⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
This verse describes the eastern boundary of the land that Moses was defining for the Israelites, stretching from the Jordan River to the Dead Sea near Mount Pisgah.
📚 Historical Context
Moses is describing the territorial boundaries of the land east of the Jordan River that had been conquered and would be given to the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and half of Manasseh. The 'sea of the plain' refers to the Dead Sea, and Mount Pisgah is where Moses would later view the Promised Land before his death.
