(追記) (追記ここまで)

From Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Valley
Aroer was a city located on the northern edge of the Arnon Valley, which served as a natural boundary between Moab and the Amorite territory. This location is significant as it marks the starting point of Israel's conquest in this region. The Arnon Valley itself is a deep gorge, and its mention highlights the geographical challenges faced by the Israelites. The strategic position of Aroer underscores the importance of controlling key locations for military and trade purposes.

along with the city in the valley
The city in the valley likely refers to a settlement within the Arnon Valley, possibly Ar or another Moabite city. This phrase emphasizes the thoroughness of the conquest, indicating that not only the elevated cities but also those in more challenging terrains were captured. The mention of cities in valleys suggests the comprehensive nature of God's promise to deliver the land to Israel.

even as far as Gilead
Gilead was a fertile region known for its balm and rich pastures, located north of the Arnon Valley. It was a significant area for the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh. The reference to Gilead indicates the extent of the territory conquered by the Israelites, fulfilling God's promise to give them a land flowing with milk and honey. This conquest also foreshadows the future settlement of these tribes in the Transjordan area.

not one city had walls too high for us
This phrase highlights the miraculous nature of Israel's victories, as fortified cities with high walls were typically difficult to conquer. The statement reflects the divine assistance provided to the Israelites, reminiscent of the fall of Jericho's walls. It underscores the theme of God's power and faithfulness in fulfilling His promises, as well as the importance of trusting in His provision.

The LORD our God gave us all of them
This declaration attributes the success of the conquests entirely to God's intervention. It emphasizes the covenant relationship between God and Israel, where God acts as the divine warrior on behalf of His people. This phrase also serves as a reminder of God's sovereignty and the fulfillment of His promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob regarding the land. It points to the broader biblical narrative of God's redemptive plan and foreshadows the ultimate victory through Jesus Christ, who conquers sin and death for His people.

Teaching Points
God's Sovereignty in Victory
The passage highlights that the victories of the Israelites were not due to their own strength but because "The LORD our God gave us all of them." This teaches us to rely on God's power rather than our own abilities.

Faith in God's Promises
The Israelites' conquest of seemingly insurmountable cities demonstrates the importance of trusting in God's promises. When God is with us, no obstacle is too great.

Obedience and Action
While God gave the victories, the Israelites still had to take action. This balance of divine sovereignty and human responsibility is crucial in our walk with God.

God's Faithfulness
The fulfillment of God's promises to the Israelites serves as a reminder of His faithfulness. We can trust that God will fulfill His promises to us as well.

Spiritual Warfare
Just as the Israelites faced physical battles, Christians face spiritual battles. Ephesians 6:10-18 encourages believers to put on the full armor of God, relying on His strength for victory.

What Does Deuteronomy 2:36 Mean
From Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Valley

“From Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Valley…” (Deuteronomy 2:36) pinpoints the southern starting line of Israel’s conquest east of the Jordan. The place still exists in modern Jordan, confirming the historical reliability of the narrative. Numbers 21:13 notes, “The Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.” By mentioning Aroer, Moses roots Israel’s victory in real space and time, reminding the people—and us—that God’s promises unfold in actual history, not myth.

Along with the city in the valley

The verse adds, “…along with the city in the valley…,” indicating that even the fortifications tucked deep in the gorge were overcome. Joshua 13:9 recaps the same sweep of territory, underscoring God’s thoroughness. What appeared inaccessible to human eyes was perfectly accessible to the LORD.

Even as far as Gilead

The reach extended “…even as far as Gilead…,” a fertile, rugged plateau north of the Arnon. Deuteronomy 3:10 reiterates, “all the towns of the plateau and all of Gilead and Bashan” fell under Israel’s control. This signals a transition from merely occupying ground to securing strategic highlands, assuring Israel of grazing lands for the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh (Numbers 32:1 – 5).

Not one city had walls too high for us

Physical walls symbolized impenetrable strength, yet Moses testifies, “not one city had walls too high for us.”

• Deuteronomy 9:1 had foretold, “Hear, O Israel: today you are about to cross the Jordan to go in and dispossess nations greater and stronger than you, with large cities fortified to the heavens”.

• Joshua 6 shows Jericho’s walls collapsing at God’s command, an early illustration of this truth.

• Psalm 44:3 later reflects, “For it was not by their sword that they took the land… it was Your right hand, Your arm, and the light of Your face”.

God’s power, not Israel’s engineering, leveled the obstacles.

The LORD our God gave us all of them

The climax declares, “The LORD our God gave us all of them.” Victory is presented as a gift, not a wage earned. Deuteronomy 1:30 assures, “The LORD your God, who goes before you, will fight for you”. Joshua 10:42 echoes, “All these kings and their land Joshua captured at one time, because the LORD, the God of Israel, fought for Israel”. Human obedience meets divine initiative; God’s sovereignty guarantees the outcome.

summary

Deuteronomy 2:36 records tangible geography, comprehensive conquest, and unmistakable divine enablement. From the canyon rim of Aroer to the rising heights of Gilead, every wall fell because “the LORD our God gave us all of them.” The verse invites believers to trust that no obstacle, however towering, can withstand the God who faithfully keeps His Word and gives victory to His people.

(36) Aroer.--According to Conder, "the ruin 'Ar 'Air, on the north bank of Wady Mojib." (But he makes the Aroer of Numbers 32:34 a different place, and marks it as unknown. Why?)

The city that is by the river.--The description suggests Rabbath-ammon, but this cannot be referred to here.

Verse 36. - Aroer, one of the Amorite cities, on the right bank of the river Arnon (cf. Joshua 12:2; Joshua 13:16). On the Moabite Stone, King Mesha says, "I built Aroer;" but this can only mean that, after some temporary condition of decay or ruin, he rebuilt it. On the borders of the northern side of the Wady Mojeb, there are heaps of ruins bearing the name of Ara'ir, which probably mark the site of this ancient town. There was another Aroer, belonging at a later period to the tribe of Gad, and opposite to Rabba, the chief city of the Ammonites (Joshua 13:25; 2 Samuel 24:5); and still another in the south of Judah (1 Samuel 30:28), probably in what is now known as the Wady A'rarah. The city that is by the river; properly, in the river or wady; i.e. At, the capital of Moab, which was in the valley of the Arnon, and which is mentioned here as marking the exclusive limit of the country that was captured. The word rendered "river" (נַחַל) is used of the valley or ravine (Arabic, wady) through which a stream flows, as well as of the stream itself (cf. Genesis 26:19; Numbers 24:6, etc.). Ar is elsewhere called Ar of Moab (Isaiah 15:1). Even unto Gilead, i.e. Mount Gilead, which rises to the north of the Jabbok (hod. Zerka).
