Deuteronomy:3
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 .
*
And LORD said to me ,
Fear him not ,
for I have delivered him ,
and all his people ,
and his land ,
into thy hand .
And thou shall do to him as thou did to Sihon king of the Amorites ,
who dwelt at Heshbon .
*
So LORD our God delivered into our hand Og also ,
the king of Bashan ,
and all his people ,
and we smote him until none was left to him remaining .
*
And we took all his cities at that time .
There was not a city which we did not take from them ,
sixty cities ,
all the region of Argob ,
the kingdom of Og in Bashan .
*
All these were cities fortified with high walls ,
gates ,
and bars ;
besides the un-walled towns a great many .
*
And we utterly destroyed them ,
as we did to Sihon king of Heshbon ,
utterly destroying every inhabited city ,
with the women and the little ones .
*
But all the cattle ,
and the spoil of the cities ,
we took for a prey to ourselves .
*
And 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
* (
the Sidonians call Hermon ,
Sirion ,
and the Amorites call it Senir ),
*
all the cities of the plain ,
and all Gilead ,
and all Bashan ,
to Salecah and Edrei ,
cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan .
* (
For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of the Rephaim .
Behold ,
his bedstead was a bedstead of iron .
Is it not in Rabbah of the sons of Ammon ?
Nine cubits was the length of it ,
and four cubits the breadth of it ,
after t
*
And we took this land in possession at that time .
From Aroer ,
which is by the valley of the Arnon ,
and half the hill-country of Gilead ,
and the cities of it ,
I gave to the Reubenites and to the Gadites .
*
And the rest of Gilead ,
and all Bashan ,
the kingdom of Og ,
I gave to the half-tribe of Manasseh ,
all the region of Argob ,
even all Bashan .
The same is called the land of Rephaim .
* (
Jair the son of Manasseh took all the region of Argob ,
to the border of the Geshurites and the Maacathites ,
and called them ,
even Bashan ,
after his own name ,
Havvoth-jair ,
to this day .)
*
And I gave Gilead to Machir .
*
And I gave to the Reubenites and to the Gadites from Gilead even to the valley of the Arnon ,
the middle of the valley ,
and the border [
of it ],
even to the river Jabbok ,
which is the border of the sons of Ammon ,
*
also the Arabah ,
and the Jordan and the border [
of it ],
from Chinnereth even to the sea of the Arabah ,
the Salt Sea ,
under the slopes of Pisgah eastward .
*
And I commanded you at that time ,
saying ,
LORD your God has given you this land to possess it .
Ye shall pass over armed before your brothers the sons of Israel ,
all the men of valor .
*
But your wives ,
and your little ones ,
and your cattle , (
I know that ye have much cattle ,)
shall abide in your cities which I have given you
*
until LORD gives rest to your brothers ,
as to you ,
and they also possess the land which LORD your God gives them beyond the Jordan ,
then ye shall return every man to his possession ,
which I have given you .
*
And I commanded Joshua at that time ,
saying ,
Thine eyes have seen all that LORD your God has done to these two kings .
So shall LORD do to all the kingdoms where thou go over .
*
Ye shall not fear them ,
for LORD your God ,
he it is who fights for you .
*
And I besought LORD at that time ,
saying ,
*
O lord LORD ,
thou have begun to show thy servant thy greatness ,
and thy strong hand ,
for what god is there in heaven or in earth ,
that can do according to thy works ,
and according to thy mighty acts ?
*
Let me go over ,
I pray thee ,
and see the good land that is beyond the Jordan ,
that goodly mountain ,
and Lebanon .
*
But LORD was angry with me because of you ,
and did not hearken to me .
And LORD said to me ,
It shall be enough for thee .
Speak no more to me of this matter .
*
Get thee up to the top of Pisgah ,
and lift up thine eyes westward ,
and northward ,
and southward ,
and eastward ,
and behold with thine eyes ,
for thou shall not go over this Jordan .
*
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 shall see .
*
So we abode in the valley opposite Beth-peor .
