Joshua 12:3 And from the wilderness to the sea of Ceneroth, towards the east, and to the sea of the wilderness, which is the most salt sea, on the east side, by the way that leadeth to Bethsimoth: and on the south side, that lieth under Asedoth, Phasga.

Bethsimoth is ten miles from Jericho, (Eusebius) near the Dead Sea, in the plains of Moab. (Calmet) --- Phasga. Asedoth lay at the foot of this mountain, being well supplied with water. Subjacet Acedoth usque Phasga, the southern limits of Sehon's dominions had "abundance of springs, as far as Phasga." (Haydock)
