Deuteronomy 29:7 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 29:7

And when ye came unto this place
The borders of Moab, the wilderness before it, to which joined the plains they were now in; see ( Numbers 21:13 Numbers 21:20 ) ( Deuteronomy 2:26 ) ;

Sihon king of Heshbon, and Og king of Bashan, came out against us unto
battle;
not together, but one after the other, and that very quickly; as soon almost as they had fought with the one, and conquered him, the other came out against them:

and we smote them;
killed them and their armies, and the inhabitants of their countries; the history of which see in ( Numbers 21:23-35 ) .

Deuteronomy 29:7 In-Context

5 I took you through the wilderness for forty years and through all that time the clothes on your backs didn't wear out, the sandals on your feet didn't wear out,
6 and you lived well without bread and wine and beer, proving to you that I am in fact God, your God.
7 When you arrived here in this place, Sihon king of Heshbon and Og king of Bashan met us primed for war but we beat them.
8 We took their land and gave it as an inheritance to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.
9 Diligently keep the words of this Covenant. Do what they say so that you will live well and wisely in every detail.
