So Balak led Balaam to Watchmen Hills. [293] This was on top of Mount Pisgah. At that place, Balak built seven altars. [294] And then Balak killed a bull and a ram on each altar as a sacrifice.
Moses and Eleazar the priest counted all these people. They counted the people of Israel while they were in the Jordan Valley in Moab. This was near the Jordan River across from Jericho.
The people of Israel were on the east side of the Jordan River in the land of Moab, and Moses began to explain the things that God commanded. Moses said:
Go up to the top of Mount Pisgah. Look to the west, to the north, to the south, and to the east. You may see these things with your eyes, but you can never go across the Jordan River.
Moses climbed Mount Nebo. Moses went from the Jordan Valley in Moab to the top of Mount Pisgah. This was across the Jordan River from Jericho. The Lord showed Moses all the land from Gilead to Dan.
This land also included the whole Jordan Valley on the east side of the Jordan River. To the south, this land reached to the Dead Sea. [23] To the east, it reached to the foot of Mount Pisgah.)
