On the other side - Or rather, on this side of Arnon, for so it now was to the Israelites, who had not yet passed over it. Between Moab and the Amorites - Though formerly it and the land beyond it belonged to Moab, yet afterwards it had been taken from them by Sihon. This is added to reconcile two seemingly contrary commands of God, the one that of not meddling with the land of the Moabites, Deu 2:9, the other that of going over Arnon and taking possession of the land beyond it, Deu 2:24, because, saith he, it is not now the land of the Moabites, but of the Amorites. |
Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
Arnon - Another river which takes its rise in the mountains of Moab, and, after having separated the ancient territories of the Moabites and Ammonites, falls into the Dead Sea, near the mouth of Jordan. |

24 Rise ye up [06965], take your journey [05265], and pass over [05674] the river [05158] Arnon [0769]: behold [07200], I have given [05414] into thine hand [03027] Sihon [05511] the Amorite [0567], king [04428] of Heshbon [02809], and his land [0776]: begin [02490] to possess [03423] it, and contend [01624] with him in battle [04421].
9 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto me, Distress [06696] not the Moabites [04124], neither contend [01624] with them in battle [04421]: for I will not give [05414] thee of their land [0776] for a possession [03425]; because I have given [05414] Ar [06144] unto the children [01121] of Lot [03876] for a possession [03425].
