Deuteronomy 3

Deuteronomy 3
1¶ 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.
2And the Lord said unto me, Fear him not, for I have delivered 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, who dwelt at Heshbon.
3So the 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.
4And 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, of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
5All these cities were fenced with high walls, gates, and bars besides a great many unwalled towns.
6And we utterly destroyed them, as we did unto Sihon, king of Heshbon, utterly destroying every city, men, women, and children.
7But all the beasts and the spoil of the cities, we took for a prey to ourselves.
8And we also took at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites the land that was on this side of the Jordan, from the river of Arnon unto Mount Hermon
9(which Hermon the Sidonians call Sirion and the Amorites call it Shenir) and
10all the cities of the plain and all Gilead and all Bashan unto Salchah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
11For only Og, king of Bashan, had remained of the remnant of giants; behold, his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is it not in Rabbath of the sons 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 inherited at that time, from Aroer, which is by the river Arnon, and half of Mount Gilead and the cities thereof, I gave unto the Reubenites and to the Gadites.
13And the rest of Gilead and all Bashan (fertile ground), 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.
14Jair, the son of Manasseh, took all the country of Argob unto the border of Geshuri and Maachathi and called them after his own name, Bashanhavothjair, unto this day.
15And I gave Gilead unto Machir.
16And unto the Reubenites and unto the Gadites I gave from Gilead even unto the river Arnon, half the valley for a border even unto the river Jabbok, which is the border of the sons of Ammon,
17the plain also and the Jordan and the border thereof from Chinnereth even unto the sea of the plain, even the salt sea, under Ashdothpisgah eastward.
18And I commanded you at that time, saying, The Lord your God has given you this land to possess it; ye shall pass armed before your brethren, the sons of Israel, all that are valiant.
19Only your wives and your little ones and your livestock (for I know that ye have much livestock) shall abide in your cities which I have given you
20until the Lord has given rest unto your brethren, as well as unto you, and until they also inherit the land which the Lord your God has given them beyond the Jordan; then shall ye return each man unto his possession, which I have given you.
21¶ And I also commanded Joshua at that time, saying, Thine eyes have seen all that the Lord your God has done unto these two kings, so shall the Lord do unto all the kingdoms where thou passest.
22Ye shall not fear them, for the Lord your God, he shall fight for you.
23And I besought the Lord at that time, saying,
24O Lord GOD, thou hast begun to show thy slave 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 mighty acts?
25I pray thee, let me go over and see that good land that is beyond the Jordan, that goodly mountain and Lebanon.
26But 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.
27Climb up into the top of Pisgah and lift up thine eyes westward and towards the Aquilon and towards the Negev and eastward and behold it with thine eyes, for thou shalt not go over this Jordan.
28But charge Joshua and encourage him and comfort him, for he shall go over before this people, and he shall cause them to inherit the land which thou shalt see.
29So we abode in the valley over against Bethpeor.
