Deut 3
1
Then we turned, and went up the way to Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan came out
against us, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei.
2
And YHWH said to me, Fear him not; for I have delivered him, and all his people, and
his land, into your hand; and you shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the
Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon.
3
So YHWH our God delivered into our hand Og also, the king of Bashan, and all his people:
and we smote him until none was left to him remaining.
4
And we took all his cities at that time; there was not a city which we took not from
them; threescore cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
5
All these were cities fortified with high walls, gates, and bars; besides the unwalled
towns a great many.
6
And we utterly destroyed them, as we did to Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying
every inhabited city, with the women and the little ones.
7
But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, we took for a prey to ourselves.
8
And we took the land at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites
that were beyond the Jordan, from the valley of the Arnon to mount Hermon;
9
([which] Hermon the Sidonians call Sirion, and the Amorites call it Senir;)
10
all the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, to Salecah and Edrei,
cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
11
(For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of the Rephaim; behold, his bedstead
was a bedstead of iron; is it not in Rabbah of the children of Ammon? nine cubits
was its length, and four cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man.)
12
And this land we took in possession at that time: from Aroer, which is by the valley
of the Arnon, and half the hill-country of Gilead, and its cities, gave I
to the Reubenites and to the Gadites:
13
and the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, gave I to the half-tribe
of Manasseh; all the region of Argob, even all Bashan. (The same is called the land
of Rephaim.
14
Jair the son of Manasseh took all the region of Argob, to the border of the Geshurites
and the Maacathites, and called them, even Bashan, after his own name, Havvoth-jair,
to this day.)
15
And I gave Gilead to Machir.
16
And to the Reubenites and to the Gadites I gave from Gilead even to the valley of
the Arnon, the middle of the valley, and the border [thereof], even to the river Jabbok,
which is the border of the children of Ammon;
17
the Arabah also, and the Jordan and the border [thereof], from Chinnereth even to
the sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, under the slopes of Pisgah eastward.
18
And I commanded you at that time, saying, YHWH your God has given you this land to
possess it: you shall pass over armed before your brethren the children of Israel,
all the men of valor.
19
But your wives, and your little ones, and your cattle, (I know that you have much
cattle,) shall abide in your cities which I have given you,
20
until YHWH give rest to your brethren, as to you, and they also possess the land which
YHWH your God gives them beyond the Jordan: then shall you return every man to his
possession, which I have given you.
21
And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, Your eyes have seen all that YHWH your
God has done to these two kings: so shall YHWH do to all the kingdoms where you go
over.
22
You shall not fear them; for YHWH your God, he it is that fights for you.
23
And I besought YHWH at that time, saying,
24
O Lord YHWH, you have begun to show your servant your greatness, and your strong hand:
for what god is there in heaven or in earth, that can do according to your works,
and according to your mighty acts?
25
Let me go over, I pray you, and see the good land that is beyond the Jordan, that
goodly mountain, and Lebanon.
26
But YHWH was wroth with me for your sakes, and hearkened not to me; and YHWH said
to me, Let it suffice you; speak no more to me of this matter.
27
Get you up to the top of Pisgah, and lift up your eyes westward, and northward, and
southward, and eastward, and behold with your eyes: for you shall not go over this
Jordan.
28
But charge Joshua, and encourage him, and strengthen him; for he shall go over before
this people, and he shall cause them to inherit the land which you shall see.
29
So we abode in the valley over against Beth-peor.
