Deuteronomy 3

The Defeat of King Og

1“Then we turned and went up the way to Bashan. And bOg the king of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at cEdrei. 2But the Lord said to me, ‘Do not fear him, for I have given him and all his people and his land into your hand. And you shall do to him as you did to dSihon the king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon.’ 3So the Lord our God gave into our hand Og also, the king of Bashan, and all his people, eand we struck him down until he had no survivor left. 4And we took all his cities at that time—there was not a city that we did not take from them—sixty cities, fthe whole region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan. 5All these were cities fortified with high walls, gates, and bars, besides very many unwalled villages. 6And gwe devoted them to destruction,
That is, set apart ( devoted) as an offering to the Lord (for destruction); twice in this verse
as we did to Sihon the king of Heshbon, devoting to destruction every icity, men, women, and children.
7But all the livestock and the spoil of the cities we took as our plunder. 8So we took the land at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, from the Valley of the Arnon to Mount Hermon 9(the Sidonians call jHermon kSirion, while the Amorites call it lSenir), 10all the cities of the mtableland and all Gilead and all Bashan, as far as nSalecah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan. 11(For oonly Og the king of Bashan was left of the remnant of pthe Rephaim. Behold, his bed was a bed of iron. Is it not in qRabbah of the Ammonites? Nine cubits
A  cubit was about 18 inches or 45 centimeters
was its length, and four cubits its breadth, according to the scommon cubit.

12“When we took possession of this land at that time, I gave to the Reubenites and the Gadites the territory beginning uat Aroer, which is on the edge of the Valley of the Arnon, and half the hill country of Gilead with vits cities. 13 wThe rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, that is, xall the region of Argob, I gave to the half-tribe of Manasseh. (All that portion of Bashan is called the land of yRephaim. 14 zJair the Manassite took all the region of Argob, that is, Bashan, as far as the border of aathe Geshurites and the Maacathites, and called the villages abafter his own name, Havvoth-jair, as it is to this day.) 15To Machir acI gave Gilead, 16and to the Reubenites adand the Gadites I gave the territory from Gilead as far as the Valley of the Arnon, with the middle of the valley as a border, as far over as the river Jabbok, aethe border of the Ammonites; 17the Arabah also, with the Jordan as the border, from afChinnereth as far as agthe Sea of the Arabah, ahthe Salt Sea, under aithe slopes of Pisgah on the east.

18“And I commanded you at that time, saying, ‘The Lord your God has given you this land to possess. ajAll your men of valor shall cross over armed before your brothers, the people of Israel. 19Only your wives, your little ones, and your livestock ak(I know that you have much livestock) shall remain in the cities that I have given you, 20 aluntil the Lord gives rest to your brothers, as to you, and they also occupy the land that the Lord your God gives them beyond the Jordan. Then each of you may return to his possession which I have given you.’ 21And I commanded amJoshua at that time, ‘Your eyes have seen all that the Lord your God has done to these two kings. So will the Lord do to all the kingdoms into which you are crossing. 22You shall not fear them, for it is anthe Lord your God who fights for you.’

Moses Forbidden to Enter the Land

23“And I pleaded with the Lord at that time, saying, 24‘O Lord God, you have only begun to show your servant aoyour greatness and your mighty hand. For apwhat god is there in heaven or on earth who can do such works and mighty acts as yours? 25Please let me go over and see aqthe good land beyond the Jordan, that good hill country and arLebanon.’ 26But asthe Lord was angry with me because of you and would not listen to me. And the Lord said to me, at‘Enough from you; do not speak to me of this matter again. 27 auGo up to the top of Pisgah and lift up your eyes westward and northward and southward and eastward, and look at it with your eyes, for you shall not go over this Jordan. 28But avcharge Joshua, and encourage and strengthen him, for he shall go over at the head of this people, and he shall put them in possession of the land that you shall see.’ 29So we remained in awthe valley opposite Beth-peor.
