Deuteronomy 2:18 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 2:18

Thou art to pass over through Ar
That is, over the river Arnon, by the city Ar of Moab, which was situated by it; see ( Deuteronomy 2:9 ) and so Moses and the people of Israel were to pass along by that,

and by the coast of Moab;
for they were not admitted to enter the land and pass through it; only to travel on the borders of it, and that they were to begin to do this day; the day the Lord spake to Moses.

Deuteronomy 2:18 In-Context

16 Now as soon as all those of fighting age had died,

17 the LORD said to me:

18 Today you are crossing through the territory of Moab and Ar

19 and you will come close to the Ammonites. Don't aggravate them. Don't fight with them because I won't give any part of the Ammonites' land to you as your own. I've given it to Lot's descendants as their property.

20 Now people thought that land was Rephaim territory as well. The Rephaim had lived there previously. But the Ammonites called them "Zamzummim."
