ABARIM




ABARIM, mountains east of Jordan, over against Jericho, on the northern border of Moab, within the limits of the tribe of Reuben.  It is impossible to define exactly their extent. Eusebius fixes them at six miles west of Heshbon, and seven east of Livias. The mountains Nebo, Pisgah, and Peor, were summits of the Aharim. Numb, xxvii. 12; xxxiii. 47, 48. Deut. xxxiii. 49.
