Introduction to the Law
44 This is the law that Moses set before the people of Israel. 45 These are the testimonies, the statutes, and the rules, which Moses spoke to the people of Israel when they came out of Egypt, 46 beyond the Jordan (A)in the valley opposite Beth-peor, in the land of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon, (B)whom Moses and the people of Israel defeated when they came out of Egypt. 47 And they took possession of his land and the land (C)of Og, the king of Bashan, the two kings of the Amorites, who lived to the east beyond the Jordan; 48 (D)from Aroer, which is on the edge of the Valley of the Arnon, as far as Mount (E)Sirion[a] (that is, (F)Hermon), 49 together with all the Arabah on the east side of the Jordan as far as (G)the Sea of the Arabah, under the slopes of Pisgah.

Moses Reviews the Law
44 This is the Law that Moses reviewed in the presence of the Israelis. 45 These are the instructions, decrees, and ordinances that Moses declared to the Israelis when they came out of Egypt. 46 He did this[a] east of the Jordan, in the valley opposite Beth Peor, in the land of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon, and whom Moses and the Israelis defeated after leaving Egypt. 47 So they took possession of his land, as well as the land of King Og of Bashan. Both Amorite kings lived east of the Jordan— 48 from Aroer on the edge of the Wadi[b] Arnon as far as Mount Sirion,[c] which is also called Hermon, 49 and all the Arabah east of the Jordan as far as the Dead Sea[d] below the slopes of Pisgah.
