Contextual Overview

41 Moses chose three cities east of the Jordan River, 42 where a person who accidentally killed someone could go. If the person was not killed because of hatred, the murderer's life could be saved by running to one of these cities. 43 These were the cities: Bezer in the desert high plain was for the Reubenites; Ramoth in Gilead was for the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan was for the Manassites. 44 These are the teachings Moses gave to the people of Israel. 45 They are the rules, commands, and laws he gave them when they came out of Egypt. 46 They were in the valley near Beth Peor, east of the Jordan River, in the land of Sihon. Sihon king of the Amorites ruled in Heshbon and was defeated by Moses and the Israelites as they came out of Egypt. 47 The Israelites took his land and the land of Og king of Bashan, the two Amorite kings east of the Jordan River. 48 This land went from Aroer, on the edge of the Arnon Ravine, to Mount Hermon. 49 It included all the Jordan Valley east of the Jordan River, and it went as far as the Dead Sea below Mount Pisgah.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

On this side: Deuteronomy 4:47, Deuteronomy 1:5, Deuteronomy 3:29, Numbers 32:19

over: Deuteronomy 3:29

Bethpeor: Beth-peor was a city which was situated, according to Eusebius, opposite Jericho, and six miles above Livias. As the name signifies "the house of Peor," it is probable that there was a temple to Peor, situated in this place, full in view of the people, while Moses was pressing upon them the worship of Jehovah alone; and perhaps the very temple where so many had sinned to their own destruction.

Moses: Deuteronomy 1:4, Deuteronomy 2:30-36, Deuteronomy 3:8, Numbers 21:21-32

Reciprocal: Numbers 26:3 - General Joshua 13:20 - Bethpeor

Gill's Notes on the Bible

On this side Jordan, in the valley, over against Bethpeor,.... Where the Israelites abode some time; see Deuteronomy 3:29,

in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon; which was now conquered, and in the hands of the Israelites:

whom Moses and the children of Israel smote, after they came out of Egypt; not as soon as, or quickly after they came from thence; for it was but a few months ago since this conquest was made, whereas it was near forty years since they came out of Egypt.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

These verses would be more properly assigned to the next chapter. They are intended to serve as the announcement and introduction of the address now to be commenced. Deuteronomy 4:44 gives a kind of general title to the whole of the weighty address, including in fact the central part and substance of the book, which now follows in 22 chapters, divided into two groups:

(a) Deut. 5–11,

(b) Deut. 12–26.

The address was delivered when they had already received the first-fruits of those promises Deuteronomy 4:46, the full fruition of which was to be consequent on their fulfillment of that covenant now again about to be rehearsed to them in its leading features.

Deuteronomy 4:48

Sion must not be confounded with Zion (compare Psalms 48:2.).
