Deuteronomy 4:46
44 This is the law that Moses set before the Israelites.
45 These are the testimonies, statutes, and ordinances that Moses proclaimed to them after they had come out of Egypt,
while they were in the valley across the Jordan facing Beth-peor in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon and was defeated by Moses and the Israelites after they had come out of Egypt.
47 They took possession of the land belonging to Sihon and to Og king of Bashan—the two Amorite kings across the Jordan to the east—
48 extending from Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Valley as far as Mount Siyon (that is, Hermon),
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
