Context of Numbers 21:32

30But now, we have won against them! We have destroyed Heshbon, and as far as Dibon. We have killed them from Nophah to Medeba.’ 31So the Israelites stayed in the land of the Amorites. Moses sent men to find the best way to attack Jazer. Then the Israelites attacked Jazer and the towns round it. They caused the Amorites who lived there to run away. 33After that, the Israelites travelled towards Bashan. Og, the king of Bashan, marched out with his army to fight against them at Edrei. 34The Lord said to Moses, ‘Do not be afraid of Og. I will put him under your power, as well as his army and his land. Attack him in the same way that you attacked Sihon, the king of the Amorites who ruled in Heshbon.’
