Anglican
SCRIPTURE

"So we abode in the valley over against Beth-peor." — Deuteronomy 3:29 (ASV)

So we abode in the valley over against Beth-peor. —Moses’ burial-place, as shown in Deuteronomy 34:6. It is a significant finishing touch to the scene described above. This verse also concludes the recapitulation of Israel’s journey from Horeb (Deuteronomy 1:6) to the banks of Jordan, with which this first discourse of Moses begins. The remainder, contained in Deuteronomy 4, is the practical part of the discourse, which now begins.
