Chapter 3
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 3:5
- All these cities were fenced with
high walls, gates, and bars; beside unwalled towns a great many.
- 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.
- 3:7
- But all the cattle, and the spoil
of the cities, we took for a prey to ourselves.
- 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;
- 3:9
- (Which Hermon the Sidonians call
Sirion; and the Amorites call it Shenir;)
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 3:15
- And I gave Gilead unto Machir.
- 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;
- 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.
- 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.
- 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;
- 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.
- 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.
- 3:22
- Ye shall not fear them: for the
LORD your God he shall fight for you.
- 3:23
- And I besought the LORD at that
time, saying,
- 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?
- 3:25
- I pray thee, let me go over, and
see the good land that is beyond Jordan, that goodly mountain, and
Lebanon.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 3:29
- So we abode in the valley over
against Bethpeor.
