Boyd’s Bible Dictionary:
(mountains beyond). A range of mountains or highlands of Moab, east of and facing Jordan opposite Jericho (Num. 27:12; 33:47; Deut. 32:49). Ije-abarim (Num. 21:11), heaps or ruins of Abarim. Nebo, Peor, and Pisgah (where Moses saw the promised land) belong to this range. “Passages” (Jer. 22:20).
Concise Bible Dictionary:
Probably the chain of mountains that lie beyond or to the east of the Dead Sea and the lower Jordan (Num. 33:47-48). Deuteronomy 32:49-50 shows that mount Nebo was connected with Abarim and that it was over against Jericho and also that it was where Moses viewed the land and died (Num. 27:12-13). Deuteronomy 3:27 connects this with Pisgah so that Pisgah and Nebo apparently formed part of Abarim, in the land of Moab. Abarim is translated “passages” (Jer. 22:20).
