Deuteronomy 2:37 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 2:37

Only unto the land of the children of Ammon thou camest not,
&c.] Which was then in their possession; otherwise what Sihon had took away from them, that the children of Israel came into and enjoyed, as before observed, ( Deuteronomy 2:19 )

nor unto any place of the river Jabbok;
any town or city situated on this river, which was the border of the children of Ammon, ( Deuteronomy 3:16 ) , (See Gill on Genesis 32:22),

nor unto the cities in the mountains;
much less did they penetrate into the innermost parts of their country, the mountainous part thereof, and the cities there:

nor unto whatsoever the Lord our God forbad us:
whether in Edom, Moab, or Ammon, particularly the latter, of which he is more especially and peculiarly speaking.

Deuteronomy 2:37 In-Context

35 But we took for ourselves the livestock and everything else from the towns we had captured.
36 Not a single town was too strong for us. That includes all of the towns from Aroer on the rim of the Arnon River valley all the way to Gilead. It also includes the town in the valley. The LORD our God gave us all of them.
37 And you obeyed the LORD's command. You didn't go near any part of the land of the Ammonites. That includes the land along the Jabbok River. It also includes the land around the towns that are in the hills.
