Raw Blame History

General Information:

Moses continues to remind the people of what happened in the past.

Sihon ... Heshbon

These are the names of a man and a place. See how you translated them in Deuteronomy 1:4. (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/translate-names)

your God ... your might

Moses speaks to the Israelites as if they were one man, so all instances of "your" are singular. (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-you)

hardened his mind and made his heart obstinate

Both of these phrases mean the same thing and emphasize that Yahweh "caused him to become very stubborn." (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-parallelism)

obstinate

refusing to change opinion or behavior
