Chapter 3

1We made our way up the road toward Bashan, and King Og of Bashan with all his men took the field against us at Edrei.

2But Hashem said to me: Do not fear him, for I am delivering him and all his men and his country into your power, and you will do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon.

vai-YO-mer a-do-NAI e-LAI al ti-RA o-TO, ki v'-ya-d'-KHA na-ta-TEE o-TO v'-ET kol a-MO v'-ET ar-TZO, v'-a-see-TA LO ka-a-SHER a-see-TA l'-si-KHON me-LEKH ha-e-mo-REE a-SHER yo-SHEV b'-khe-sh'-BON

3So Hashem our God also delivered into our power King Og of Bashan, with all his men, and we dealt them such a blow that no survivor was left.

4At that time we captured all his towns; there was not a town that we did not take from them: sixty towns, the whole district of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan

5all those towns were fortified with high walls, gates, and bars—apart from a great number of unwalled towns.

6We doomed them as we had done in the case of King Sihon of Heshbon; we doomed every town—men, women, and children—

8Thus we seized, at that time, from the two Amorite kings, the country beyond the Yarden, from the wadi Arnon to Mount Chermon

10all the towns of the Tableland and the whole of Gilad and Bashan as far as Salcah and Edrei, the towns of Og's kingdom in Bashan.

11Only King Og of Bashan was left of the remaining Rephaim. His bedstead, an iron bedstead, is now in Rabbah of the Ammonites; it is nine amot long and four amot wide, by the standard amah!

12And this is the land which we apportioned at that time: The part from Aroer along the wadi Arnon, with part of the hill country of Gilad and its towns, I assigned to the Reubenites and the Gadites.

13The rest of Gilad, and all of Bashan under Og's rule—the whole Argob district, all that part of Bashan which is called Rephaim country—I assigned to the half-tribe of Menashe.

14Yair son of Menashe received the whole Argob district (that is, Bashan) as far as the boundary of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, and named it after himself: Havvoth-jair—as is still the case.

15To Machir I assigned Gilad.

16And to the Reubenites and the Gadites I assigned the part from Gilad down to the wadi Arnon, the middle of the wadi being the boundary, and up to the wadi Jabbok, the boundary of the Ammonites.

17[We also seized] the Arabah, from the foot of the slopes of Pisgah on the east, to the edge of the Yarden, and from Chinnereth down to the sea of the Arabah, the Dead Sea.

18At that time I charged you, saying, “Hashem your God has given you this country to possess. You must go as shock-troops, warriors all, at the head of your Israelite kinsmen.

19Only your wives, children, and livestock—I know that you have much livestock—shall be left in the towns I have assigned to you,

20until Hashem has granted your kinsmen a haven such as you have, and they too have taken possession of the land that Hashem your God is assigning them, beyond the Yarden. Then you may return each to the homestead that I have assigned to him.”

21I also charged Yehoshua at that time, saying, “You have seen with your own eyes all that Hashem your God has done to these two kings; so shall Hashem do to all the kingdoms into which you shall cross over.

26But Hashem was wrathful with me on your account and would not listen to me. Hashem said to me, “Enough! Never speak to Me of this matter again!
