---excerpt from the Illustrated Bible Dictionary.

Abarim - regions beyond; i.e., on the east of Jordan, a mountain, or rather a mountain-chain, over against Jericho, to the east and south-east of the Dead Sea, in the land of Moab. From "the top of Pisgah", i.e., Mount Nebo (q.v.), one of its summits, Moses surveyed the Promised Land (Deuteronomy 3:27; Deuteronomy 32:49), and there he died (Deuteronomy 34:1 - 5). The Israelites had one of their encampments in the mountains of Abarim (Numbers 33:47 - 33:48) after crossing the Arnon.
