One of the holiest sites of the bible is located here. From Mount Nebo Moses supposedly had glanced at the Holy Land for the first and last time. At least that is what the bible reports: “Then the lord said to him: “This is the land I promised on oath to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob when I said, ‘I will give it to your descendants.’ I have let you see it with your eyes, but you will not cross over into it. And Moses the servant of the Lord died there in Moab, as the Lord had said.” His grave has not been found until this day though.
Dort liegt einer der heiligsten Orte der Bibel. Am Mount Nebu soll Moses zum ersten, aber auch letzten Mal das Heilige Land erblickt haben. So zumindest berichtet die Bibel: „Der Herr sagte zu ihm: Das ist das Land, das ich Abraham, Isaak und Jakob versprochen habe. Hinüberziehen wirst du nicht. Danach starb Mose, der Knecht des Herrn, wie der Herr bestimmt hatte“. Sein Grab wurde allerdings bis heute nicht gefunden.
