Commentary on Numbers 22:1

Theological / Devotional

The plains of Moab. The plains country had formerly belonged to the Moabites. Though the Amorites had conquered it (ch. 21:26), the country retained its original title.

We are not told the month in which the children of Israel pitched their tents in the plains of Moab, but it is generally thought to have been near the end of the 40th year when they set out from the mountains of Pisgah, or Abarim (chs. 21:20; 33:48). The plain has an area of some 60 sq. mi.

On this side Jordan. That is, the east side, opposite Jericho. They did not cross the Jordan until Joshua took command (Joshua 3:1).
