Reuben (Josh. 13:20; Deut. 3:29; 4:46). In the
"ravine" or
valley over against Beth-peor Moses was probably
buried (Deut.
34:6).

Beth Peor in the Bible Encyclopedia - ISBE
beth-pe'-or (beth pe`or; oikos Phogor; in Joshua
(Vaticanus), Baithphogor, or beth-): "Over against Beth-
peor" the Israelites were encamped, "beyond the Jordan, in
the valley," when Moses uttered the speeches recorded in Dt
(Dt 3:29; 4:46). "In the valley in the land of Moab over
against Beth-peor" Moses was buried (Dt 34:6). Beth-peor and
the slopes of Pisgah (the King James Version "Ashdoth-
pisgah") are mentioned in close connection in Josh 13:20.
According to Eusebius, Onomasticon, Beth-peor was situated
near Mt. Peor (Fogor) opposite Jericho, 6 miles above
Livias. Mt. Peor is the "top" or "head" of Peor (Nu 23:28).
Some height commanding a view of the plain East of the river
in the lower Jordan valley is clearly intended, but thus far
no identification is possible. "The slopes of Pisgah" are
probably the lower slopes of the mountain toward Wady `Ayun
Musa. Somewhere North of this the summit we are in search of
may be found. Conder suggested the cliff at Minyeh, South of
Wady Jedeideh, and of Pisgah; and would locate Beth-peor at
el-Mareighat, "the smeared things," evidently an ancient
place of worship, with a stone circle and standing stones,
about 4 miles East, on the same ridge. This seems, however,
too far South, and more difficult to reach from Shittim than
we should gather from Nu 25:1 ff.
