Charles Ellicott Commentary Deuteronomy 11:30

"Are they not beyond the Jordan, behind the way of the going down of the sun, in the land of the Canaanites that dwell in the Arabah, over against Gilgal, beside the oaks of Moreh?" — Deuteronomy 11:30 (ASV)

Where the sun goes down. —A memorable passage, as attesting the true position of the speaker, east of Jordan, opposite Jericho. The sun has been seen by travelers from that very spot going down exactly in the remarkable gap between Ebal and Gerizim.

The plains of Moren. —Rather, the oaks or terebinths of Moreh. (See Genesis 12:6.)
