Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the Lord said unto Moses,.... After the covenant made with Israel in the plains of Moab, and the song delivered to them,
Deuteronomy 29:1
get thee up to this Mount Abarim; which was a range of mountains, so called from the passages by them over Jordan into the land of Canaan; one part of which was Nebo, and the top of that Pisgah, from whence Moses had the view of the good land here directed to; see
Numbers 33:47.
and see the land which I have given unto the children of Israel; for though he was now one hundred and twenty years old, his eyes were not dim, he could see at a great distance; and the height of this hill gave him an advantage of taking a prospect of the land, a great way into it; and very probably his sight might be greatly strengthened and increased at this time by the Lord, for the purpose; this may be an emblem of that sight by faith, which believers have at times of the heavenly Canaan, and sometimes are favoured with an enlarged one of it before their death.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Mount Abarim - See Numbers 21:20 note.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Numbers 27:12. Get thee up into this Mount Abarim — The mountain which Moses was commanded to ascend was certainly Mount Nebo, see Deuteronomy 32:49, c., which was the same as Pisgah, see Deuteronomy 34:1. The mountains of Abarim, according to Dr. Shaw, are a long ridge of frightful, rocky, precipitous hills, which are continued all along the eastern coast of the Dead Sea, as far as the eye can reach. As in Hebrew עבר abar signifies to pass over, Abarim here probably signifies passages and the ridge in this place had its name in all likelihood from the passage of the Israelites, as it was opposite to these that they passed the Jordan into the promised land.
