John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
Deuteronomy 3:12
And this land, which we possessed at that time
Or took possession of, having conquered it; for it still remained
in their possession:
from Aroer, which is by the river Arnon:
on the borders of Moab, from thence as far as Gilead was the land
which was taken from Sihon king of Heshbon, ( Deuteronomy
2:36 )
and half Mount Gilead, and the cities thereof:
which were taken from Og king of Bashan, ( Deuteronomy

at their request, on certain conditions to be performed by them,
afterwards repeated.
