King Og Defeated

3 “Then we turned and went up the road to Bashan; and aOg king of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, to battle bat Edrei. 2 And the Lord said to me, ‘Do not fear him, for I have delivered him and all his people and his land into your hand; you shall do to him as you did to cSihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon.’

3 “So the Lord our God also delivered into our hands Og king of Bashan, with all his people, and we 1attacked him until he had no survivors remaining. 4 And we took all his cities at that time; there was not a city which we did not take from them: sixty cities, dall the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan. 5 All these cities were fortified with high walls, gates, and bars, besides a great many rural towns. 6 And we utterly destroyed them, as we did to Sihon king eof Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, women, and children of every city. 7 But all the livestock and the spoil of the cities we took as booty for ourselves.

8 “And at that time we took the fland from the hand of the two kings of the Amorites who were on this side of the Jordan, from the River Arnon to Mount gHermon 9 (the Sidonians call hHermon Sirion, and the Amorites call it Senir), 10 iall the cities of the plain, all Gilead, and jall Bashan, as far as Salcah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.

11 k“For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of lthe 2giants. Indeed his bedstead was an iron bedstead. (Is it not in mRabbah of the people of Ammon?) Nine cubits is its length and four cubits its width, according to the standard cubit.

The Land East of the Jordan Divided

12 “And this nland, which we possessed at that time, ofrom Aroer, which is by the River Arnon, and half the mountains of Gilead and pits cities, I gave to the Reubenites and the Gadites. 13 qThe rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I gave to half the tribe of Manasseh. (All the region of Argob, with all Bashan, was called the land of the 3giants. 14 rJair the son of Manasseh took all the region of Argob, sas far as the border of the Geshurites and the Maachathites, and tcalled Bashan after his own name, 4Havoth Jair, to this day.)

15 “Also I gave uGilead to Machir. 16 And to the Reubenites vand the Gadites I gave from Gilead as far as the River Arnon, the middle of the river as the border, as far as the River Jabbok, wthe border of the people of Ammon; 17 the plain also, with the Jordan as the border, from Chinnereth xas far as the east side of the Sea of the Arabah y(the Salt Sea), below the slopes of Pisgah.

18 “Then I commanded you at that time, saying: ‘The Lord your God has given you this land to possess. zAll you men of valor shall cross over armed before your brethren, the children of Israel. 19 But your wives, your little ones, and your livestock (I know that you have much livestock) shall stay in your cities which I have given you, 20 until the Lord has given arest to your brethren as to you, and they also possess the land which the Lord your God is giving them beyond the Jordan. Then each of you may breturn to his possession which I have given you.’

21 “And cI commanded Joshua at that time, saying, ‘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 through which you pass. 22 You must not fear them, for dthe Lord your God Himself fights for you.’

Moses Forbidden to Enter the Land

23 “Then eI pleaded with the Lord at that time, saying: 24 ‘O Lord God, You have begun to show Your servant fYour greatness and Your 5mighty hand, for gwhat god is there in heaven or on earth who can do anything like Your works and Your mighty deeds? 25 I pray, let me cross over and see hthe good land beyond the Jordan, those pleasant mountains, and Lebanon.’

26 “But the Lord iwas angry with me on your account, and would not listen to me. So the Lord said to me: ‘Enough of that! Speak no more to Me of this matter. 27 jGo up to the top of Pisgah, and lift your eyes toward the west, the north, the south, and the east; behold it with your eyes, for you shall not cross over this Jordan. 28 But kcommand 6Joshua, and encourage him and strengthen him; for he shall go over before this people, and he shall cause them to inherit the land which you will see.’

29 “So we stayed in lthe valley opposite Beth Peor.
