Conquests Recounted
1“1Then we turnedH6437 and wentH5927 up the roadH1870 to BashanH1316, and OgH5747, kingH4428 of BashanH1316, 2with allH3605 his peopleH5971 cameH3318 out to meetH7122 us in battleH4421 at EdreiH154. 2But the LordH3068 saidH559 to me, ‘Do not fearH3372 him, for I have deliveredH5414 him and allH3605 his peopleH5971 and his landH776 into your handH3027; and you shall doH6213 to him justH3512 as you didH6213 to SihonH5511 kingH4428 of the AmoritesH567, whoH834 livedH3427 at HeshbonH2809.’ 3So the LordH3068 our GodH430 deliveredH5414 OgH5747 alsoH1571, kingH4428 of BashanH1316, with allH3605 his peopleH5971 into our handH3027, and we smoteH5221 3them untilH5704 noH1115 survivorH8300 was 4leftH7604. 4We capturedH3920 allH3605 his citiesH5892 at that timeH6256; there was not a cityH7151 whichH834 we did not takeH3947 from them: sixtyH8346 citiesH5892, allH3605 the regionH2256 of 5ArgobH709, the kingdomH4467 of OgH5747 in BashanH1316. 5AllH3605 theseH428 were citiesH5892 fortifiedH1219 with highH1364 wallsH2346, gatesH1817 and barsH1280, besidesH905H4480 a greatH3966 manyH7235 6unwalledH6521 townsH5892. 6We 7utterlyH2763 destroyedH2763 them, as we didH6213 to 8SihonH5511 kingH4428 of HeshbonH2809, 910utterlyH2763 destroyingH2763 11the menH4962, womenH802 and childrenH2945 of everyH3605 cityH5892. 712But allH3605 the animalsH929 and the spoilH7998 of the citiesH5892 we tookH962 as our bootyH962.
8“13Thus we tookH3947 the landH776 at that timeH6256 from the handH3027 of the twoH8147 kingsH4428 of the AmoritesH567 whoH834 were beyondH5676 the JordanH3383, from the 14valleyH5158 of ArnonH769 to MountH2022 HermonH2768 9(SidoniansH6722 15callH7121 HermonH2768 16SirionH8303, and the AmoritesH567 callH7121 it 17SenirH8149): 10allH3605 the citiesH5892 of the plateauH4334 and allH3605 GileadH1568 and 18allH3605 BashanH1316, as farH5704 as SalecahH5548 and EdreiH154, citiesH5892 of the kingdomH4467 of OgH5747 in BashanH1316. 11(For onlyH7534 OgH5747 kingH4428 of BashanH1316 was leftH7604 of the remnantH3499 of the 19RephaimH7497. BeholdH2009, his 20bedsteadH6210 was an ironH1270 21bedsteadH6210; it is in 22RabbahH7237 of the sonsH1121 of AmmonH5983. Its lengthH753 was nineH8672 cubitsH520 and its widthH7341 fourH702 cubitsH520 23by ordinaryH376 cubitH520.)
12“So we tookH3423 possessionH3423 of thisH2088 landH776 at that timeH6256. From 24AroerH6177, whichH834 is by the 25valleyH5158 of ArnonH769, and halfH2677 the hillH2022 countryH2022 of 26GileadH1568 and its citiesH5892 I gaveH5414 to the ReubenitesH7206 and to the GaditesH1425. 13The restH3499 of GileadH1568 and allH3605 BashanH1316, the kingdomH4467 of OgH5747, I gaveH5414 to the half-tribeH2677H7626 of ManassehH4519, allH3605 the regionH2256 of ArgobH709 (concerning allH3605 BashanH1316, it is calledH7121 the landH776 of RephaimH7497. 1427JairH2971 the sonH1121 of ManassehH4519 tookH3947 allH3605 the regionH2256 of ArgobH709 as farH5704 as the borderH1366 of the GeshuritesH1651 and the MaacathitesH4602, and calledH7121 28it, that is, BashanH1316, afterH5921 his own nameH8034, 29Havvoth-jairH2334, as it is to thisH2088 dayH3117.) 1530To MachirH4353 I gaveH5414 GileadH1568. 16To the ReubenitesH7206 and to the GaditesH1425 I gaveH5414 from GileadH1568 even as farH5704 as the 31valleyH5158 of ArnonH769, the middleH8432 of the 32valleyH5158 33as a borderH1366 and as farH5704 as the 34riverH5158 35JabbokH2999, the borderH1366 of the sonsH1121 of AmmonH5983; 17the ArabahH6160 also, with the JordanH3383 36as a borderH1366, from 3738ChinnerethH3672 39even as farH5704 as the seaH3220 of the ArabahH6160, 40the SaltH4417 SeaH3220, 41at the footH8478 of the slopesH794 of PisgahH6449 on the eastH4217.
