1Then we turned , and went up the way to Bashan : and Og the king of Bashan came out against us , he and all his people , unto battle at Edrei. 2And Jehovah 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 Jehovah 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 took not from them ; threescore cities , all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan . 5All these were cities fortified with high walls , gates , and bars ; besides the unwalled towns a great many . 6And we utterly destroyed them , as we did unto Sihon king of Heshbon , utterly destroying every inhabited city , with the women and the little ones . 7But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities , we took for a prey unto ourselves. 8And we took the land at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites that were beyond the Jordan , from the valley of the Arnon unto mount Hermon 9( which Hermon the Sidonians call Sirion , and the Amorites call it Senir ); 10all the cities of the plain , and all Gilead , and all Bashan , unto Salecah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan . 11( For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of the Rephaim ; behold , his bedstead was a bedstead of iron ; is it not in Rabbah of the children of Ammon ? nine cubits was the length thereof , and four cubits the breadth of it , after the cubit of a man .)
Division of the Land
12And this 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 the cities thereof , gave I unto the Reubenites and to the Gadites : 13and the rest of Gilead , and all Bashan , the kingdom of Og , gave I unto the half-tribe of Manasseh ; all the region of Argob, even all Bashan . ( The same is called the land of Rephaim . 14Jair the son of Manasseh took all the region of Argob, unto the border of the Geshurites and the Maacathites , and called them , even Bashan , after his own name , Havvoth-jair , unto this day .) 15And I gave Gilead unto Machir . 16And unto the Reubenites and unto the Gadites I gave from Gilead even unto the valley of the Arnon, the middle of the valley , and the border thereof , even unto the river Jabbok , which is the border of the children of Ammon ; 17the Arabah also , and the Jordan and the border thereof , from Chinnereth even unto the sea of the Arabah , the Salt Sea , under the slopes of Pisgah eastward . 18And I commanded you at that time , saying, Jehovah your God hath given you this land to possess it : ye shall pass over armed before your brethren the children of Israel , all the men of valor . 19But your wives, and your little ones , and your cattle ( I know that ye have much cattle ), shall abide in your cities which I have given you , 20until Jehovah give rest unto your brethren, as unto you , and they also possess the land which Jehovah your God giveth them beyond the Jordan : then shall ye return every man unto his possession , which I have given you .
Moses' Commission and Encouragement to Joshua
21And I commanded Joshua at that time , saying, Thine eyes have seen all that Jehovah your God hath done unto these two kings : so shall Jehovah do unto all the kingdoms whither thou goest over . 22Ye shall not fear them ; for Jehovah your God , he it is that fighteth for you . 23And I besought Jehovah at that time , saying, 24O Lord Jehovah , thou hast begun to show thy servant thy greatness , and thy strong hand : for what god is there in heaven or in earth , that can do according to thy works , and according to thy mighty acts ? 25Let me go over , I pray thee , and see the good land that is beyond the Jordan , that goodly mountain , and Lebanon . 26But Jehovah was wroth with me for your sakes , and hearkened not unto me ; and Jehovah said unto me , Let it suffice thee ; speak no more unto me of this matter . 27Get thee up unto the top of Pisgah , and lift up thine eyes westward , and northward , and southward , and eastward , and behold with thine eyes : for thou shalt not go over this Jordan . 28But 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 . 29So we abode in the valley over against Beth-peor .
