Context of Deuteronomy 1:4

2It is eleven days’ journey from Horeb by way of Mount Seir to Kadesh-barnea. 3Now Moses spoke to Bnei-Yisrael, according to all Adonai had commanded him for them—in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, after he had struck down Sihon king of the Amorites who lived in Heshbon, and Og king of the Bashan who lived in Ashtaroth and Edrei. 5Across the Jordan in the land of Moab, Moses began to explain this Torah saying, 6“Adonai our God spoke to us at Horeb saying: ‘You have stayed long enough at this mountain.
