4:5 Look! I have taught you statutes and ordinances just as the
Lord my God told me to do, so that you might carry them out in
the land you are about to enter and possess.

to the people who will learn of all these statutes and say, “Indeed, this great nation is a very wise
people.”
Deuteronomy 4:1

Deuteronomy 3:9-12
3:9 (the Sidonians
call Hermon Sirion
and the Amorites call it Senir),
3:10 all the cities of the plateau, all of Gilead and Bashan as far as Salecah
and Edrei,
cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
3:11 Only King Og of Bashan was left of the remaining Rephaites. (It is noteworthy
that his sarcophagus
was made of iron.
Does it not, indeed, still remain in Rabbath
of the Ammonites? It is thirteen and a half feet
long and six feet
wide according to standard measure.)

3:2 The
Lord, however, said to me, “Don’t be afraid of him because I have already given him, his whole army,

Deuteronomy 3:15-17
3:15 I gave Gilead to Machir.
3:16 To the Reubenites and Gadites I allocated the territory extending from Gilead as far as Wadi Arnon (the exact middle of the wadi was a boundary) all the way to the Wadi Jabbok, the Ammonite border.
3:17 The Arabah and the Jordan River
were also a border, from the sea of Chinnereth
to the sea of the Arabah (that is, the Salt Sea),
beneath the watershed
of Pisgah
to the east.
