Dual Panel1Next we set out on <05927> <06437> the route <01870> to Bashan <01316>, but King <04428> Og <05747> of Bashan <01316> and his <01931> whole <03605> army <05971> came out <03318> to meet <07125> us in battle <04421> at Edrei <0154>.
2The Lord <03068>, however, said <0559> to <0413> me, “Don’t <0408> be afraid <03372> of him because <03588> I have already given <05414> him, his whole <03605> army <05971>, and his land <0776> to you. You will do <06213> to him exactly what <0834> you did <06213> to King <04428> Sihon <05511> of the Amorites <0567> who <0834> lived <03427> in Heshbon <02809>.”
3So the Lord <03068> our God <0430> did indeed <01571> give over <03027> <05414> to us King <04428> Og <05747> of Bashan <01316> and his whole <03605> army <05971> and we struck <05221> them down <05221> until <05704> not <01115> a single survivor <08300> was left <07604>.
4We captured <03920> all <03605> his cities <05892> at that time <06256>– there was <01961> not <03808> a town <07151> we did not <03808> take <03947> from them– sixty <08346> cities <05892>, all <03605> the region <02256> of Argob <0709>, the dominion <04467> of Og <05747> in Bashan <01316>.
5All <03605> of these <0428> cities <05892> were fortified <01219> by high <01364> walls <02346>, gates <01817>, and locking bars <01280>; in addition <0905> there were a great <03966> many <07235> open villages <06521> <05892>.
6We put <02763> all of these under divine judgment <02763> just as we had done <06213> to King <04428> Sihon <05511> of Heshbon <02809>– every <03605> occupied <04962> city <05892>, including women <0802> and children <02945>.
7But all <03605> the livestock <0929> and plunder <07998> from the cities <05892> we kept <0962> for ourselves.
8So at that time <06256> we took <03947> the land <0776> of the two <08147> Amorite <0567> kings <04428> in the Transjordan <03383> <05676> from Wadi <05158> Arnon <0769> to Mount <02022> Hermon <02768>
9(the Sidonians <06722> call <07121> Hermon <02768> Sirion <08303> and the Amorites <0567> call <07121> it Senir <08149>),
10all <03605> the cities <05892> of the plateau <04334>, all <03605> of Gilead <01568> and Bashan <01316> as far <05704> as Salecah <05548> and Edrei <0154>, cities <05892> of the kingdom <04467> of Og <05747> in Bashan <01316>.
11Only <07535> King <04428> Og <05747> of Bashan <01316> was left <07604> of the remaining <03499> Rephaites <07497>. (It is noteworthy <02009> that his sarcophagus <06210> was made of iron <01270>. Does it <01931> not <03808>, indeed, still remain in Rabbath <07237> of the Ammonites <05983> <01121>? It is thirteen and a half feet <0520> <08672> long <0753> and six feet <0520> <0702> wide <07341> according to standard measure <0376> <0520>.)
12This <02063> is the land <0776> we brought under our control <03423> at that <01931> time <06256>: The territory extending from Aroer <06177> by <05921> the Wadi <05158> Arnon <0769> and half <02677> the Gilead <01568> hill country <02022> with its cities <05892> I gave <05414> to the Reubenites <07206> and Gadites <01425>.
13The rest <03499> of Gilead <01568> and all <03605> of Bashan <01316>, the kingdom <04467> of Og <05747>, I gave <05414> to half <02677> the tribe <07626> of Manasseh <04519>. (All <03605> the region <02256> of Argob <0709>, that is, all <03605> Bashan <01316>, is called <07121> the land <0776> of Rephaim <07497>.
14Jair <02971>, son <01121> of Manasseh <04519>, took <03947> all <03605> the Argob <0709> region <02256> as far as <05704> the border <01366> with the Geshurites <01651> and Maacathites <04602> (namely Bashan <01316>) and called <07121> it by <05921> his name <08034>, Havvoth-Jair <02334>, which it retains <05704> to this <02088> very day <03117>.)
15I gave <05414> Gilead <01568> to Machir <04353>.
16To the Reubenites <07206> and Gadites <01425> I allocated <05414> the territory extending from <04480> Gilead <01568> as far <05704> as Wadi <05158> Arnon <0769> (the exact middle <08432> of the wadi <05158> was a boundary <01366>) all the way to <05704> the Wadi <05158> Jabbok <02999>, the Ammonite <05983> <01121> border <01366>.
17The Arabah <06160> and the Jordan River <03383> were also a border <01366>, from the sea of Chinnereth <03672> to <05704> the sea <03220> of the Arabah <06160> (that is, the Salt <04417> Sea <03220>), beneath <08478> the watershed <0794> of Pisgah <06449> to the east <04217>.
18At that time <06256> I instructed <06680> you as follows: “The Lord <03068> your God <0430> has given <05414> you this <02063> land <0776> for your possession <03423>. You warriors <02502> are to cross <05674> over before <06440> your fellow <0251> Israelites <01121> <03478> <01121> equipped for battle <02428>.
19But <07535> your wives <0802>, children <02945>, and livestock <04735> (of which <03588> I know <03045> you have many <07227>) may remain <03427> in the cities <05892> I have given <05414> you.
20You must fight until <05704> the Lord <03068> gives <05117> your countrymen <0251> victory <05117> as he did you and <01571> they <01992> take possession <03423> of the land <0776> that <0834> the Lord <03068> your God <0430> is giving <05414> them <01992> on the other side <05676> of the Jordan River <03383>. Then each <0376> of you may return <07725> to his own territory <03425> that <0834> I have given <05414> you.”
21I also commanded <06680> Joshua <03091> at the same <01931> time <06256>, “You have seen <07200> everything <03605> the Lord <03068> your God <0430> did <06213> to these <0428> two <08147> kings <04428>; he will do <06213> the same <03651> to all <03605> the kingdoms <04467> where <08033> <0834> you <0859> are going <05674>.
22Do not <03808> be afraid <03372> of them, for <03588> the Lord <03068> your God <0430> will personally <01931> fight <03898> for you.”
23Moreover, at that time <06256> I <01931> pleaded <02603> with <0413> the Lord <03068>,
24“O, Lord <0136> God <03069>, you <0859> have begun <02490> to show <07200> me <05650> your greatness <01433> and strength <02389>. (What <04310> god <0410> in heaven <08064> or earth <0776> can rival <06213> your works <04639> and mighty deeds <01369>?)
25Let me please <04994> cross over <05674> to see <07200> the good <02896> land <0776> on the other side <05676> of the Jordan River <03383>– this <02088> good <02896> hill country <02022> and the Lebanon <03844>!”
26But the Lord <03068> was angry <05674> at me because of <04616> you and would not <03808> listen <08085> to <0413> me. Instead, he <03068> said <0559> to <0413> me, “Enough <07227> of that! Do not <0408> speak <01696> to <0413> me anymore <05750> <03254> about this <02088> matter <01697>.
27Go up <05927> to the top <07218> of Pisgah <06449> and take <05375> a good look <05869> to the west <03220>, north <06828>, south <08486>, and east <04217>, for <03588> you will not <03808> be allowed to cross <05674> the Jordan <03383>.
28Commission <06680> Joshua <03091>, and encourage <02388> and strengthen <0553> him, because <03588> he will lead <05674> these <02088> people <05971> over and will enable them to inherit <05157> the land <0776> you will see <07200>.”
29So we settled down <03427> in the valley <01516> opposite <04136> Beth Peor <01047>.
