Deuteronomy 2:37

37 The only land you didn't take, obeying God's command, was the land of the People of Ammon, the land along the Jabbok and around the cities in the hills.

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 We took the livestock and the plunder from the towns we had captured and carried them off for ourselves.
36 From Aroer on the edge of the Brook Arnon and the town in the gorge, as far as Gilead, not a single town proved too much for us; God, our God, gave every last one of them to us.
37 The only land you didn't take, obeying God's command, was the land of the People of Ammon, the land along the Jabbok and around the cities in the hills.
