So we settled down in the valley opposite Beth Peor.

They left and went up to the hill country, coming to the Eshcol Valley, which they scouted out.

Instead, the land you are crossing the Jordan to occupy is one of hills and valleys, a land that drinks in water from the rains,

the Negev, and the plain of the valley of Jericho, the city of the date palm trees, as far as Zoar.

Their territory extended from Aroer at the edge of the Arnon valley as far as Mount Siyon – that is, Hermon –

For the Lord your God is bringing you to a good land, a land of brooks, springs, and fountains flowing forth in valleys and hills,

and all the elders of that city nearest the corpse must wash their hands over the heifer whose neck was broken in the valley.

and bring the heifer down to a wadi with flowing water, to a valley that is neither plowed nor sown. There at the wadi they are to break the heifer’s neck.

in the Transjordan, in the valley opposite Beth Peor, in the land of King Sihon of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon. (It is he whom Moses and the Israelites attacked after they came out of Egypt.

He buried him in the land of Moab near Beth Peor, but no one knows his exact burial place to this very day.

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.

Now, get up and cross the Wadi Zered.” So we did so.

From Aroer, which is at the edge of Wadi Arnon (it is the city in the wadi), all the way to Gilead there was not a town able to resist us – the Lord our God gave them all to us.

So at that time we took the land of the two Amorite kings in the Transjordan from Wadi Arnon to Mount Hermon

Get up, make your way across Wadi Arnon. Look! I have already delivered over to you Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land. Go ahead! Take it! Engage him in war!

This is the land we brought under our control at that time: The territory extending from Aroer by the Wadi Arnon and half the Gilead hill country with its cities I gave to the Reubenites and Gadites.

Now the length of time it took for us to go from Kadesh Barnea to the crossing of Wadi Zered was thirty-eight years, time for all the military men of that generation to die, just as the Lord had vowed to them.

This is what Moses said to the assembly of Israel in the Transjordanian wastelands, the arid country opposite Suph, between Paran and Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth, and Di Zahab

including all the Arabah of the Transjordan in the east to the sea of the Arabah, beneath the watershed of Pisgah.)

From there they traveled to Gudgodah, and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a place of flowing streams.
