Lalu dibawanyalah dia ke Padang Pengintai, ke puncak gunung Pisga; ia mendirikan tujuh mezbah dan mempersembahkan seekor lembu jantan dan seekor domba jantan di atas setiap mezbah itu.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And he brought him into the field of Zophim,.... Or Sede Tzophim, as Hillerus i reads it, so called from the watch tower, and watchmen in it: Jarchi says, it was a high place, where a watchman stood to observe if an army came against a city, and so a very proper place to take a view of the armies of Israel from:
to the top of Pisgah; a high hill in this place, where perhaps the watch tower was, or, however, the watchman stood: this looked towards Jeshimon or Bethjesimoth, in the plain of Moab, where Israel lay encamped, see Numbers 21:20: and built seven altars, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar: as he had done before, Numbers 23:2.
i Onomastic Sacr. p. 935.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The field of Zophim - Or, “of watchers.” It lay upon the top of Pisgah, north of the former station, and nearer to the Israelite camp; the greater part of which was, however, probably concealed from it by an intervening spur of the hill. Beyond the camp Balaam’s eye would pass on to the bed of the Jordan. It was perhaps a lion coming up in his strength from the swelling of that stream (compare Jeremiah 49:19) that furnished him with the augury he awaited, and so dictated the final similitude of his next parable.
