Deuteronomy 3:8-17 ▼

8 At that time we took from the two kings of the Amorites (sayers) the land across the Jordan (flowing down), from the Arnon (rushing stream) Valley as far as Mount Hermon (a sanctuary)—

9 which the Sidonians call (a sanctuary) Sirion (breastplate) but the Amorites (sayers) call Senir (snow mountain)—

10 all the cities of the plateau, all of Gilead (rocky region), and all of Bashan (fruitful) as far as the cities of Salecah (migration) and Edrei (good pasture) in the kingdom of Og (long-necked).

11 (For only Og (long-necked) king of Bashan (fruitful) had remained of the remnant of the Rephaim. His bed of iron, nine cubits long and four cubits wide <14 ft x 6 ft / 4.3 m x 1.8 m>, is still in Rabbah (great) of the Ammonites (tribal).)

12 So at that time we took possession of this land. To the Reubenites and Gadites (a troop / fortune) I gave the land beyond Aroer (ruins) along the Arnon (rushing stream) Valley, and half the hill country of Gilead (rocky region), along with its cities.

13 To the half-tribe of Manasseh (causing to forget) I gave the rest of Gilead (rocky region) and all of Bashan (fruitful), the kingdom of Og (long-necked). (The entire region of Argob (heap of clods), the whole territory of Bashan, used to be called the land of the Rephaim.)

14 Jair (he enlightens), a descendant of Manasseh (causing to forget), took the whole region of Argob (heap of clods) as far as the border of the Geshurites and Maacathites (she has pressed). He renamed Bashan (fruitful) after himself, Havvoth-jair (villages of Jair), by which it is called to this day.

15 To Machir (sold) I gave Gilead (rocky region),

16 and to the Reubenites and Gadites (a troop / fortune) I gave the territory from Gilead (rocky region) to the Arnon (rushing stream) Valley (the middle of the valley was the border) and up to the Jabbok (emptying) River, the border of the Ammonites (tribal).

17 The Jordan River (flowing down) in the Arabah bordered it from Chinnereth (harps) to the Sea of the Arabah (the Salt Sea (the Dead Sea) with the slopes of Pisgah (cleft) to the east.