18“Then I commandedH6680 you at that timeH6256, sayingH559, ‘42The LordH3068 your GodH430 has givenH5414 you thisH2088 landH776 to possessH3423 it; 43allH3605 you valiantH2428 menH1121 shall crossH5674 overH5674 armedH2502 beforeH6440 your brothersH251, the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478. 1944But your wivesH802 and your littleH2945 onesH2945 and your livestockH4735 (I knowH3045 that you have 45muchH7227 livestockH4735) shall remainH3427 in your citiesH5892 whichH834 I have givenH5414 you, 2046untilH5704 the LordH3068 givesH5117 restH5117 to your fellowH251 countrymenH251 as to you, and they alsoH1571 possessH3423 the landH776 whichH834 the LordH3068 your GodH430 will giveH5414 them beyondH5676 the JordanH3383. 47Then you may returnH7725 everyH376 manH376 to his possessionH3425 whichH834 I have givenH5414 you.’ 21I commandedH6680 JoshuaH3091 at that timeH6256, sayingH559, ‘Your eyesH5869 have seenH7200 allH3605 that the LordH3068 your GodH430 has doneH6213 to theseH428 twoH8147 kingsH4428; soH3651 the LordH3068 shall doH6213 to allH3605 the kingdomsH4467 into whichH834 you are about to crossH5674. 22Do not fearH3372 them, for the LordH3068 your GodH430 48is the one fightingH3898 for you.’
23“I also pleadedH2603 with the LordH3068 at that timeH6256, sayingH559, 24‘O LordH136 49GodH3068, You have begunH2490 to showH7200 Your servantH5650 50Your greatnessH1433 and Your strongH2389 handH3027; for whatH4310 51godH410 is there in heavenH8064 or on earthH776 whoH834 can doH6213 such worksH4639 and mightyH1369 actsH1369 as Yours? 25Let me, I prayH4994, crossH5674 overH5674 and seeH7200 the 52fairH2896 landH776 that is beyondH5676 the JordanH3383, 53that goodH2896 hillH2022 countryH2022 and LebanonH3844.’ 26But 54the LordH3068 was angryH5674 with me on your accountH4616, and would not listenH8085 to me; and the LordH3068 saidH559 to me, ‘55EnoughH7227! SpeakH1696 to Me noH408 moreH3254H5750 of thisH2088 matterH1697. 27GoH5927 up to the topH7218 of 56PisgahH6449 and liftH5375 up your eyesH5869 to the westH3220 and northH6828 and southH8486 and eastH4217, and seeH7200 it with your eyesH5869, 57for you shall not crossH5674 overH5674 thisH2088 JordanH3383. 2858But chargeH6680 JoshuaH3091 and encourageH2388 him and strengthenH553 him, 59for he shall goH5674 acrossH5674 60at the headH6440 of thisH2088 peopleH5971, and he will giveH5159 them as an inheritanceH5157 the landH776 whichH834 you will seeH7200.’ 29So we remainedH3427 in the valleyH1516 oppositeH4136 61Beth-peorH1047.
