And Balak brought Balaam to the top of Peor,.... The name of an high mountain in Moab, so called from a gap or opening in it; here the idol Baal was worshipped, and from hence had the name of Baalpeor, Nu 25:3 and here, very probably, was a temple built to the honour of him, called Bethpeor, the house or temple of Baalpeor, De 34:6,that looketh towards Jeshimon; as Pisgah also did, and very likely it was not far from it, since from thence they came hither, Nu 23:14.
