Devarim 2:3
Rashi on Deuteronomy 2:3:1 (Sifrei Devarim 29:3)
רב לכם סב את ההר הזה. הרבה לכם סביבותיו; כבר התחלתם לכבוש את הארץ, עשיתם מלחמה עם סיחון ועוג, והרי אתם קרובים ליכנס לארץ.
English: Rashi reads the command to stop circling the mountain as a turning point: Israel had already begun the conquest through the battles with Sihon and Og and was now close to entering the land.
Classic Commentary
The end of the wandering is framed as a transition into the next stage of Israel's mission.
