Context of Deuteronomy 1:4

2(It is a journey of 11 days from Sinai to Kadesh-Barnea, along the road past Mount Seir.) 3Moses 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. This happened after Moses and the Israelites had won against Sihon, king of the Amorites. Sihon ruled in Heshbon. They had also won against Og, the king of Bashan, who ruled in Ashtaroth. 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: 6The Lord our God said to us at Sinai, ‘You have stayed for a long time near this mountain.
