(Deu 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.
(Deu 3:2) 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.
(Deu 3:3) 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.
(Deu 3:4) 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.
(Deu 3:5) All these cities {were} fenced with high walls, gates, and bars; beside unwalled towns a great many.
(Deu 3:6) And we utterly destroyed them, as we did unto Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, women, and children, of every city.
(Deu 3:7) But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, we took for a prey to ourselves.
(Deu 3:8) 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;
(Deu 3:9) ({Which} Hermon the Sidonians call Sirion; and the Amorites call it Shenir;)
(Deu 3:10) All the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, unto Salchah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
(Deu 3:11) 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.
(Deu 3:12) 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.
(Deu 3:13) 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.
(Deu 3:14) 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.
(Deu 3:15) And I gave Gilead unto Machir.
(Deu 3:16) 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;
(Deu 3:17) 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.
(Deu 3:18) 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.
(Deu 3:19) 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;
(Deu 3:20) 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.
(Deu 3:21) 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.
(Deu 3:22) Ye shall not fear them: for the Lord your God he shall fight for you.
(Deu 3:23) And I besought the Lord at that time, saying,
(Deu 3:24) 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?
(Deu 3:25) I pray thee, let me go over, and see the good land that {is} beyond Jordan, that goodly mountain, and Lebanon.
(Deu 3:26) 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.
(Deu 3:27) 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.
(Deu 3:28) 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.
(Deu 3:29) So we abode in the valley over against Bethpeor.
