Are they not beyond the Jordan ... Moreh?
The Israelites are on the eastern side of the Jordan River. Moses uses a question to remind the people where these mountains are located. This question can be translated as a statement. Alternate translation: "As you know, they are beyond the Jordan ... Moreh." (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)

"on the west side of the Jordan River"
