DEUTERONOMY ยท Chapter 3
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.
3:2 And the LORD said unto me, Fear him not: for I will deliver him,
and all his people, and his land, into your hand; and you shall do unto
him as you did unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.
3:3 So the LORD our God delivered into our hands Og also, the king
of Bashan, and all his people: and we stroke him until none was left to
him remaining.
3:4 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.
3:5 All these cities were fenced with high walls, gates, and bars;
beside towns without protective walls a great many.
3:6 And we utterly destroyed them, as we did unto Sihon king of Heshbon,
utterly destroying the men, women, and children, of every city.
3:7 But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, we took for a
prey to ourselves.
3:8 And we took at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the
Amorites the land that was on this side Jordan, from the river of Arnon
unto mount Hermon;
3:9 (Which Hermon the Sidonians call Sirion; and the Amorites call
it Shenir;)
3:10 All the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, unto
Salchah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
3:11 For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of giants;
behold his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is it not in Rabbath of the
children of Ammon? nine cubits was the length thereof, and four cubits
the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man.
3:12 And this land, which we possessed at that time, from Aroer, which
is by the river Arnon, and half mount Gilead, and the cities thereof, gave
I unto the Reubenites and to the Gadites.
3:13 And the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, being the kingdom of Og,
gave I unto the half tribe of Manasseh; all the region of Argob, with all
Bashan, which was called the land of giants.
3:14 Jair the son of Manasseh took all the country of Argob unto the
coasts of Geshuri and Maachathi; and called them after his own name, Bashanhavothjair,
unto this day.
3:15 And I gave Gilead unto Machir.
3:16 And unto the Reubenites and unto the Gadites I gave from Gilead
even unto the river Arnon half the valley, and the border even unto the
river Jabbok, which is the border of the children of Ammon;
3:17 The plain also, and Jordan, and the coast thereof, from Chinnereth
even unto the sea of the plain, even the salt sea, under Ashdothpisgah
eastward.
3:18 And I commanded you at that time, saying, The LORD your God has
given you this land to possess it: all of you shall pass over armed before
your brethren the children of Israel, all that are meet for the war.
3:19 But your wives, and your little ones, and your cattle, (for I
know that all of you have much cattle,) shall abide in your cities which
I have given you;
3:20 Until the LORD have given rest unto your brethren, as well as
unto you, and until they also possess the land which the LORD your God
has given them beyond Jordan: and then shall all of you return every man
unto his possession, which I have given you.
3:21 And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, your eyes have seen
all that the LORD your God has done unto these two kings: so shall the
LORD do unto all the kingdoms where you pass.
3:22 All of you shall not fear them: for the LORD your God he shall
fight for you.
3:23 And I besought the LORD at that time, saying,
3:24 O Lord GOD, you have begun to show your servant your greatness,
and your mighty hand: for what God is there in heaven or in earth, that
can do according to your works, and according to your might?
3:25 I pray you, let me go over, and see the good land that is beyond
Jordan, that goodly mountain, and Lebanon.
3:26 But the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, and would not hear
me: and the LORD said unto me, Let it suffice you; speak no more unto me
of this matter.
3:27 Get you up into the top of Pisgah, and lift up your eyes westward,
and northward, and southward, and eastward, and behold it with your eyes:
for you shall not go over this Jordan.
3:28 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.
3:29 So we abode in the valley opposite to Bethpeor.
