Context of Deuteronomy 1:7

5The Israelites were east of the Jordan River in Moab when Moses began to review God’s teachings. This is what he said: 6At Mount Horeb the Lord our God said to us, “You have stayed at this mountain long enough. Break camp, and get ready! Go to the mountain region of the Amorites, and go to everyone living on the plains, in the mountains, in the foothills, in the Negev, on the whole Mediterranean coast (the land of the Canaanites), and into Lebanon as far as the Euphrates River. 8I’m giving you this land. Enter, and take possession of the land the Lord swore to give to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and to you, their descendants.” 9At that time I said to you, “I’m not able to take care of you by myself.
