4 This was after he had defeated Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon, and Og king of Bashan, who lived in Ashtaroth, at Edrei.
5 Across the Jordan in the land of Moab, Moses began to explain this law, saying:
6 “The Lord our God spoke to us at Horeb: ‘You have stayed at this mountain long enough.
7 Resume your journey and go to the hill country of the Amorites and their neighbors in the Arabah, the hill country, the Judean foothills, the Negev and the sea coast — to the land of the Canaanites and to Lebanon as far as the Euphrates River.
8 See, I have set the land before you. Enter and take possession of the land the Lord swore to give to your fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and their future descendants.’
9 “I said to you at that time: I can’t bear the responsibility for you on my own.
10 The Lord your God has so multiplied you that today you are as numerous as the stars of the sky.
