Deuteronomy 2: Lessons from the Wilderness

Deuteronomy 2 recounts the Israelites' lengthy journey around the territory of Edom, as commanded by God, marking a period of wandering in the wilderness. This chapter reflects on the Israelites' encounters with various peoples, including the Edomites, Moabites, and Ammonites, emphasizing God's instructions not to provoke these groups into conflict since He had granted them their own lands. It also details the defeat of the Amorites under King Sihon of Heshbon, highlighting this victory as a sign of God's power and favor towards the Israelites, granting them possession of the conquered territories.
