Deuteronomy 2:17 In-Context

15 The hand of Yahweh was against them to root them out from the midst of the camp until they perished completely.

16 "{And then} when all the men of war {had died} from among the people,

17 Yahweh spoke to me, {saying},

18 'You [are] about to cross over the boundary of Moab {today} at Ar.

19 When you approach {the border of} the {Ammonites}, you shall not harass them, and you shall not get involved in battle with them, for I have not given the land of {the Ammonites} to you as a possession; because I have given it to the descendants of Lot [as] a possession.
