Deuteronomy 4:44-49
New Catholic Bible
Moses’ Second Address
The Covenant with Israel[a]
44 Introduction. This is the law that Moses set before the Israelites. 45 These are the stipulations, the statutes, and the judgments that Moses declared to the Israelites when they came out of Egypt 46 and they were dwelling in the valley near Beth-peor on the east of the Jordan, in the land of Sihon, the king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon, and who was defeated by Moses and the Israelites when they came out of Egypt. 47 They took possession of his land and also the land of Og, the king of Bashan, the two kings of the Amorites who reigned on the east side of the Jordan. 48 This land extended from Aroer, that is on the bank of the Arnon River, up to Mount Sion (that is Hermon). 49 It included all of the plain on the east side of the Jordan up to the Sea in the Arabah, at the foot of the slopes of Pisgah.
