Deuteronomy 3:1-13

1“1Then we turned and went up the road to Bashan, and Og, king of Bashan, 2with all his people came out to meet us in battle at Edrei. 2But the Lord said to me, ‘Do not fear him, for I have delivered him and all his people and his land into your hand; and you shall do to him just as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon.’ 3So the Lord our God delivered Og also, king of Bashan, with all his people into our hand, and we smote 3them until no survivor was 4left. 4We captured all his cities at that time; there was not a city which we did not take from them: sixty cities, all the region of 5Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan. 5All these were cities fortified with high walls, gates and bars, besides a great many 6unwalled towns. 6We 7utterly destroyed them, as we did to 8Sihon king of Heshbon, 910utterly destroying 11the men, women and children of every city. 712But all the animals and the spoil of the cities we took as our booty.

8“13Thus we took the land at that time from the hand of the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, from the 14valley of Arnon to Mount Hermon 9(Sidonians 15call Hermon 16Sirion, and the Amorites call it 17Senir): 10all the cities of the plateau and all Gilead and 18all Bashan, as far as Salecah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan. 11(For only Og king of Bashan was left of the remnant of the 19Rephaim. Behold, his 20bedstead was an iron 21bedstead; it is in 22Rabbah of the sons of Ammon. Its length was nine cubits and its width four cubits 23by ordinary cubit.)

12“So we took possession of this land at that time. From 24Aroer, which is by the 25valley of Arnon, and half the hill country of 26Gilead and its cities I gave to the Reubenites and to the Gadites. 13The rest of Gilead and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I gave to the half-tribe of Manasseh, all the region of Argob (concerning all Bashan, it is called the land of Rephaim.
