Deuteronomy 4:3
<03068> [what the.]
<0376> [for all the men.]
It appears from this appeal, that the pestilence, as well as the sword of the magistrates, singled out the guilty persons and spared the rest. (Ps 91:6-8). The legislator, in order to deter the Jews from idolatry, alludes to this fact, but he notices no circumstance but one, which, though in the original narrative was not stated, was infinitely the most important to advert to on this occasion; but which no persons, but spectators of the fact, and perfectly acquainted with every individual concerned in it, could possibly feel the truth of.
Deuteronomy 4:46
Transjordan <05676> [On this side.]
opposite <04136> [over.]
Beth Peor <01047> [Beth-peor.]
Beth-peor was a city which was situated, according to Eusebius, opposite Jericho, and six miles above Livias. As the name signifies "the house of Peor," it is probable that there was a temple to Peor, situated in this place, full in view of the people, while Moses was pressing upon them the worship of Jehovah alone; and perhaps the very temple where so many had sinned to their own destruction.
Moses <04872> [Moses.]
Deuteronomy 34:6
buried <06912 01516> [he buried him.]

Beth-jeshimoth <01020> [Beth-jesimoth.]
Probably the place called Bethsimath by Eusebius, east of Jordan, and about ten miles south of Jericho.
Abel-shittim <063> [Abel-shittim. or, the plains of Shittim.]
This place, according to Josephus, (Ant. 1. iv. c. 7, 1. Bell. 1. v. c. 3,) who calls it Abela, was 60 furlongs east of Jordan.
