Numbers 21:32

Compare all

30 “But we have shot at them;
Heshbon has perished ^aas far as Dibon.
Then we laid waste as far as Nophah,
Which reaches to ^bMedeba.”

31 Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites.

32 Then Moses sent to¹ spy out ^aJazer; and they took its villages and drove out the Amorites who were there.

King Og Defeated

33 ^aAnd they turned and went up by the way to ^bBashan. So Og king of Bashan went out against them, he and all his people, to battle ^cat Edrei.

34 Then the Lord said to Moses, ^a“Do not fear him, for I have delivered him into your hand, with all his people and his land; and ^byou shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon.”

35 ^aSo they defeated him, his sons, and all his people, until there was no survivor left him; and they took possession of his land.

Numbers 21:32

Jaazer - To he identified probably with the ruins Sir or es-Sir 10 miles north of Heshbon. The occupation of it by the Israelites virtually completed their conquest of the Amorite kingdom; and prepared the way for the pastoral settlements in it which they not long after established Numbers 32:35.
