Nahaliel - i. e. brook of God; the modern Wady Enkheileh. The Israelites must have crossed the stream not much above Ar. Bamoth - Otherwise Bamoth-baal, the high places of Baal Num 22:41: mentioned as near Dibon (Dhiban) in Jos 13:17, and Isa 15:2. See Num 32:34.

- Numbers 21:20
and from Bamoth to the valley in Moab where the top of Pisgah overlooks the wasteland.
Commentary on Numbers 21:202 voices
And from Bamoth, in the valley,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
In the country of Moab - Rather, in the field of Moab: the upland pastures, or flat downs, intersected by the ravine of Wady Waleh. Pisgah, which looketh toward Jeshimon - Or, toward the waste. See Num 33:47. Pisgah was a ridge of the Abarim mountains, westward from Heshbon. From the summit the Israelites gained their first view of the wastes of the Dead Sea and of the valley of the Jordan: and Moses again ascended it, to view, before his death, the land of promise.

- Joshua 13:17
to Heshbon and all its cities on the plateau, including Dibon, Bamoth-baal, Beth-baal-meon,
Commentary on Joshua 13:172 voices
Heshbon, and all her cities that are in the plain,.... Which was by Medeba, and reached to Dibon: Dibon, and Bamothbaal, and Bethbaalmeon; Dibon was rebuilt by Gad, though it belonged to Reuben, and perhaps was inhabited by both, being on the borders of each; and Bamothbaal signifies the high places of Baal; see Num 22:41; perhaps this is the same with Bamoth in the valley, Num 21:20; and Bethbaalmeon is the same with Baalmeon in Num 32:38; where it is highly probable was a temple of Baal, since both "beth" signifies an house, and "meon" an habitation.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
Bamoth-baal - The high places of Baal, probably so called from altars erected on hills for the impure worship of this Canaanitish Priapus.
