Bamoth-Baal


Bamoth-Baal was an elevated point in the land of Moab mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. It was allotted to the Tribe of Reuben, and included with a list of towns near Heshbon. It is probably identical with the Bamoth between Nahaliel and the "valley that is in the country of Moab, to the top of Pisgah", mentioned in the list of stopping-places in Numbers 21:19-20.
Bethbamot in the Moabite Stone, line 27, may also be considered as connected with it.
According to the allotments in Joshua 13:17, some take the place to be on Mount 'Aṭṭârûs. G.A. Smith is inclined to the opinion of Conder that it is located at one of the many cromlechs above the Wadi Dchîded, northeast of the Dead Sea. The statement of Eusebius, which places it on the Arnon, is likely inaccurate.
