<t /><p class="bodytext">Next we set out on<n id="1" /> the route to Bashan,<n id="2" /> but King Og of Bashan and his whole army<n id="3" /> came out to meet us in battle at Edrei.<n id="4" />

all the cities of the plateau, all of Gilead and Bashan as far as Salecah<n id="1" /> and Edrei,<n id="2" /> cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.

The rest of Gilead and all of Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I gave to half the tribe of Manasseh.<n id="1" /> (All the region of Argob,<n id="2" /> that is, all Bashan, is called the land of Rephaim.

This took place after the defeat<n id="1" /> of King Sihon<n id="2" /> of the Amorites, whose capital was<n id="3" /> in Heshbon,<n id="4" /> and King Og of Bashan, whose capital was<n id="5" /> in Ashtaroth,<n id="6" /> specifically in Edrei.<n id="7" />

So the <sc>Lordsc> our God did indeed give over to us King Og of Bashan and his whole army and we struck them down until not a single survivor was left.<n id="1" />

These cities are Bezer, in the desert plateau, for the Reubenites; Ramoth in Gilead for the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan for the Manassehites.p>

They possessed his land and that of King Og of Bashan &#8211; both of whom were Amorite kings in the Transjordan, to the east.

When you came to this place King Sihon of Heshbon and King Og of Bashan came out to make war and we defeated them.

We captured all his cities at that time &#8211; there was not a town we did not take from them &#8211; sixty cities, all the region of Argob,<n id="1" /> the dominion of Og in Bashan.

Only King Og of Bashan was left of the remaining Rephaites. (It is noteworthy<n id="1" /> that his sarcophagus<n id="2" /> was made of iron.<n id="3" /> Does it not, indeed, still remain in Rabbath<n id="4" /> of the Ammonites? It is thirteen and a half feet<n id="5" /> long and six feet<n id="6" /> wide according to standard measure.)<n id="7" />p>

Jair, son of Manasseh, took all the Argob region as far as the border with the Geshurites<n id="1" /> and Maacathites<n id="2" /> (namely Bashan) and called it by his name, Havvoth-Jair,<n id="3" /> which it retains to this very day.)
