Deuteronomy 3:12-20

5. A review of the distribution of the conquered land 3:12-20

The 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. Moses’ earlier description of this conquest stressed Israel’s role in taking this land (Numbers 32), but in this one he stressed that it was God who gave it to them (Deuteronomy 3:20).
