Contextual Overview

So we crossed over the brook Zered. 14 "Now the time that it took for us to come from Kadesh-barnea until we crossed over the brook Zered was thirty-eight years, until all the generation of the men of war perished from within the camp, as the LORD had sworn to them. 15 "Moreover the hand of the LORD was against them, to destroy them from within the camp until they all perished. 16 "So it came about when all the men of war had finally perished from among the people, 17 that the LORD spoke to me, saying,

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Thou art to pass over through Ar,.... That is, over the river Arnon, by the city Ar of Moab, which was situated by it; see Deuteronomy 2:9 and so Moses and the people of Israel were to pass along by that,

and by the coast of Moab; for they were not admitted to enter the land and pass through it; only to travel on the borders of it, and that they were to begin to do this day; the day the Lord spake to Moses.
