44 Now this is the Law which Moses set before the sons of Israel; 45 these are the testimonies and the statutes, and the ordinances which Moses spoke to the sons of Israel, when they came out of Egypt, 46 across the Jordan, in the valley (A)opposite Beth-peor, in the land of (B)Sihon king of the Amorites who lived in Heshbon, whom Moses and the sons of Israel [a]defeated when they came out of Egypt. 47 And they took possession of his land and the land of (C)Og king of Bashan, the two kings of the Amorites, who were across the Jordan to the [b]east, 48 from (D)Aroer, which is on the edge of the [c]Valley of Arnon, even as far as (E)Mount Sion (that is, Hermon), 49 with all the Arabah across the Jordan to the east, even as far as the sea of the Arabah, [d]at the foot of 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.
