Deuteronomy Chapter 3

Deuteronomy Chapter 3
1 Then we turned, and went up by the
way of Bashan: and Og king of Bashan
came out against us, he, and all his
people to fight at Edrei.
2 And the Lord said unto me, Fear him
not, for I will deliver him, and all his
people, and his land into thine hand, and
thou shalt do unto him as thou didst unto
Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt
at Heshbon.
3 So the Lord our God delivered also
unto our hand, Og the king of Bashan,
and all his people: and we smote him,
until none was left him alive, 4 And we
took all his cities the same time, neither
was there a city which we took not from
them, even three score cities, and all the
country of Argob, the kingdom of Og in
Bashan.
5 All these cities were fenced with high
walls, gates and bars, beside unwalled
towns a great many.
6 And we overthrew them, as we did
unto Sihon king of Heshbon, destroying
every city, with men, women, and
children.
7 But all the cattle and the spoil of the
cities we took for ourselves. 8 Thus we
took at that time out of the hand of two
kings of the Amorites, the land that was
on this side Jordan from the river of
Arnon unto mount Hermon: 9 (Which
Hermon the Sidonians call Shirion, but
the Amorites call it Shenir) 10 All the
cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and
all Bashan unto Salchah, and Edrei,
cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
11 For only Og king of Bashan remained
of the remnant of the giants, whose bed
was a bed of iron: is it not at Rabbath
among the children of Ammon?
The length thereof is nine cubits, and
four cubits the breadth of it, after the
cubit of a man.
12 And this land which we possessed at
that time, from Aroer, which is by the
river of Arnon, and half mount Gilead,
and the cities thereof, gave I unto the
Reubenites and Gadites.
13 And the rest of Gilead, and all
Bashan, the kingdom of Og, gave I unto
the half tribe of Manasseh: even all the
country of Argob with all Bashan, which
is called, the land of giants.
14 Jair the son of Manasseh took all the
country of Argob, unto the coasts of
Geshuri, and of Maachathi: and called
them after his own name, Bashan,
Hauoth Jair unto this day.
15 And I gave part of Gilead unto
Machir.
16 And unto the Reubenites and Gadites
I gave the rest of Gilead, and unto the
river of Arnon, half the river and the
borders, even unto the river Jabbok,
which is the border of the children of
Ammon:
17 The plain also and Jordan, and the
borders from Chinneereth even unto the
sea of the plain, to wit, the salt sea under
the springs of Pisgah eastward. 18 And I
commanded you the same time, saying,
The Lord your God hath given you this
land to possess it: ye shall go over
armed before your brethren the children
of Israel, all men of war.
19 Your wives only, and your children,
and your cattle (for I know that ye have
much cattle) shall abide in your cities,
which I have given you, 20 Until the
Lord have given rest unto your brethren
as unto you, and that they also possess
the land, which the Lord your God hath
given them beyond Jordan: then shall ye
return every man unto his possession,
which I have given you.
21 And I charged Joshua the same time,
saying, Thine eyes have seen all that the
Lord your God hath done unto these two
kings: so shall the Lord do unto all the
kingdoms whither thou goest.
22 Ye shall not fear them: for the Lord
your God, he shall fight for you. 23 And
I besought the Lord the same time,
saying,
24 O Lord God, thou hast begun to show
thy servant thy greatness and thy mighty
hand: for where is there a God in heaven
or in earth, that can do like thy works,
and like thy power?
25 I pray thee let me go over and see the
good land that is beyond Jordan, that
goodly mountain, and Lebanon.
26 But the Lord was angry with me for
your sakes, and would not hear me: and
the Lord said unto me, Let it suffice thee,
speak no more unto me of this matter.
27 Get thee up into 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:
28 But charge Joshua, and encourage
him, and bolden him: for he shall go
before this people, and he shall divide
for inheritance unto them, the land which
thou shalt see.
29 So we abode in the valley over
against Beth-Peor.
