Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Deuteronomy 3:12-20

5. A review of the distribution of the conquered land 3:12-20The division of the land of these two Amorite kings among two and one-half Israelite tribes (cf. Numbers 32) further fulfilled God’s promise to give the land to His people. This extensive portion of real estate was part of the land God promised to Abraham.
