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.

²The LORD 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 .”

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

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 .

⁵All these were cities fortified with high walls , gates , and bars , in addition to a great many villages without walls .

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

⁷But all the livestock, and the plunder of the cities , we took for plunder for ourselves.

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 .

⁹(The Sidonians call Hermon Sirion , and the Amorites call it Senir .)

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 .

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 width , after the cubit of a man .)[#3:11 A cubit is the length from the tip of the middle finger to the elbow on a man’s arm, or about 18 inches or 46 centimeters.]

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 with its cities , I gave to the Reubenites and to the Gadites ;

¹³and the rest of Gilead , and all Bashan , the kingdom of Og , I gave to 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, to the border of the Geshurites and the Maacathites , and called them , even Bashan , after his own name , Havvoth Jair , to this day .)

¹⁵I gave Gilead to Machir .

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 ;

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 .

¹⁸I commanded you at that time , saying, “The LORD your God has given you this land to possess it . All of you men of valor shall pass over armed before your brothers , the children of Israel .

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 ,

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

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

²²You shall not fear them ; for the LORD your God himself fights for you .”

²³I begged GOD at that time , saying,

²⁴“Lord GOD , 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 ?[#3:24 The word translated “Lord” (mixed case) is “Adonai.”]

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

²⁶But the LORD was angry with me because of you , and didn’t listen to me . The LORD said to me , “That is enough ! Speak no more to me of this matter .

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 .

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 .”

²⁹So we stayed in the valley near Beth Peor.
