Deuteronomy 3:6 - Forerunner Commentary

Deuteronomy 3:6

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.)

15 “Also I gave ^aGilead to Machir.

16 And to the Reubenites ^aand the Gadites I gave from Gilead as far as the River Arnon, the middle of the river as the border, as far as the River Jabbok, ^bthe border of the people of Ammon;

17 the plain also, with the Jordan as the border, from Chinnereth ^aas far as the east side of the Sea of the Arabah ^b(the Salt Sea), below the slopes of Pisgah.

18 “Then I commanded you at that time, saying: ‘The Lord your God has given you this land to possess. ^aAll you men of valor shall cross over armed before your brethren, the children of Israel.

19 But your wives, your little ones, and your livestock (I know that you have much livestock) shall stay in your cities which I have given you,
