“So we abode in the valley over against Beth–peor.”
So we remained in the valley opposite Beth-peor -- the chapter closes with Israel encamped in the valley opposite Beth-peor, the location from which Balaam later attempted to curse Israel (Numbers 22-24). From this vantage point, Moses will deliver the remaining law (chapters 5-26). The location becomes the pulpit for the farewell address.
