Context of Deuteronomy 1:4

2Normally it takes only eleven days to travel from Mount Sinai to Kadesh-barnea, going by way of Mount Seir. 3But forty years after the Israelites left Egypt, on the first day of the eleventh month, Moses addressed the people of Israel, telling them everything the Lord had commanded him to say. This took place after he had defeated King Sihon of the Amorites, who ruled in Heshbon, and at Edrei had defeated King Og of Bashan, who ruled in Ashtaroth. 5While the Israelites were in the land of Moab east of the Jordan River, Moses carefully explained the Lord’s instructions as follows. 6“When we were at Mount Sinai, the Lord our God said to us, ‘You have stayed at this mountain long enough.
