📚 Historical Context

In the book of Deuteronomy, Moses is addressing the Israelites as they prepare to enter the Promised Land after their long wilderness journey. He references the earlier battles where God miraculously defeated Sihon and Og, the kings of the Amorites, as recorded in Numbers 21, to remind the people of God's consistent protection and power. This assurance was given to bolster their courage against the nations they would soon face in Canaan.
