Deuteronomy
Chapter 3
1. THEN we turned, and
went up the way to Ba-shan: and Og the king of Bashan came out against
us, he and all his people, to battle at Ed-re-i
2. And the LORD said unto me, Fear him not: for I will deliver him, and
all his people, and his land, into thy hand; and thou shalt do unto him
as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.
3. So the LORD our God delivered into our hands Og also, the king of
Ba-shan, 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 Ba-shan.
5. All these cities were fenced with high walls, gates, and bars; beside
unwalled towns a great many.
6. And we utterly destroyed them, as we did unto Sihon king of Heshbon,
utterly destroying the men, women, and children, of every city.
7. But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, we took for a prey
to ourselves.
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;
9. (Which Hermon the Si-do-ni-ans call Si-ri-on; and the Amorites call
it She-nir;)
10. All the cities of the plain, and all Gil-e-ad, and all Ba-shan, unto
Sal-chan and Ed-re-i, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
11. For only Og king of Ba-shan 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.
12. And this land, which we possessed at that time, from A-ro-er, which
is by the river Arnon, and half mount Gil-e-ad, and the cities thereof,
gave I unto the Reubenites and to the Gadites.
13. And the rest of Gil-e-ad, and all Ba-shan, being the kingdom of Og,
gave I unto the half tribe of Ma-nas-seh; all the region of Argob, with
all Bashan, which was called the land of giants.
14. Ja-ir the son of Ma-nas-seh took all the country of Argob unto the
coasts of Ge-shu-ri and Ma-ach-a-thi; and called them after his own
name, Ba-shan-ha-voth-ja-ir, unto this day.
15. And I gave Gil-e-ad unto Ma-chir.
16. And unto the Reubenites and unto the Gadites I gave from Gil-e-ad
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;
17. The plain also, and Jordan, and the coast thereof, from Chinnereth
even unto the sea of the plain, even the salt sea, under Ash-doth-pis-gah
eastward.
18. And I commanded you at that time, saying, The LORD your God hath
given you this land to possess it: ye shall pass over armed before your
brethren the children of Israel, all that are meet for the war.
19. But your wives, and your little ones, and your cattle, (for I know
that ye have much cattle,) shall abide in your cities which I have given
you;
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 hath
given them beyond Jordan: and then shall ye return every man unto his
possession, which I have given you.
21. And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, Thine eyes have seen
all that the LORD your God hath done unto these two kings: so shall the
LORD do unto all the kingdoms whither thou passest.
22. Ye shall not fear them: for the LORD your God he shall fight for
you.
23. And I besought the LORD at that time, saying,
24. O Lord GOD, thou hast begun to shew thy servant thy greatness, and
thy mighty hand: for what God is there in heaven or in earth, that can
do according to thy works, and according to thy might?
25. I pray thee, let me go over, and see the good land that is beyond
Jordan, that goodly mountain, and Lebanon.
26. But the LORD was wroth with me for your sakes, and would not hear
me: and the LORD said unto me, Let it suffice thee; speak no more unto
me of this matter.
27. Get thee up into the top of Pisgah, and lift up thine eyes westward,
and northward, and southward, and eastward, and behold it with thine
eyes: for thou shalt not go over this Jordan.
29. 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 thou shalt see.
29. So we abode in the valley over against Beth-peor.
