‏ Deuteronomy 2:26-37

26aSo 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 on the road, on the road
travel only on the road. I will not turn aside to the right or to the left.
28You 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

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 that the Lord our God is giving us.’ 30But 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 hand him over to you, as he is today.
31And the Lord said to me, ‘See, I have begun to turn Sihon and his land over
Lit before you
to you. Begin taking possession, so that you may possess his land.’

32 “Then Sihon came out
Lit he and
with all his people to meet us in battle at Jahaz.
33And kthe Lord our God turned him over
Lit before us
to us, and we
Lit struck
ndefeated him with his sons and all his people.
34So we captured all his cities at that time and
Or put under the ban
putterly destroyed
Lit every city of men...
the men, women, and children of every city. We left no survivor.
35We took ronly the animals as our plunder, and the spoils of the cities which we had captured. 36From sAroer 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
Or strong
high for us; the Lord our God turned it all over
Lit before us
to us.
37 xOnly you did not go near 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 to avoid.

1aaThen we turned and went up the road to Bashan, and Og, king of Bashan, came out
Lit he and
with all his people to meet us in battle at Edrei.
2But the Lord said to me, ‘Do not fear him, for I have handed him and all his people and his land over to you; and you shall do to him just as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon.’ 3So the Lord our God also handed over to us Og, king of Bashan, with all his people, and we struck
Lit him
them until no survivor was
Lit left to him
left.
4We 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. 5All these were cities fortified with high walls, gates, and bars, besides a great many
Or rural
unwalled towns.
6We
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 alBut all the animals and the spoils of the cities we took as our plunder.

8amSo at that time we took the land 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, 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
bed was a
Or couch
bed of iron; it is in avRabbah of the sons of Ammon. Its length was nine cubits, and its width four cubits by
Lit by a man’s forearm; about 14 ft. long and 6 ft. wide or 4 m and 1.8 m
the usual 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.
13The rest of Gilead and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I gave to the half-tribe of Manasseh, all the region of Argob. (As to 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, that is, Bashan, and named
Lit them
it after his own name:
I.e., the towns of Jair
Havvoth-jair, as it is to this day.)
15 bdTo Machir I gave Gilead. 16To the Reubenites and 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
