Numbers 22:41

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge · Canne, Browne, Blayney, Scott, and others · Public Domain

high places: Bamoth baal:, "the high places of Baal," probably the same as Bamoth mentioned in Numbers 21:19-20; evidently not far from Baal-meon, in the mountains of Abarim. For the Israelites were now encamped in the plains of Moab, which these mountains overlook. Baal, which signifies a lord or governor, was a name common to many idols; and probably here was the same as Chemosh, the god of Moab. Numbers 25:2-3; Deuteronomy 12:2; 2 Chronicles 11:15; Jeremiah 48:35

utmost: Numbers 23:13
