Context of Deuteronomy 1:4

2(It takes eleven days to go from Horeb to Kadesh Barnea by the Mount Seir road.) 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 reigned in Heshbon, and at Edrei had defeated Og king of Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth. 5East of the Jordan in the territory of Moab, Moses began to expound this law, saying: 6The Lord our God said to us at Horeb, “You have stayed long enough at this mountain.
