Evidence for a Just Conquest
According to commentators, this verse is part of a quotation from an ancient text used as legal evidence. It proved that the land Israel was entering had been previously conquered from Moab by the Amorites. Therefore, when Israel took this land from the Amorites, they were not violating God's command to leave Moab alone, demonstrating the justice of their actions.
