|
1 | Then we turned, and went up the way to Bashan: and Og the king
of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, to
battle at Edrei. |
|
2 | And the LORD said unto me, Fear him not: for I will deliver
him, and all his people, and his land, into thy hand; and thou
shalt do unto him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the
Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon. |
|
3 | So the LORD our God delivered into our hands Og also, the king
of Bashan, and all his people: and we smote him until none was
left to him remaining. |
|
4 | And we took all his cities at that time, there was not a city
which we took not from them, threescore cities, all the region
of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan. |
|
5 | All these cities were fenced with high walls, gates, and bars;
beside unwalled towns a great many. |
|
6 | And we utterly destroyed them, as we did unto Sihon king of
Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, women, and children, of
every city. |
|
7 | But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, we took for a
prey to ourselves. |
|
8 | And we took at that time out of the hand of the two kings of
the Amorites the land that was on this side Jordan, from the
river of Arnon unto mount Hermon; |
|
9 | (Which Hermon the Sidonians call Sirion; and the Amorites call
it Shenir;) |
|
10 | All the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan,
unto Salchah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan. |
|
11 | For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of giants;
behold his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is it not in
Rabbath of the children of Ammon? nine cubits was the length
thereof, and four cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of
a man. |
|
12 | And this land, which we possessed at that time, from Aroer,
which is by the river Arnon, and half mount Gilead, and the
cities thereof, gave I unto the Reubenites and to the Gadites. |
|
13 | And the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, being the kingdom of
Og, gave I unto the half tribe of Manasseh; all the region of
Argob, with all Bashan, which was called the land of giants. |
|
14 | Jair the son of Manasseh took all the country of Argob unto
the coasts of Geshuri and Maachathi; and called them after his
own name, Bashanhavothjair, unto this day. |
|
15 | And I gave Gilead unto Machir. |
|
16 | And unto the Reubenites and unto the Gadites I gave from
Gilead even unto the river Arnon half the valley, and the
border even unto the river Jabbok, which is the border of the
children of Ammon; |
|
17 | The plain also, and Jordan, and the coast thereof, from
Chinnereth even unto the sea of the plain, even the salt sea,
under Ashdothpisgah eastward. |
|
18 | And I commanded you at that time, saying, The LORD your God
hath given you this land to possess it: ye shall pass over
armed before your brethren the children of Israel, all that
are meet for the war. |
|
19 | But your wives, and your little ones, and your cattle, (for I
know that ye have much cattle,) shall abide in your cities
which I have given you; |
|
20 | Until the LORD have given rest unto your brethren, as well as
unto you, and until they also possess the land which the LORD
your God hath given them beyond Jordan: and then shall ye
return every man unto his possession, which I have given you. |
|
21 | And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, Thine eyes have
seen all that the LORD your God hath done unto these two
kings: so shall the LORD do unto all the kingdoms whither thou
passest. |
|
22 | Ye shall not fear them: for the LORD your God he shall fight
for you. |
|
23 | And I besought the LORD at that time, saying, |
|
24 | O Lord GOD, thou hast begun to shew thy servant thy greatness,
and thy mighty hand: for what God is there in heaven or in
earth, that can do according to thy works, and according to
thy might? |
|
25 | I pray thee, let me go over, and see the good land that is
beyond Jordan, that goodly mountain, and Lebanon. |
|
26 | But the LORD was wroth with me for your sakes, and would not
hear me: and the LORD said unto me, Let it suffice thee; speak
no more unto me of this matter. |
|
27 | Get thee up into the top of Pisgah, and lift up thine eyes
westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and
behold it with thine eyes: for thou shalt not go over this
Jordan. |
|
28 | But charge Joshua, and encourage him, and strengthen him: for
he shall go over before this people, and he shall cause them
to inherit the land which thou shalt see. |
|
29 | So we abode in the valley over against Bethpeor. |
