The Editor of Calmet , who supposes the Israelites to be now in the regular track from Gaza to Egypt , is of opinion that mount Shapher is the ancient name of mount Cassius , Catjeh , or Catie , a huge mole of sand , almost surrounded by the Mediterranean , on which was built a temple to Jupiter Cassius.

Dr. Shaw places this port on the western shore of the Elanitic gulf of the Red Sea. He says it is now called Meenah el Dsahab , or the golden port , by the Arabs; because it was from this place that Solomon sent his ships to Ophir.

the mountains3 parallels

These mountains were a ridge of rugged hills east of Jordan , and north and west of the Arnon. Nebo , Pisgah , and Peor , were but different names of the hills of which they were composed. Eusebius and Jerome inform us , that some part of them , as one went up to Heshbon , retained the old name of Abarim in their time; and that the part called Nebo was opposite Jericho , not far from the Jordan , six miles west from Heshbon , and seven east from Livias. Dr. Shaw describes them as "an exceeding high ridge of desolate mountains , no otherwise diversified than by a succession of naked rocks and precipices; rendered in some places the more frightful by a multiplicity of torrents , which fall on each side of them. This ridge is continued all along the eastern coast of the Dead sea." Mount Nebo is now called Djebel Attarous; and is described as a barren mountain , the highest point in the neighbourhood , with an uneven plain on the top. Burckhardt , Travels , pp. 369 , 370
