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.

36 From Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Gorge, and from the town in the gorge, even as far as Gilead, not one town was too strong for us. The LORD our God gave us all of them.
