Berean Study Bible

Then they turned
This phrase indicates a decisive change in direction or action. In the Hebrew context, the word "turned" (וַיִּפְנוּ, vayifnu) suggests a purposeful movement, often in response to divine guidance. The Israelites, led by Moses, were not wandering aimlessly but were following God's strategic plan for their journey to the Promised Land. This turning signifies obedience and readiness to face new challenges under God's command.

and went up by way of Bashan
Bashan was a fertile and strategically significant region east of the Jordan River. The phrase "went up" (וַיַּעֲלוּ, vaya'alu) implies an ascent, both geographically and spiritually. Bashan was known for its strong cities and mighty warriors, making this journey a test of faith and courage for the Israelites. Historically, Bashan was a land of giants, and its conquest symbolized overcoming formidable obstacles through reliance on God's power.

and Og king of Bashan
Og was a formidable opponent, described in Deuteronomy 3:11 as one of the last of the Rephaim, a race of giants. His mention here highlights the magnitude of the challenge facing the Israelites. The name "Og" (עוֹג, Og) is associated with strength and might, emphasizing the miraculous nature of Israel's victories. Og's resistance represents the spiritual battles believers face, where reliance on God's strength is crucial.

came out against them
This phrase indicates a proactive and aggressive stance by Og. The Hebrew verb "came out" (יָצָא, yatza) suggests a deliberate act of confrontation. Og's opposition to Israel is symbolic of the spiritual warfare Christians encounter. It serves as a reminder that the journey of faith involves facing adversaries who seek to hinder God's purposes.

with all his people
Og did not face Israel alone; he brought his entire army. This underscores the collective strength and unity of the opposition. In a spiritual sense, it reflects the organized and persistent nature of challenges against God's people. The phrase serves as a call for believers to be equally united and prepared, drawing strength from their community and faith.

to battle at Edrei
Edrei was one of the royal cities of Bashan, a place of significant military importance. The term "battle" (לַמִּלְחָמָה, lammilchamah) conveys the intensity and seriousness of the conflict. Edrei, meaning "mighty" or "strong," symbolizes the formidable challenges believers face. The battle at Edrei is a testament to God's faithfulness in delivering His people, encouraging Christians to trust in His promises amidst life's battles.

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 33. - They turned and went up by the way of Bashan. The brevity of the narrative does not allow us to know who went upon this expedition, or why they went. It may have been only the detachment which had reconnoitered and taken Jaazer, and they may have found themselves threatened by the forces of Og, and so led on to further conquests beyond the Jabbok. Og the king of Bashan. Og was himself of the aboriginal giant race which had left so many remnants, or at least so many memories, in these regions (see on Deuteronomy 2:10-12, 20-23; Joshua 12:4; 13:12); but he is classed with Sihon as a king of the Amorites (Joshua 2:10) because his people were chiefly at least of that race. Bashan itself comprised the plain now known as Jaulan and Haulan beyond the Jarmuk (now Mandhur), the largest affluent of the Jordan, which joins it a few miles below the lake of Tiberias. The kingdom of Og, however, extended over the northern and larger part of Gilead, a much more fertile territory than Bashan proper (see on Deuteronomy 3:1-17). At Edrei. Probably the modern Edhra'ah, or Der'a, situate on a branch of the Jarmuk, some twenty-four miles from Bozrah. The ancient city lies buried beneath the modern village, and was built, like the other cities of Bashan, in the most massive style of architecture. The cities of Og were so strong that the Israelites could not have dispossessed him by any might of their own if he had abode behind his walls. Either confidence in his warlike prowess or some more mysterious cause (see on Joshua 24:12) impelled him to leave his fortifications, and give battle to the Israelites to his own utter defeat.
