²And the Lord said to me: Fear him not: because he is delivered into thy hand, with all his people and his land: and thou shalt do to him as thou hast done to Sehon king of the Amorrhites, that dwelt in Hesebon.

³So the Lord our God delivered into our hands, Og also, the king of Basan, and all his people: and we utterly destroyed them,

⁴Wasting all his cities at one time, there was not a town that escaped us: sixty cities, all the country of Argob the kingdom of Og in Basan.

⁵All the cities were fenced with very high walls, and with gates and bars, besides innumerable towns that had no walls.

⁶And we utterly destroyed them, as we had done to Sehon the king of Hesebon, destroying every city, men and women and children:

⁷But the cattle and the spoils of the cities we took for our prey.

⁸And we took at that time the land out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorrhites, that were beyond the Jordan: from the torrent Arnon unto the mount Hermon,

⁹Which the Sidonians call Sarion, and the Amorrhites Sanir:

¹⁰All the cities that are situate in the plain, and all the land of Galaad and Basan as far as Selcha and Edrai, cities of the kingdom of Og in Basan.

¹¹For only Og king of Basan remained of the race of the giants. His bed of iron is shewn, which is in Rabbath of the children of Ammon, being nine cubits long, and four broad after the measure of the cubit of a man’s hand.

¹²And we possessed the land at that time from Aroer, which is upon the bank of the torrent Arnon, unto the half of mount Galaad: and I gave the cities thereof to Ruben and Gad.

¹³And I delivered the other part of Galaad, and all Basan the kingdom of Og to the half tribe of Manasses, all the country of Argob: and all Basan is called the Land of giants.
