They took possession
This phrase signifies the fulfillment of God's promise to the Israelites. The Hebrew root word "yarash" implies not just taking but inheriting or possessing as a rightful heir. This act of taking possession is a testament to God's faithfulness in delivering the land He promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It underscores the idea that God's promises are sure and will come to pass in His timing.

his land
Referring to the land of Sihon, king of the Amorites, this phrase highlights the specific territory that was conquered. The land was not just a geographical location but a symbol of God's provision and blessing. Historically, this area was significant for its strategic location and fertile grounds, which would support the burgeoning nation of Israel.

the land of Og king of Bashan
Og was a formidable king, and his land was known for its giants and fortified cities. The Hebrew name "Bashan" is often associated with strength and fertility. The conquest of Og's land demonstrated God's power over seemingly insurmountable obstacles and His ability to provide victory against great odds. This victory served as a reminder to Israel of God's sovereignty and might.

the two Amorite kings
The Amorites were a powerful people, and the defeat of their kings, Sihon and Og, was a significant military and spiritual victory for Israel. The term "Amorite" is often used in the Old Testament to represent the pagan nations that opposed Israel. The defeat of these kings symbolized the triumph of God's people over paganism and idolatry.

who were across the Jordan to the east
This geographical reference situates the events in a real, historical context. The Jordan River was a natural boundary, and the lands east of it were the first to be conquered by the Israelites. This phrase emphasizes the beginning of the fulfillment of God's promise to give Israel a land of their own. It also foreshadows the crossing of the Jordan and the subsequent conquests in the Promised Land, highlighting the journey of faith and obedience that Israel was called to undertake.
