And we took at that time out of the hands of the two kings of the Amorites, etc.] Sihon king of Heshbon, and Og king of Bashan; the land that [was] on this side Jordan; where Moses then was, being in the plains of Moab, and was the country beyond Jordan, with respect to the land of Canaan, and when in that: from the river of Arnon unto Mount Hermon; Arnon was a river which divided Moab and the Amorites, (<042213>Numbers 22:13) and Hermon was a mountain of Gilead, which ended where Lebanon began, and was the northerly border of this country. It was remarkable for the dew that fell on it; (see Gill on “<19D303>Psalm 133:3”).
