Deuteronomy 2:26-37
26 a“So I sent messengers from the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying, 27‘Let me pass through your land, I will ▼▼ Lit go by the way
travel only on the highway; I will not turn aside to the right or to the left. 28‘You will sell me food for money so that I may eat, and give me water for money so that I may drink, conly let me pass through on ▼▼ Lit my feet
foot, 29just as the sons of Esau who live in Seir and the Moabites who live in eAr did for me, until I cross over the Jordan into the land which the Lord our God is giving to us.’ 30“But fSihon king of Heshbon was not willing for us to pass ▼▼ Lit by him
through his land; for the hLord your God hardened his spirit and made his heart obstinate, in order to deliver him into your hand, as he is today. 31“The Lord said to me, ‘See, I have begun to deliver Sihon and his land ▼▼ Lit before you
over to you. Begin to ▼▼ Lit possess
occupy, that you may possess his land.’ 32“Then Sihon ▼▼ Lit he and
with all his people came out to meet us in battle at Jahaz. 33 l“The Lord our God delivered him ▼▼ Lit before us
over to us, and we ▼▼ Lit smote
,
odefeated him with his sons and all his people. 34“So we captured all his cities at that time and ▼▼ Or put under the ban
,
qutterly destroyed ▼▼ Lit every city of man...
the men, women and children of every city. We left no survivor. 35“We took sonly the animals as our booty and the spoil of the cities which we had captured. 36“From tAroer which is on the edge of the ▼▼ Or wadi
valley of Arnon and from the city which is in the ▼▼ Or wadi
valley, even to Gilead, there was no city that was too high for us; the Lord our God delivered all ▼▼ Lit before us
over to us. 37 x“Only you did not go near to the land of the sons of Ammon, all along the ▼▼ Or wadi
river zJabbok and the cities of the hill country, and wherever the Lord our God had commanded us. Deuteronomy 3:1-17

1 aa“Then we turned and went up the road to Bashan, and Og, king of Bashan, ▼▼ Lit he and
with all his people came out to meet us in battle at Edrei. 2“But the Lord said to me, ‘Do not fear him, for I have delivered him and all his people and his land into your hand; and you shall do to him just as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon.’ 3“So the Lord our God delivered Og also, king of Bashan, with all his people into our hand, and we smote ▼▼ Lit him
them until no survivor was ▼▼ Lit left to him
left. 4“We captured all his cities at that time; there was not a city which we did not take from them: sixty cities, all the region of aeArgob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan. 5“All these were cities fortified with high walls, gates and bars, besides a great many ▼▼ Or rural
unwalled towns. 6“We ▼▼ Or put them under the ban
utterly destroyed them, as we did to ahSihon king of Heshbon, ▼▼ Or putting under the ban
,
ajutterly destroying ▼▼ Lit every city of men...
the men, women and children of every city. 7 al“But all the animals and the spoil of the cities we took as our booty. 8 am“Thus we took the land at that time from the hand of the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, from the ▼▼ Or wadi
valley of Arnon to Mount Hermon 9(Sidonians aocall Hermon apSirion, and the Amorites call it aqSenir): 10all the cities of the plateau and all Gilead and arall Bashan, as far as Salecah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan. 11(For only Og king of Bashan was left of the remnant of the asRephaim. Behold, his ▼▼ Or couch
bedstead was an iron ▼▼ Or couch
bedstead; it is in avRabbah of the sons of Ammon. Its length was nine cubits and its width four cubits ▼▼ Lit by a man’s forearm
by ordinary cubit.) 12“So we took possession of this land at that time. From axAroer, which is by the ▼▼ Or wadi
valley of Arnon, and half the hill country of azGilead and its cities I gave to the Reubenites and to the Gadites. 13“The rest of Gilead and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I gave to the half-tribe of Manasseh, all the region of Argob (concerning all Bashan, it is called the land of Rephaim. 14 baJair the son of Manasseh took all the region of Argob as far as the border of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, and called ▼▼ Lit them
it, that is, Bashan, after his own name, ▼▼ I.e. the towns of Jair
Havvoth-jair, as it is to this day.) 15 bd“To Machir I gave Gilead. 16“To the Reubenites and to the Gadites I gave from Gilead even as far as the ▼▼ Or wadi
valley of Arnon, the middle of the ▼▼ Or wadi
valley ▼▼ Lit and
as a border and as far as the ▼▼ Or wadi
river biJabbok, the border of the sons of Ammon; 17the Arabah also, with the Jordan ▼▼ Lit and
as a border, from ▼▼ I.e. the Sea of Galilee
,
blChinnereth bmeven as far as the sea of the Arabah, bnthe Salt Sea, ▼▼ Lit under
