Deuteronomy 3:3-29 ▼

3 And 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.

4 And 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.

5 All these cities were fortified with high walls, gates, and bars, besides very many unwalled villages.

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

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

8 And 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—

9 the Sidonians call Hermon Sirion and the Amorite call it Senir—

10 all 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.)

12 And 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.

13 And 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.)

14 Jair, 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.

15 And to Machir I gave Gilead.

16 And 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,

17 and 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.

18 And 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.

19 But 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?,

20 until 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?.”

21 And 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.

22 Do not fear them, for YHWH your? God Himself fights for you?.”

23 And 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?

25 Let me pass over, please, and see the good land that is beyond the Jordan, this pleasant hill country, and Lebanon.”

26 And 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.

27 Go 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.

28 And 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.”

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