Deuteronomy 1:5-7
Evangelical Heritage Version
5 In the area east of the Jordan, in the land of Moab, Moses took on the task of explaining clearly this law[a] as follows. This is what he said:
6 The Lord our God spoke to us at Horeb. He said, “You have stayed at this mountain long enough. 7 Turn in the other direction, start traveling, and go to the hill country of the Amorites and to all the people living in the Arabah,[b] in the hill country,[c] in the Shephelah,[d] and in the Negev,[e] and in the coastland by the sea (the land of the Canaanites) and the Lebanon range, up to the Great River (the River Euphrates).
