✦ MADE SIMPLE

And the LORD will do to them what he did to Sihon and Og, the kings of the Amorites, and to their land when he destroyed them.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

God is promising to defeat Israel's enemies just like he already defeated the Amorite kings Sihon and Og.

📚 Historical Context

Moses is speaking to the Israelites just before they enter the Promised Land, reminding them of God's recent victories. Sihon and Og were powerful Amorite kings who ruled territories east of the Jordan River, and God had given Israel decisive victories over them earlier in their journey. These victories served as proof of God's power and faithfulness to help Israel conquer the land he had promised them.
