Pisgah. [Pis'gah]

Mountain on the east of the Jordan. Balaam offered sacrifices there, and it was the spot from which Moses viewed the promised land, and near to which he died. It was associated with Nebo (q.v.), and was said to be 'over against Jericho.' Numbers 21:20; Numbers 23:14; Deuteronomy 3:27; Deuteronomy 4:49; Deuteronomy 34:1. The peak called Ras Siaghah, 31 46' N, 35 43' E, is probably the site.
