Mount Nebo from the East
Image Description from historic lecture booklet: "We are now looking upon Mount Nebo which rises near the head of the Dead Sea on the east. Our point of view is that which the Israelite hosts first obtained, when after marching around Edom and Moah, fighting a battle at Jahaz, and crossing the river Arnon, they came in sight of this mountain from the eastern plain, and passed around it on their way to the river Jordan: As they came in sight of this mountain whose rounded summit stands 2700 feet above the valley of the Jordan, they could see beyond the river, the walls of Jericho and the highlands of Canaan; they realized that their long journey was well-nigh over and the Promised land was now close at hand."
