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.
02 And the Lord said unto me, Fear him not:
for I will deliver him, and all his people, and
his land, into thy hand; and thou shalt do unto
him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the
Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.
03 So the Lord our God delivered into our
hands Og also, the king of Bashan, and all his
people: and we smote him until none was left to
him remaining.
04 And we took all his cities at that time,
there was not a city which we took not from them,
threescore cities, all the region of Argob, the
kingdom of Og in Bashan.
05 All these cities were fenced with high
walls, gates, and bars; beside unwalled towns a
great many.
06 And we utterly destroyed them, as we did
unto Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying
the men, women, and children, of every city.
07 But all the cattle, and the spoil of the
cities, we took for a prey to ourselves.
08 And we took at that time out of the hand
of the two kings of the Amorites the land that
was on this side Jordan, from the river of Arnon
unto mount Hermon;
09 (Which Hermon the Sidonians call Sirion;
and 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 giants; behold his bedstead was a
bedstead of iron; is it not in Rabbath of the
children of Ammon? nine cubits was the length
thereof, 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
Arnon, and half mount Gilead, and the cities
thereof, gave I unto the Reubenites and to the
Gadites.
13 And the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan,
being the kingdom of Og, gave I unto the half
tribe of Manasseh; all the region of Argob, with
all Bashan, which was called the land of giants.
14 Jair the son of Manasseh took all the
country of Argob unto the coasts of Geshuri and
Maachathi; and called them after his own name,
Bashanhavothjair, unto this day.
15 And I gave Gilead unto Machir.

16 And unto the Reubenites
and unto the Gadites I gave from Gilead even unto
the river Arnon half the valley, and the border
even unto the river Jabbok, which is the border
of the children of Ammon;
17 The plain also, and Jordan, and the
coast thereof, from Chinnereth even unto the sea
of the plain, even the salt sea, under
Ashdothpisgah eastward.
18 And I commanded you at that time,
saying, The Lord your God hath given you this
land to possess it: ye shall pass over armed
before your brethren the children of Israel, all
that are meet for the war.
19 But your wives, and your little ones,
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 well as unto you, and until they
also possess the land which the Lord your God
hath given them beyond Jordan: and then shall ye
return every man unto his possession, which I
have given you.
21 And I commanded Joshua at that 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
passest.
22 Ye shall not fear them: for the Lord
your God he shall fight for you.
23 And I besought the Lord at that time,
saying,
24 O Lord God, thou hast begun to shew thy
servant thy greatness, and thy mighty hand: for
what God is there in heaven or in earth, that can
do according to thy works, and according to thy
might?
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 wroth 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 strengthen him: for he shall go over before
this people, and he shall cause them to inherit
the land which thou shalt see.
29 So we abode in the valley over against
Bethpeor.
