There is a mountain near Jericho that is popularly claimed to be the site of this temptation, but France notes there is no scriptural or historical evidence to support this. [1] There is possibly a link between this verse and Moses viewing the Holy Land in Deuteronomy 3:27 and Deuteronomy 34:1–4, but Nolland does not think such a link is ...
