This site's exposition
When you reached this place
on Deuteronomy 29:7-9
Sihon and Og are the last events this generation took part in, so the retelling stops there. Numbers 21:21-35 gives the battles and Numbers 32 the grant of that land to Reuben, Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh.
This site's exposition
We took their land
John Gill names the land taken from Sihon and Og as Jazer, Gilead and Bashan, good country for pasture. The Reubenites, the Gadites and half of Manasseh asked for it and received it as an inheritance on conditions, which Numbers 32 records. Henry calls fresh mercies a spur to obedience.
