Context of Deuteronomy 1:3

1These are the words that Moses spoke to all the Israelites. They were together in the desert on the east side of the Jordan River. This is in the Jordan Valley near Suph. It is between the towns called Paran, Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth and Dizahab. 2(It is a journey of 11 days from Sinai to Kadesh-Barnea, along the road past Mount Seir.) Moses spoke to the Israelites on the first day of the 11th month, in the 40th year of their journey. He told the Israelites the message that the Lord had commanded him to speak. 4This happened after Moses and the Israelites had won against Sihon, king of the Amorites. Sihon ruled in Heshbon.

The Israelites fought against him at Edrei. 5Moses began to speak the Lord's message on the east side of the Jordan River, in Moab's country. This is what he said:
