📚 Historical Context
In the historical context of the Israelites' wanderings in the wilderness, Moses and the people were preparing to enter the Promised Land after their exodus from Egypt. They had recently defeated Sihon, king of the Amorites, who ruled in Heshbon, and now faced Og, king of Bashan, as part of God's plan to give them the land. God spoke directly to Moses, assuring him of victory over Og just as He had provided success against Sihon.
