King Og Defeated

1 “Then we turned and went up the road to Bashan; and aOg king of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, to battle bat Edrei.  
2 And the Lord said to me, ‘Do not fear him, for I have delivered him and all his people and his land into your hand; you shall do to him as you did to aSihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon.’  
3 “So the Lord our God also delivered into our hands Og king of Bashan, with all his people, and we1 attacked him until he had no survivors remaining.  
4 And we took all his cities at that time; there was not a city which we did not take from them: sixty cities, aall the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.  
5 All these cities were fortified with high walls, gates, and bars, besides a great many rural towns.
6 And we utterly destroyed them, as we did to Sihon king aof Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, women, and children of every city.  
7 But all the livestock and the spoil of the cities we took as booty for ourselves.
8 “And at that time we took the aland from the hand of the two kings of the Amorites who were on this side of the Jordan, from the River Arnon to Mount bHermon  
9 (the Sidonians call aHermon Sirion, and the Amorites call it Senir),  
10 aall the cities of the plain, all Gilead, and ball Bashan, as far as Salcah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.  
11 a“For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of bthe giants. Indeed his bedstead was an iron bedstead. (Is it not in cRabbah of the people of Ammon?) Nine cubits is its length and four cubits its width, according to the standard cubit.  

The Land East of the Jordan Divided

12 “And this aland, which we possessed at that time, bfrom Aroer, which is by the River Arnon, and half the mountains of Gilead and cits cities, I gave to the Reubenites and the Gadites.  
13 aThe rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I gave to half the tribe of Manasseh. (All the region of Argob, with all Bashan, was called the land of the1 giants.  
14 aJair the son of Manasseh took all the region of Argob, bas far as the border of the Geshurites and the Maachathites, and ccalled Bashan after his own name, Havoth Jair, to this day.)

Deuteronomy

DEUTERONOMY, the second law, a title which plainly shows what is the object of this book, namely, a recapitulation of the law. It was given in the form of public addresses to the people; and as Moses spoke in the prospect of his speedy removal, he enforced obedience to it by many forcible appeals to the Israelites, concerning their long and varied experience both of the mercies and the judgments of God. The minute notices of the heathen people with whom they had come in contact, but who afterward disappeared from the pages of history, as well as the accounts of the fertility and products of Canaan, and the counsels respecting the conquest of that country, fix the date of this book and the time of its composition by the hand of Moses. The close, however, must have been added by another; and, indeed, it is supposed by some to have formed the original preface to the Book of Joshua.
