¹ Then we turned, and went up the way to Bashan: and Og the king of BashanTherefore aside from the commandment of the Lord, they had just cause to fight against him.came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei.

² And the Lorde sayde vnto me, Feare him not, for I will deliuer him, and all his people, and his land into thine hand, and thou shalt doe vnto him as thou diddest vnto Sihon King of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.

³ So the Lorde our God deliuered also vnto our hand, Og the King of Bashan, and all his people: and we smote him, vntill none was left him aliue,

⁴ And we tooke all his cities the same time, neither was there a citie which we tooke not from them, euen three score cities, and all ye countrey of Argob, the kingdome of Og in Bashan.

⁵ All these cities [were] fenced with high walls, gates, and bars; besideAs villages and small towns.unwalled towns a great many.

⁶ And we utterly destroyed them, as we did unto Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying the men,Because this was God's appointment, therefore it may not be judged cruel.women, and children, of every city.

⁷ But all the cattell and the spoyle of the cities we tooke for our selues.

⁸ Thus we tooke at that time out of the hand of two Kings of the Amorites, the land that was on this side Iorden from the riuer of Arnon vnto mount Hermon:

¹² And this land which we possessed at that time, from Aroer, which is by the riuer of Arnon, and halfe mount Gilead, and the cities thereof, gaue I vnto the Reubenites and Gadites.

¹³ And the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, the kingdome of Og, gaue I vnto the halfe tribe of Manasseh: euen all the countrey of Argob with all Bashan, which is called, The land of gyants.

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, untoMeaning, when he wrote this history.this day.

¹⁵ And I gaue part of Gilead vnto 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 riverWhich separates the Ammonites from the Amorites.Jabbok, [which is] the border of the children of Ammon;

¹⁷ The plaine also and Iorden, and the borders from Chinnereth euen vnto the Sea of the plaine, to wit, the salt Sea vnder the springs of Pisgah Eastwarde.

¹⁸ And I commandedThat is, the Reubenites, Gadites, and half Manasseh, as in (Num_32:32).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 Your wiues onely, and your children, and your cattel (for I know that ye haue much cattel) shall abide in your cities, which I haue giuen you,

²⁰ Vntill the Lorde haue giuen rest vnto your brethren as vnto you, and that they also possesse the lande, which the Lorde your God hath giuen them beyond Iorden: then shall ye returne euery man vnto his possession, which I haue giuen you.

²¹ And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, Thine eyes have seen all that theSo that the victories did not come by your own wisdom, strength or multitude.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 feare them: for the Lord your God, he shall fight for you.

²³ And I besought the Lorde the same time, saying,

²⁶ But the Lord was angrie with me for your sakes, and would not heare me: and the Lord said vnto me, Let it suffice thee, speake no more vnto me of this matter.

²⁷ Get thee up into the top of Pisgah, andAs before he saw by the spirits of prophecy the good mountain which was Zion: so here his eyes were lifted up above the order of nature to behold all the plentiful land of Canaan.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 Ioshua, and incourage him, and bolden him: for hee shall goe before this people, and he shall deuide for inheritance vnto them, the land which thou shalt see.
