* And we turned , and went up the way to Bashan ; and Og the king of Bashan came out against us , he and all his people , for battle at Edrei . * And Jehovah said to me , Fear him not ; for into thy hand have I given him , and all his people , and his land ; and thou shalt do unto him as thou didst unto Sihon the king of the Amorites , who dwelt at Heshbon . * And Jehovah our God gave into our hand Og the king of Bashan also , 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 town which we took not from them , sixty cities , the whole region of Argob , the kingdom of Og in Bashan . * All these cities were fortified with high walls , gates , and bars ; besides unwalled towns very many . * And we utterly destroyed them , as we had done to Sihon the king of Heshbon , utterly destroying every city , men , women and little ones . * But all the cattle and the spoil of the cities we took as booty for ourselves . * And we took at that time the land out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites , that were on this side the Jordan , from the river Arnon to mount Hermon * (the Sidonians call Hermon Sirion , and the Amorites call it Senir ): * all the cities of the plateau , and all Gilead , and all Bashan , as far as Salchah and Edrei , the cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan . * For only Og the king of Bashan remained of the residue of giants : behold , his bedstead was a bedstead of iron ; is it not in Rabbah of the children of Ammon ? its length was nine cubits , and its breadth four cubits , after the cubit of a man . * And this land we took in possession at that time . From Aroer , which is by the river Arnon , and the half of mount Gilead , and its cities , I gave to the Reubenites and to the Gadites ; * and the rest of Gilead , and all Bashan , the kingdom of Og , I gave to half the tribe of Manasseh . (The whole region of Argob , even all Bashan , is called a land of giants . * Jair the son of Manasseh took the whole region of Argob as far as the border of the Geshurites and Maachathites , and called Bashan after his own name , Havoth-Jair , to this day .) * And I gave Gilead to Machir . * And to the Reubenites and to the Gadites I gave from Gilead even to the river Arnon , the middle of the ravine and its border , as far as the river Jabbok , the border of the children of Ammon ; * the plain also , and the Jordan , and [its ] border from Chinnereth as far as the sea of the plain , the salt sea , under the slopes of Pisgah eastward . * And I commanded you at that time , saying , Jehovah your God hath given you this land to take possession of it : ye shall pass over armed before your brethren the children of Israel , all [who are ] combatants . * Only 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 Jehovah give rest to your brethren , as well as to you , and they also take possession of the land that Jehovah your God giveth them beyond the Jordan ; then shall ye return , each man to his possession , which I have given you . * And I commanded Joshua at that time , saying , Thine eyes have seen all that Jehovah your God hath done to these two kings : so will Jehovah do to all the kingdoms to which thou shalt go . * Ye shall not fear them ; for Jehovah your God , he will fight for you . * And I besought Jehovah at that time , saying , * Lord Jehovah , thou hast begun to shew thy servant thy greatness , and thy powerful hand ; for what �God is in the heavens or in the earth that can do like to thy works , and like to thy might ? * Let me go over , I pray thee , and see the good land that is beyond the Jordan , that goodly mountain , and Lebanon . * But Jehovah was wroth with me on your account , and did not hear me ; and Jehovah said to me , Let it suffice thee ; speak no more unto me of this matter ! * Go up to 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 . * But charge Joshua , and encourage him and strengthen him ; for he shall go over before this people , and he shall put them in possession of the land which thou shalt see . * And we abode in the valley opposite to Beth-Peor .
