Bethpeer adjoined the "ravine" (gai ) connected with Israel's camp and Moses' burial place (Deuteronomy 3:29; Deuteronomy 4:46; Deuteronomy 34:6). The ravine of Bethpeor was that which runs down from near Heshbon eastward past Beth-ram; at its upper end are a town's ruins, Naur or Taur. "The Peor" faced Jeshimon.
