Deuteronomy 2:37
Except the land of the children of Ammon, to which we approached not: and all that border upon the torrent Jeboc, and the cities in the mountains, and all the places which the Lord our God forbade us.

- Vulgate (Clementine)
- absque terra filiorum Ammon, ad quam non accessimus : et cunctis quæ adjacent torrenti Jeboc, et urbibus montanis, universisque locis, a quibus nos prohibuit Dominus Deus noster.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- πλὴν ἐγγὺς υἱῶν Ἀμμὼν οὐ προσήλθομεν, πάντα τὰ συνκυροῦντα χειμάρρου Ἰαβὸκ καὶ τὰς πόλεις τὰς ἐν τῇ ὀρεινῇ, καθότι ἐνετείλατο Κύριος ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν ἡμῖν.
- Hebrew (WLC)

Haydock's commentary
Jeboc, towards its source; for both sides of the torrent were taken by the Hebrews from the kings Sehon and Og, who had already driven the Ammonites farther into the mountains, on the east. (Haydock)
When these demanded the conquered country to be restored to them, Jephte shewed that their claim was inadmissible, Judges xi. 13. (Calmet)
They had lost possession when the Hebrews came; and, as God had authorized the latter to take the land from those kings, without enquiring who were the former proprietors, the Ammonites, who had themselves expelled the Zomzommim, came with a very bad grace to assert their title, after a lapse of near 300 years. God only forbids the Hebrews to molest the actual dominions of the sons of Ammon, Moab, and Esau, in consideration of their fathers, to whom they were so nearly related. (Haydock)
