So they struck down
The phrase "struck down" in Hebrew is often translated from the root word "נכה" (nakah), which means to smite, strike, or defeat. This term is frequently used in the Old Testament to describe God's deliverance of His people through military victory. The Israelites' ability to strike down their enemies is a testament to God's promise and power, as He had assured them of victory over the inhabitants of the Promised Land. This action is not merely a military conquest but a fulfillment of divine prophecy and a step towards the establishment of Israel in the land God had promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Og, his sons, and all his people
Og was the king of Bashan, a region known for its fortified cities and giants. The mention of "Og, his sons, and all his people" emphasizes the totality of the victory. Og is described in Deuteronomy 3:11 as the last of the Rephaim, a race of giants, which underscores the formidable nature of the enemy. The defeat of Og and his people signifies the overcoming of seemingly insurmountable obstacles through faith and obedience to God. Historically, this victory would have been significant for the Israelites, as it demonstrated God's power over even the mightiest of foes.

leaving no survivors
The phrase "leaving no survivors" reflects the complete and utter defeat of the enemy, which was a common practice in ancient Near Eastern warfare. This total destruction can be understood within the context of divine judgment against the Canaanite nations, who were seen as morally corrupt and idolatrous. From a theological perspective, this act of leaving no survivors is seen as a means of purifying the land from influences that could lead Israel away from worshiping the one true God. It also serves as a sobering reminder of the seriousness of sin and the holiness of God.

and they took possession of his land
The taking possession of the land is a fulfillment of God's covenant promise to the patriarchs. The Hebrew word for "possession" is "ירש" (yarash), which means to inherit or occupy. This act of taking possession is not just a physical occupation but a spiritual inheritance, as the land is a gift from God to His chosen people. Theologically, this signifies the faithfulness of God in keeping His promises and the importance of the Israelites' role in His redemptive plan. The land of Bashan, known for its fertility and strategic location, would have been a valuable addition to Israel's territory, further establishing them as a nation under God's providence.

Verse 35. - So they smote him. Acting under the direct commands of God, they exterminated the Amorites of the northern as they had of the southern kingdom. Chapter 22:1. - And the children of Israel set forward. Not necessarily after the defeats of Sihon and Og; it is quite as likely that this last journey was made while the armies were away on their northern conquests. And pitched in the plains of Moab. The Arboth Moab, or steppes of Moab, were those portions of the Jordan valley which had belonged to Moab perhaps as far north as the Jabbok. In this sultry depression, below the level of the sea, there are tracts of fertile and well-watered land amidst prevailing barrenness (see on Numbers 33:49). On this side Jordan by Jericho. Rather, "beyond the Jordan of Jericho," מֵעֵבֶר לְיַרְדֵּן יְרֵחו. On the phrase, "beyond the Jordan" ("Peraea"), which is used indifferently of both sides, the one by a conventional, the other by a natural, use, see on Deuteronomy 1:1. The Jordan of Jericho is the river in that part of its course where it flows past the district of Jericho.
