3Deuteronomy 3

1Then we turned, and went up the way to Bashan. Og the king of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei.Select Deuteronomy 3:1

2Yahweh said to me, “Don’t fear him; for I have delivered him, with all his people, and his land, into your hand. You shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon.”Select Deuteronomy 3:2

3So Yahweh our God delivered into our hand Og also, the king of Bashan, and all his people. We struck him until no one was left to him remaining.Select Deuteronomy 3:3

4We took all his cities at that time. There was not a city which we didn’t take from them; sixty cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.Select Deuteronomy 3:4

5All these were cities fortified with high walls, gates, and bars; besides a great many towns without walls.Select Deuteronomy 3:5

6We utterly destroyed them, as we did to Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying every inhabited city, with the women and the little ones.Select Deuteronomy 3:6

7But all the livestock, and the plunder of the cities, we took for plunder for ourselves.Select Deuteronomy 3:7

8We took the land at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, from the valley of the Arnon to Mount Hermon.Select Deuteronomy 3:8

9(The Sidonians call Hermon Sirion, and the Amorites call it Senir.)Select Deuteronomy 3:9

10We took all the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, to Salecah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.Select Deuteronomy 3:10

11(For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of the Rephaim. Behold, his bedstead was a bedstead of iron. Isn’t it in Rabbah of the children of Ammon? Nine cubits was its length, and four cubits its breadth, after the cubit of a man.)Select Deuteronomy 3:11

12This land we took in possession at that time: from Aroer, which is by the valley of the Arnon, and half the hill country of Gilead, and its cities, gave I to the Reubenites and to the Gadites:Select Deuteronomy 3:12

13and the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, gave I to the half-tribe of Manasseh; all the region of Argob, even all Bashan. (The same is called the land of Rephaim.Select Deuteronomy 3:13

14Jair the son of Manasseh took all the region of Argob, to the border of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, and called them, even Bashan, after his own name, Havvoth Jair, to this day.)Select Deuteronomy 3:14

15I gave Gilead to Machir.Select Deuteronomy 3:15

16To the Reubenites and to the Gadites I gave from Gilead even to the valley of the Arnon, the middle of the valley, and its border, even to the river Jabbok, which is the border of the children of Ammon;Select Deuteronomy 3:16

17the Arabah also, and the Jordan and its border, from Chinnereth even to the sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, under the slopes of Pisgah eastward.Select Deuteronomy 3:17

18I commanded you at that time, saying, “Yahweh your God has given you this land to possess it. You shall pass over armed before your brothers the children of Israel, all the men of valor.Select Deuteronomy 3:18

19But your wives, and your little ones, and your livestock, (I know that you have much livestock), shall live in your cities which I have given you,Select Deuteronomy 3:19

20until Yahweh gives rest to your brothers, as to you, and they also possess the land which Yahweh your God gives them beyond the Jordan. Then you shall each return to his own possession, which I have given you.”Select Deuteronomy 3:20

21I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, “Your eyes have seen all that Yahweh your God has done to these two kings. So shall Yahweh do to all the kingdoms where you go over.Select Deuteronomy 3:21

22You shall not fear them; for Yahweh your God himself fights for you.”Select Deuteronomy 3:22

23I begged Yahweh at that time, saying,Select Deuteronomy 3:23

24“Lord Yahweh, you have begun to show your servant your greatness, and your strong hand. For what god is there in heaven or in earth that can do works like yours, and mighty acts like yours?Select Deuteronomy 3:24

25Please let me go over and see the good land that is beyond the Jordan, that fine mountain, and Lebanon.”Select Deuteronomy 3:25

26But Yahweh was angry with me for your sakes, and didn’t listen to me. Yahweh said to me, “Let this satisfy you. Speak no more to me of this matter.Select Deuteronomy 3:26

27Go up to the top of Pisgah, and lift up your eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and see with your eyes; for you shall not go over this Jordan.Select Deuteronomy 3:27

28But commission 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 you shall see.”Select Deuteronomy 3:28

29So we stayed in the valley near Beth Peor.Select Deuteronomy 3:29
