The Wilderness Years End and the March Begins
From forty years of wilderness wandering (v. 1) through guarded transit past Edom, Moab, and Ammon (vv. 2-23) to the decisive command to begin the conquest at the Arnon (vv. 24-25) and the total defeat of Sihon (vv. 26-37) — the chapter turns the page from judgment to advance, from restraint to war.

24“Arise, set out, and cross the Arnon Valley. See, I have delivered into your hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land. Begin to take possession of it and engage him in battle.
25This very day I will begin to put the dread and fear of you upon all the nations under heaven. They will hear the reports of you and tremble in anguish because of you.”
