Context of Deuteronomy 1:4
2It is an eleven-day journey from Horeb to Kadesh-barnea by way of Mount Seir. 3In the fortieth year, on the first day of the eleventh month, Moses proclaimed to the Israelites all that the LORD had commanded him concerning them. This was after he had defeated Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon, and then at Edrei had defeated Og king of Bashan, who lived in Ashtaroth. 5On the east side of the Jordan in the land of Moab, Moses began to explain this law, saying: 6The LORD our God said to us at Horeb: “You have stayed at this mountain long enough.
