32:49; 34:1).
On their wandering through the wilderness during the exodus, the people of Israel camped twice at a place called Ije-Abarim, when they surrounded the “land of Moab ยป (Num. 21:11).
