Deuteronomy 3

The Defeat of Og

1Then we turned and went up the road to Bashan, and Og king of Bashan and his whole army came out to meet us in battle at Edrei.

1And we turned and went up the road to Bashan, and Og king of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei.

2But the LORD said to me, “Do not fear him, for I have delivered him into your hand, along with all his people and his land. Do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon.”

2And YHWH said to me, “Do not fear him, for into your hand I have delivered him and all his people and his land, and you shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorite, who dwelt in Heshbon.”

3So the LORD our God also delivered Og king of Bashan and his whole army into our hands. We struck them down until no survivor was left.

3And YHWH our God delivered into our hands also Og king of Bashan, and all his people. And we struck him until he had no remaining survivors.

4At that time we captured all sixty of his cities. There was not a single city we failed to take—the entire region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.

4And we took all his cities at that time. There was not a city that we did not take from them—sixty cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.

5All these cities were fortified with high walls and gates and bars, and there were many more unwalled villages.

5All these cities were fortified with high walls, gates, and bars, besides very many unwalled villages.

6We devoted them to destruction, as we had done to Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, women, and children of every city.

6And we devoted them to destruction as we did to Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying every city, the men, the women, and the children.

7But all the livestock and plunder of the cities we carried off for ourselves.

7And all the livestock and the spoil of the cities we plundered for ourselves.

8At that time we took from the two kings of the Amorites the land across the Jordan, from the Arnon Valley as far as Mount Hermon—

8And at that time we took the land from the hand of the two kings of the Amorite, who were on this side of the Jordan, from the River Arnon to Mount Hermon—

9which the Sidonians call Sirion but the Amorites call Senir—

9the Sidonians call Hermon Sirion and the Amorite call it Senir—

10all the cities of the plateau, all of Gilead, and all of Bashan as far as the cities of Salecah and Edrei in the kingdom of Og.

10all the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, as far as Salcah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.

11(For only Og king of Bashan had remained of the remnant of the Rephaim. His bed of iron, nine cubits long and four cubits wide, is still in Rabbah of the Ammonites.)

11(For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of the Rephaim; behold, his bed was an iron bed. Is it not in Rabbah of the sons of Ammon? Nine cubits is its length and four cubits its width by the standard cubit.)

Land Division East of the Jordan

12So at that time we took possession of this land. To the Reubenites and Gadites I gave the land beyond Aroer along the Arnon Valley, and half the hill country of Gilead, along with its cities.

12And this land we possessed at that time, from Aroer, which is by the River Arnon, and half the mountains of Gilead; and its cities I gave to the Reubenite and the Gadite.

13To the half-tribe of Manasseh I gave the rest of Gilead and all of Bashan, the kingdom of Og. (The entire region of Argob, the whole territory of Bashan, used to be called the land of the Rephaim.)

13And the rest of Gilead and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I gave to the half-tribe of Manasseh. (All the region of Argob with all Bashan was called the land of the Rephaim.)

14Jair, a descendant of Manasseh, took the whole region of Argob as far as the border of the Geshurites and Maacathites. He renamed Bashan after himself, Havvoth-jair, by which it is called to this day.

14Jair, son of Manasseh, took all the region of Argob as far as the border of the Geshurite and the Maachathite, and called them after his own name, Bashan Havvoth-jair, to this day.

15To Machir I gave Gilead,

15And to Machir I gave Gilead.

16and to the Reubenites and Gadites I gave the territory from Gilead to the Arnon Valley (the middle of the valley was the border) and up to the Jabbok River, the border of the Ammonites.

16And to the Reubenite and the Gadite I gave from Gilead and as far as the River Arnon, the middle of the valley and the border, and to the Jabbok River, the border of the sons of Ammon,

17The Jordan River in the Arabah bordered it from Chinnereth to the Sea of the Arabah (the Salt Sea) with the slopes of Pisgah to the east.

17and the plain, and the Jordan, and the border from Chinnereth, and as far as the Sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, below the slopes of Pisgah to the east.

18At that time I commanded you: “The LORD your God has given you this land to possess. All your men of valor are to cross over, armed for battle, ahead of your brothers, the Israelites.

18And I commanded you at that time, saying, “YHWH your God has given to you this land to possess. You shall pass over armed before your brothers the sons of Israel, all the sons of valor.

19But your wives, your children, and your livestock—I know that you have much livestock—may remain in the cities I have given you,

19But your wives and your little ones and your livestock—I know that you have much livestock—shall stay in your cities that I have given you,

20until the LORD gives rest to your brothers as He has to you, and they too have taken possession of the land that the LORD your God is giving them across the Jordan. Then each of you may return to the possession I have given you.”

20until that YHWH has given rest to your brothers as to you, and they also possess the land that YHWH your God is giving them beyond the Jordan. And you will return, every man to his inheritance that I have given to you.”

21And at that time I commanded Joshua: “Your own eyes have seen all that the LORD your God has done to these two kings. The LORD will do the same to all the kingdoms you are about to enter.

21And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, “Your eyes have seen all that YHWH your God has done to these two kings. Thus YHWH will do to all the kingdoms through which you pass.

22Do not be afraid of them, for the LORD your God Himself will fight for you.”

22Do not fear them, for YHWH your God Himself fights for you.”

Moses Forbidden to Cross the Jordan

23At that time I also pleaded with the LORD:

23And I pleaded with YHWH at that time, saying,

24“O Lord GOD, You have begun to show Your greatness and power to Your servant. For what god in heaven or on earth can perform such works and mighty acts as Yours?

24“O Lord YHWH, You have begun to show Your servant Your greatness and Your mighty hand. For what god is in the heavens or on the earth who does works as Your works and as Your mighty deeds?

25Please let me cross over and see the good land beyond the Jordan—that pleasant hill country as well as Lebanon!”

25Let me pass over, please, and see the good land that is beyond the Jordan, this pleasant hill country, and Lebanon.”

26But the LORD was angry with me on account of you, and He would not listen to me. “That is enough,” the LORD said to me. “Do not speak to Me again about this matter.

26And YHWH was angry with me on your account, and He would not listen to me. And YHWH said to me, “Enough of it. Do not add to speak to Me anymore of this matter.

27Go to the top of Pisgah and look to the west and north and south and east. See the land with your own eyes, for you will not cross this Jordan.

27Go up to the top of Pisgah and lift up your eyes toward the west, and the north, and the south, and the east, and look with your eyes. For you shall not pass over this Jordan.

28But commission Joshua, encourage him, and strengthen him, for he will cross over ahead of the people and enable them to inherit the land that you will see.”

28And command Joshua and encourage him and strengthen him, for he shall go over before this people, and he shall cause them to inherit the land that you will see.”

29So we stayed in the valley opposite Beth-peor.

29And we stayed in the valley opposite Beth-peor.
