R. Bachye: With reference to the fact that Sichon had captured the land from Mo?av, they werre now permitted to take possession of it and that they should therefore do battle with Sichon.
Oznayim la'Torah: They had now left the desert and arrived in the vicinity of the Arnon brook, which was part of Sichon's uninhabited territory. So Hashem instructed them to take possession of that area before waging war with Sichon for the rest of his territory. 1
