The Defeat of Og
(Numbers 21:31–35)

1And we turned and went up the road to Bashan, and Og king of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei. 2And YHWH said to me, “Do not fear him, for into your hand I have delivered him and all his people and his land, and you shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorite, who dwelt in Heshbon.”

3And YHWH our God delivered into our hands also Og king of Bashan, and all his people. And we struck him until he had no remaining survivors.

4And we took all his cities at that time. There was not a city that we did not take from them—sixty cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan. 5All these cities were fortified with high walls, gates, and bars, besides very many unwalled villages. 6And we devoted them to destruction as we did to Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying every city, the men, the women, and the children.

7And all the livestock and the spoil of the cities we plundered for ourselves.

8And at that time we took the land from the hand of the two kings of the Amorite, who were on this side of the Jordan, from the River Arnon to Mount Hermon— 9the Sidonians call Hermon Sirion and the Amorite call it Senir— 10all the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, as far as Salcah 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 bed was an iron bed. Is it not in Rabbah of the sons of Ammon? Nine cubits is its length and four cubits its width by the standard cubit.)

Land Division East of the Jordan
(Numbers 32:1–42; Joshua 13:8–14)

12And this land we possessed at that time, from Aroer, which is by the River Arnon, and half the mountains of Gilead; and its cities I gave to the Reubenite and the Gadite.

13And the rest of Gilead and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I gave to the half-tribe of Manasseh. (All the region of Argob with all Bashan was called the land of the Rephaim.) 14Jair, son of Manasseh, took all the region of Argob as far as the border of the Geshurite and the Maachathite, and called them after his own name, Bashan Havvoth-jair, to this day.

15And to Machir I gave Gilead. 16And to the Reubenite and the Gadite I gave from Gilead and as far as the River Arnon, the middle of the valley and the border, and to the Jabbok River, the border of the sons of Ammon, 17and the plain, and the Jordan, and the border from Chinnereth, and as far as the Sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, below the slopes of Pisgah to the east.

18And I commanded you⁺ at that time, saying, “YHWH your⁺ God has given to you⁺ this land to possess. You⁺ shall pass over armed before your⁺ brothers the sons of Israel, all the sons of valor. 19But your⁺ wives and your⁺ little ones and your⁺ livestock—I know that you⁺ have much livestock—shall stay in your⁺ cities that I have given you⁺, 20until that YHWH has given rest to your⁺ brothers as to you⁺, and they also possess the land that YHWH your⁺ God is giving them beyond the Jordan. And you⁺ will return, every man to his inheritance that I have given to you⁺.”

21And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, “Your eyes have seen all that YHWH your⁺ God has done to these two kings. Thus YHWH will do to all the kingdoms through which you pass. 22Do not fear them, for YHWH your⁺ God Himself fights for you⁺.”

Moses Forbidden to Cross the Jordan
(Numbers 27:12–17)

23And I pleaded with YHWH at that time, saying, 24“O Lord YHWH, You have begun to show Your servant Your greatness and Your mighty hand. For what god is in the heavens or on the earth who does works as Your works and as Your mighty deeds? 25Let me pass over, please, and see the good land that is beyond the Jordan, this pleasant hill country, and Lebanon.”

26And YHWH was angry with me on your⁺ account, and He would not listen to me. And YHWH said to me, “Enough of it. Do not add to speak to Me anymore of this matter. 27Go up to the top of Pisgah and lift up your eyes toward the west, and the north, and the south, and the east, and look with your eyes. For you shall not pass over this Jordan. 28And command Joshua and encourage him and strengthen him, for he shall go over before this people, and he shall cause them to inherit the land that you will see.”

29And we stayed in the valley opposite Beth-peor.
