AB′ARIM (“the beyonds,” sc. Jordan), the edge of the Moabite plateau overlooking the entire Jordan valley: a range of highlands forming its whole horizon, broken only by the valley mouths of the Yarmuk, the Zerka, and the Jabbok. Its highest elevation is Mount Nebo, whence Moses had his “Pisgah view” of Palestine (see Pisgah), and whence Jericho is plainly visible. Ancient altars, perhaps Amorite, were discovered here in 1881.
