📚 Historical Context

In the book of Deuteronomy, Moses is recounting the Israelites' journey through the wilderness after their victories over the kings of the Amorites, including Og of Bashan. They were encamped in the valley opposite Bethpeor, a location in Moab that later became associated with idolatry and God's judgment on the people, as described in Numbers 25. This moment underscores the Israelites' ongoing reliance on God's guidance as they neared the Promised Land.
