Reuben's eastern boundary — And Beth-peor, and the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth-jeshimoth. Beth-peor (where Balaam blessed Israel) and Pisgah (where Moses dies) and Beth-jeshimoth mark the southern and eastern extents of Reuben's territory. The inclusion of Beth-peor connects Reuben's settlement to the crucial moment of Balaam's blessing and the pre-conquest Israelite covenant renewal.
