Deuteronomy 3:1–13

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. ²And 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. ⁴And 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. ⁵All these cities were fortified with high walls, gates, and bars, besides a great many rural towns. ⁶And we utterly destroyed them, as we did to Sihon king ^eof Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, women, and children of every city. ⁷But 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), ¹⁰ⁱall the cities of the plain, all Gilead, and ^jall Bashan, as far as Salcah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.

^11k“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. ^13qThe 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.
