Introduction to the Law

44 This is the law Moses set before the Israelites. 45 These are the stipulations, decrees and laws Moses gave them when they came out of Egypt 46 and were in the valley near Beth Peor east of the Jordan, in the land of Sihon(A) king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon and was defeated by Moses and the Israelites as they came out of Egypt. 47 They took possession of his land and the land of Og king of Bashan, the two Amorite kings east of the Jordan. 48 This land extended from Aroer(B) on the rim of the Arnon Gorge to Mount Sirion[a](C) (that is, Hermon(D)), 49 and included all the Arabah east of the Jordan, as far as the Dead Sea,[b] below the slopes of Pisgah.

44 Now this is the law which Moses set before the children of Israel. 45 These are the testimonies, the statutes, and the judgments which Moses spoke to the children of Israel after they came out of Egypt, 46 on this side of the Jordan, (A)in the valley opposite Beth Peor, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel (B)defeated[a] after they came out of Egypt. 47 And they took possession of his land and the land (C)of Og king of Bashan, two kings of the Amorites, who were on this side of the Jordan, toward the [b]rising of the sun, 48 (D)from Aroer, which is on the bank of the River Arnon, even to Mount [c]Sion (that is, (E)Hermon), 49 and all the plain on the east side of the Jordan as far as the Sea of the Arabah, below the (F)slopes of Pisgah.
