Deuteronomy 3
- 1
- Then we turned, and went up the way to Bashan: and Og
the king of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at
Edrei.
- 2
- And the LORD said unto me, Fear him not: for I will
deliver him, and all his people, and his land, into thy hand; and thou shalt
do unto him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at
Heshbon.
- 3
- So the LORD our God delivered into our hands Og also,
the king of Bashan, and all his people: and we smote him until none was left
to him remaining.
- 4
- And we took all his cities at that time, there was not a
city which we took not from them, threescore cities, all the region of Argob,
the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
- 5
- All these cities were fenced with high walls, gates, and
bars; beside unwalled towns a great many.
- 6
- And we utterly destroyed them, as we did unto Sihon king
of Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, women, and children, of every city.
- 7
- But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, we took
for a prey to ourselves.
- 8
- And we took at that time out of the hand of the two
kings of the Amorites the land that was on this side Jordan, from the river of
Arnon unto mount Hermon;
- 9
- (Which Hermon the Sidonians call Sirion; and the
Amorites call it Shenir;)
- 10
- All the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all
Bashan, unto Salchah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
- 11
- For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of
giants; behold his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is it not in Rabbath of
the children of Ammon? nine cubits was the length thereof, and four cubits the
breadth of it, after the cubit of a man.
- 12
- And this land, which we possessed at that time, from
Aroer, which is by the river Arnon, and half mount Gilead, and the cities
thereof, gave I unto the Reubenites and to the Gadites.
- 13
- And the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, being the
kingdom of Og, gave I unto the half tribe of Manasseh; all the region of Argob,
with all Bashan, which was called the land of giants.
- 14
- Jair the son of Manasseh took all the country of Argob
unto the coasts of Geshuri and Maachathi; and called them after his own name,
Bashanhavothjair, unto this day.
- 15
- And I gave Gilead unto Machir.
- 16
- And unto the Reubenites and unto the Gadites I gave from
Gilead even unto the river Arnon half the valley, and the border even unto the
river Jabbok, which is the border of the children of Ammon;
- 17
- The plain also, and Jordan, and the coast thereof, from
Chinnereth even unto the sea of the plain, even the salt sea, under
Ashdothpisgah eastward.
- 18
- And I commanded you at that time, saying, The LORD your
God hath given you this land to possess it: ye shall pass over armed before
your brethren the children of Israel, all that are meet for the war.
- 19
- But your wives, and your little ones, and your cattle,
(for I know that ye have much cattle,) shall abide in your cities which I have
given you;
- 20
- Until the LORD have given rest unto your brethren, as
well as unto you, and until they also possess the land which the LORD your God
hath given them beyond Jordan: and then shall ye return every man unto his
possession, which I have given you.
- 21
- And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, Thine eyes
have seen all that the LORD your God hath done unto these two kings: so shall
the LORD do unto all the kingdoms whither thou passest.
- 22
- Ye shall not fear them: for the LORD your God he shall
fight for you.
- 23
- And I besought the LORD at that time, saying,
- 24
- O Lord GOD, thou hast begun to shew thy servant thy
greatness, and thy mighty hand: for what God is there in heaven or in earth,
that can do according to thy works, and according to thy might?
- 25
- I pray thee, let me go over, and see the good land that
is beyond Jordan, that goodly mountain, and Lebanon.
- 26
- But the LORD was wroth with me for your sakes, and would
not hear me: and the LORD said unto me, Let it suffice thee; speak no more
unto me of this matter.
- 27
- Get thee up into the top of Pisgah, and lift up thine
eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and behold it with
thine eyes: for thou shalt not go over this Jordan.
- 28
- But charge Joshua, and encourage him, and strengthen
him: for he shall go over before this people, and he shall cause them to
inherit the land which thou shalt see.
- 29
- So we abode in the valley over against Bethpeor.
