3:1 Next we set out on <05927> <06437> the route <01870> to Bashan <01316>, but King <04428> Og <05747> of Bashan <01316> and his <01931> whole <03605> army <05971> came out <03318> to meet <07125> us in battle <04421> at Edrei <0154>. 3:2 The Lord <03068>, however, said <0559> to <0413> me, “Don’t <0408> be afraid <03372> of him because <03588> I have already given <05414> him, his whole <03605> army <05971>, and his land <0776> to you. You will do <06213> to him exactly what <0834> you did <06213> to King <04428> Sihon <05511> of the Amorites <0567> who <0834> lived <03427> in Heshbon <02809>.” 3:3 So the Lord <03068> our God <0430> did indeed <01571> give over <03027> <05414> to us King <04428> Og <05747> of Bashan <01316> and his whole <03605> army <05971> and we struck <05221> them down <05221> until <05704> not <01115> a single survivor <08300> was left <07604>. 3:4 We captured <03920> all <03605> his cities <05892> at that time <06256>– there was <01961> not <03808> a town <07151> we did not <03808> take <03947> from them– sixty <08346> cities <05892>, all <03605> the region <02256> of Argob <0709>, the dominion <04467> of Og <05747> in Bashan <01316>. 3:5 All <03605> of these <0428> cities <05892> were fortified <01219> by high <01364> walls <02346>, gates <01817>, and locking bars <01280>; in addition <0905> there were a great <03966> many <07235> open villages <06521> <05892>. 3:6 We put <02763> all of these under divine judgment <02763> just as we had done <06213> to King <04428> Sihon <05511> of Heshbon <02809>– every <03605> occupied <04962> city <05892>, including women <0802> and children <02945>. 3:7 But all <03605> the livestock <0929> and plunder <07998> from the cities <05892> we kept <0962> for ourselves. 3:8 So at that time <06256> we took <03947> the land <0776> of the two <08147> Amorite <0567> kings <04428> in the Transjordan <03383> <05676> from Wadi <05158> Arnon <0769> to Mount <02022> Hermon <02768> 3:9 (the Sidonians <06722> call <07121> Hermon <02768> Sirion <08303> and the Amorites <0567> call <07121> it Senir <08149>), 3:10 all <03605> the cities <05892> of the plateau <04334>, all <03605> of Gilead <01568> and Bashan <01316> as far <05704> as Salecah <05548> and Edrei <0154>, cities <05892> of the kingdom <04467> of Og <05747> in Bashan <01316>. 3:11 Only <07535> King <04428> Og <05747> of Bashan <01316> was left <07604> of the remaining <03499> Rephaites <07497>. (It is noteworthy <02009> that his sarcophagus <06210> was made of iron <01270>. Does it <01931> not <03808>, indeed, still remain in Rabbath <07237> of the Ammonites <05983> <01121>? It is thirteen and a half feet <0520> <08672> long <0753> and six feet <0520> <0702> wide <07341> according to standard measure <0376> <0520>.) 3:12 This <02063> is the land <0776> we brought under our control <03423> at that <01931> time <06256>: The territory extending from Aroer <06177> by <05921> the Wadi <05158> Arnon <0769> and half <02677> the Gilead <01568> hill country <02022> with its cities <05892> I gave <05414> to the Reubenites <07206> and Gadites <01425>. 3:13 The rest <03499> of Gilead <01568> and all <03605> of Bashan <01316>, the kingdom <04467> of Og <05747>, I gave <05414> to half <02677> the tribe <07626> of Manasseh <04519>. (All <03605> the region <02256> of Argob <0709>, that is, all <03605> Bashan <01316>, is called <07121> the land <0776> of Rephaim <07497>. 3:14 Jair <02971>, son <01121> of Manasseh <04519>, took <03947> all <03605> the Argob <0709> region <02256> as far as <05704> the border <01366> with the Geshurites <01651> and Maacathites <04602> (namely Bashan <01316>) and called <07121> it by <05921> his name <08034>, Havvoth-Jair <02334>, which it retains <05704> to this <02088> very day <03117>.) 3:15 I gave <05414> Gilead <01568> to Machir <04353>. 3:16 To the Reubenites <07206> and Gadites <01425> I allocated <05414> the territory extending from <04480> Gilead <01568> as far <05704> as Wadi <05158> Arnon <0769> (the exact middle <08432> of the wadi <05158> was a boundary <01366>) all the way to <05704> the Wadi <05158> Jabbok <02999>, the Ammonite <05983> <01121> border <01366>. 3:17 The Arabah <06160> and the Jordan River <03383> were also a border <01366>, from the sea of Chinnereth <03672> to <05704> the sea <03220> of the Arabah <06160> (that is, the Salt <04417> Sea <03220>), beneath <08478> the watershed <0794> of Pisgah <06449> to the east <04217>. 3:18 At that time <06256> I instructed <06680> you as follows: “The Lord <03068> your God <0430> has given <05414> you this <02063> land <0776> for your possession <03423>. You warriors <02502> are to cross <05674> over before <06440> your fellow <0251> Israelites <01121> <03478> <01121> equipped for battle <02428>.
