Pisgah

a name that seems to have applied generally to the mountain range or district to the E. of the Lower Jordan, identical with, or itself a part of, the mountains of Abarrim (Deut. xxxii: 49; xxxiv: 1), one of the summits of which is Mount Nebo (the modern Neba), 2,644 feet above the level of the Mediterranean. From this point Moses enjoyed his glimpse of the Promised Land, in early spring.
