Pisgah

비스가

The height Numbers 21:20 describes as looking down on the desert; the Korean Revised Version calls it Mount Pisgah there. Israel comes from Bamoth by the valley in the field of Moab to its top. At Numbers 23:14 Balak takes Balaam into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and builds seven altars. Deuteronomy 3:16–17 has the land given to the Reubenites and the Gadites reach “under the slopes of Pisgah eastward”, and 3:27 has the LORD say, “Go up to the top of Pisgah, and lift up your eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and see with your eyes; for you shall not go over this Jordan.” Deuteronomy 34:1 says that Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that is opposite Jericho.

DEU 3:12–17, engwebp
¹²This land we took in possession at that time: from Aroer, which is by the valley of the Arnon, and half the hill country of Gilead with its cities, I gave to the Reubenites and to the Gadites;
¹³and the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I gave to the half-tribe of Manasseh—all the region of Argob, even all Bashan. (The same is called the land of Rephaim.
¹⁴Jair the son of Manasseh took all the region of Argob, to the border of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, and called them, even Bashan, after his own name, Havvoth Jair, to this day.)
¹⁵I gave Gilead to Machir.
¹⁶To the Reubenites and to the Gadites I gave from Gilead even to the valley of the Arnon, the middle of the valley, and its border, even to the river Jabbok, which is the border of the children of Ammon;
¹⁷the Arabah also, and the Jordan and its border, from Chinnereth even to the sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, under the slopes of Pisgah eastward.

²⁶But the LORD was angry with me because of you, and didn’t listen to me. The LORD said to me, “That is enough! Speak no more to me of this matter.
²⁷Go up to the top of Pisgah, and lift up your eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and see with your eyes; for you shall not go over this Jordan.
²⁸But commission Joshua, and encourage him, and strengthen him; for he shall go over before this people, and he shall cause them to inherit the land which you shall see.”

¹⁶From there they traveled to Beer; that is the well of which the LORD said to Moses, “Gather the people together, and I will give them water.”
¹⁷Then Israel sang this song: “Spring up, well! Sing to it,
¹⁸the well, which the princes dug, which the nobles of the people dug, with the scepter, and with their poles.” From the wilderness they traveled to Mattanah;
¹⁹and from Mattanah to Nahaliel; and from Nahaliel to Bamoth;
²⁰and from Bamoth to the valley that is in the field of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looks down on the desert.

¹³Balak said to him, “Please come with me to another place, where you may see them. You shall see just part of them, and shall not see them all. Curse them from there for me.”
¹⁴He took him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered up a bull and a ram on every altar.
¹⁵He said to Balak, “Stand here by your burnt offering, while I meet God over there.”
¹⁶The LORD met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, “Return to Balak, and say this.”
¹⁷He came to him, and behold, he was standing by his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him. Balak said to him, “What has the LORD spoken?”
¹⁸He took up his parable, and said, “Rise up, Balak, and hear! Listen to me, you son of Zippor.
¹⁹God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should repent. Has he said, and he won’t do it? Or has he spoken, and he won’t make it good?
²⁰Behold, I have received a command to bless. He has blessed, and I can’t reverse it.
²¹He has not seen iniquity in Jacob. Neither has he seen perverseness in Israel. The LORD his God is with him. The shout of a king is among them.
²²God brings them out of Egypt. He has as it were the strength of the wild ox.
²³Surely there is no enchantment with Jacob; neither is there any divination with Israel. Now it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, ‘What has God done!’
²⁴Behold, a people rises up as a lioness. As a lion he lifts himself up. He shall not lie down until he eats of the prey, and drinks the blood of the slain.”
²⁵Balak said to Balaam, “Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all.”
²⁶But Balaam answered Balak, “Didn’t I tell you, saying, ‘All that the LORD speaks, that I must do’?”
