Deuteronomy 3

And we turned and went up the road of the Bashan. And Og, the king of the Bashan, came out against us, he and all his people, to the battle {at} Edrei.

And God said to me, ‘You shall not fear him; for I have given him and all his people and his land into your hand. And you will do to him as you did to Sihon, king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon.’ \*

And God our God also gave Og, the king of Bashan, and all his people into our hands. And we struck him down until not a survivor of his remained.

And we captured all his cities at that time. There was not a city of 60 cities that we did not take from them, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan. \*

All these {were} inaccessible cities {with} high walls {and} gates and bars, besides very many unwalled villages.

And we devoted them, as we did to Sihon, king of Heshbon, devoting every city, men, the women, and the children.

But all the cattle and the spoil of the cities we plundered for ourselves. \*

And we took at that time the land from the hand of the two kings of the Amorites who {were} across the Jordan, from the wadi of Arnon to Mount Hermon”

(the Sidonians call Hermon Sirion, and the Amorites call it Senir),

“all the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, as far as Salekah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.” \*

(For only Og, king of Bashan, had remained from the remnant of the Raphaites. Behold, his couch {was} a couch of iron. {Is} it not in Rabbah, of the sons of Ammon? {It was} nine cubits long and four cubits wide, by the cubit of man.) \*

“And we took in possession this land at that time, from Aroer, that {is} by the wadi of Arnon, and half the hill {country} of Gilead, and its cities, I gave to the Reubenites and to the Gadites.

And the rest of Gilead and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I gave to half of the tribe of Manasseh.” (All the region of Argob, to all Bashan. The same is called the land of the Raphaites. \*

Jair, son of Manasseh, took all the region of Argob as far as the border of the Geshurites and the Maacathites. And he called it, Bashan, by his name, Havvoth Jair, to this day.) \*

“And to Machir I gave Gilead.

And to the Reubenites and to the Gadites I gave from Gilead and as far as the wadi of Arnon, the middle of the wadi {as} a border, and as far as the wadi of Jabbok, the border of the sons of Ammon, \*

and the Arabah, and the Jordan {as} a border, from Chinnereth and to the Sea of the Arabah” (the Salt Sea) “under the slopes of the Pisgah eastward. \*

And I commanded you at that time, saying, ‘God your God has given to you this land to possess it. The girded ones, all sons of bravery, will cross over to the faces of your brothers, the sons of Israel. \*

Only your women and your children, and your cattle (I know that you have much cattle), will stay in your cities that I have given to you

until God causes your brothers, as you, to have rest. And they will possess, they also, the land that God your God is giving to them across the Jordan. And you will return, {every} man, to his inheritance that I have given to you.’ \*

And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, ‘Your eyes have seen all that God your God has done to these two kings. Thus God will do to all the kingdoms that you will be passing through there.

Do not fear them, for God your God, he, he {is} the one fighting for you.’ \*

And I sought compassion from God at that time, saying,

‘My Lord God, you, you have begun to show your servant your greatness and your strong hand. What god {is} in heaven or on earth that does works as your works and as your mighty deeds?

Let me cross, please, and see the good land that {is} across the Jordan, that good hill {country}, and Lebanon.’ \*

But God was angry with me because of you, and he did not listen to me. And God said to me, ‘Enough for you—you shall not continue speaking to me again on this matter.

Go up the head of Pisgah and lift up your eyes westward and northward and southward and eastward. And look with your eyes, for you will not cross this Jordan. \*

And instruct Joshua and encourage him and strengthen him, for he, he will cross over to the faces of this people, and he, he will cause them to inherit the land that you will see.’

And we stayed in the valley opposite Beth Peor. \*
