Israel Takes Possession of the Land

1 “Then we turned ^H6437 and went ^H5927 up ^H5927 the road ^H1870 to Bashan ^H1316, and Og ^H5747 king ^H4428 of Bashan ^H1316, [fn]with all ^H3605 his people ^H5971, came ^H3318 out ^H3318 to meet ^H7122 us in battle ^H4421 at Edrei ^H154.

2 But Yahweh ^H3068 said ^H559 to me, ‘Do not fear ^H3372 him, for I have given ^H5414 him and all ^H3605 his people ^H5971 and his land ^H776 over into your hand ^H3027; and you shall do ^H6213 to him just ^H834 as you did ^H6213 to Sihon ^H5511 king ^H4428 of the Amorites ^H567, who ^H834 lived ^H3427 at Heshbon ^H2809.’ 3 So Yahweh ^H3068 our God ^H430 also ^H1571 gave ^H5414 Og ^H5747, king ^H4428 of Bashan ^H1316, with all ^H3605 his people ^H5971 over into our hand ^H3027, and we struck ^H5221 [fn]them until ^H5704 [fn]there was ^H7604 no ^H1115 survivor ^H8300 remaining ^H7604 for him. 4 And we captured ^H3920 all ^H3605 his cities ^H5892 at that time ^H6256; there was not a town ^H7151 which ^H834 we did not take ^H3947 from them: sixty ^H8346 cities ^H5892, all ^H3605 the region ^H2256 of Argob ^H709, the kingdom ^H4467 of Og ^H5747 in Bashan ^H1316. 5 All ^H3605 these ^H428 were cities ^H5892 fortified ^H1219 with high ^H1364 walls ^H2346, gates ^H1817 and bars ^H1280, besides ^H905 H4480 a great ^H3966 many ^H7235 [fn]unwalled ^H6521 towns ^H5892. 6 And we [fn]devoted ^H2763 them to destruction ^H2763, as we did ^H6213 to Sihon ^H5511 king ^H4428 of Heshbon ^H2809, [fn]devoting ^H2763 to destruction ^H2763 [fn]the men ^H4962, women ^H802, and little ^H2945 ones ^H2945 of every ^H3605 city ^H5892. 7 But all ^H3605 the animals ^H929 and the spoil ^H7998 of the cities ^H5892 we took ^H962 as our plunder ^H962.

8 “Thus we took ^H3947 the land ^H776 at that time ^H6256 from the hand ^H3027 of the two ^H8147 kings ^H4428 of the Amorites ^H567 who ^H834 were beyond ^H5676 the Jordan ^H3383, from the [fn]valley ^H5158 of Arnon ^H769 to Mount ^H2022 Hermon ^H2768 9 (Sidonians ^H6722 call ^H7121 Hermon ^H2768 Sirion ^H8303, and the Amorites ^H567 call ^H7121 it Senir ^H8149): 10 all ^H3605 the cities ^H5892 of the plateau ^H4334 and all ^H3605 Gilead ^H1568 and all ^H3605 Bashan ^H1316, as far ^H5704 as Salecah ^H5548 and Edrei ^H154, cities ^H5892 of the kingdom ^H4467 of Og ^H5747 in Bashan ^H1316. 11 (For only ^H7534 Og ^H5747 king ^H4428 of Bashan ^H1316 remained ^H7604 of the remnant ^H3499 of the Rephaim ^H7497. Behold ^H2009, his [fn]bedstead ^H6210 was an iron ^H1270 [fn]bedstead ^H6210; it is in Rabbah ^H7237 of the sons ^H1121 of Ammon ^H5983. Its length ^H753 was [fn]nine ^H8672 cubits ^H520, and its width ^H7341 four ^H702 cubits ^H520 [fn]by ordinary ^H376 cubit ^H520.)

12 “So we took ^H3423 possession ^H3423 of this ^H2088 land ^H776 at that time ^H6256. From Aroer ^H6177, which ^H834 is by the [fn]valley ^H5158 of Arnon ^H769, and half ^H2677 the hill ^H2022 country ^H2022 of Gilead ^H1568 and its cities ^H5892 I gave ^H5414 to the Reubenites ^H7206 and to the Gadites ^H1425. 13 And the rest ^H3499 of Gilead ^H1568 and all ^H3605 Bashan ^H1316, the kingdom ^H4467 of Og ^H5747, I gave ^H5414 to the half-tribe ^H2677 H7626 of Manasseh ^H4519, all ^H3605 the region ^H2256 of Argob ^H709. (Concerning all ^H3605 Bashan ^H1316, it is called ^H7121 the land ^H776 of Rephaim ^H7497. 14 Jair ^H2971 the son ^H1121 of Manasseh ^H4519 took ^H3947 all ^H3605 the region ^H2256 of Argob ^H709 as far ^H5704 as the border ^H1366 of the Geshurites ^H1651 and the Maacathites ^H4602 and called ^H7121 [fn]it—that is, Bashan ^H1316—after ^H5921 his own name ^H8034, [fn]Havvoth-jair ^H2334, as it is to this ^H2088 day ^H3117.) 15 And to Machir ^H4353 I gave ^H5414 Gilead ^H1568. 16 And to the Reubenites ^H7206 and to the Gadites ^H1425 I gave ^H5414 from Gilead ^H1568 even as far ^H5704 as the [fn]valley ^H5158 of Arnon ^H769, the middle ^H8432 of the [fn]valley ^H5158 [fn]as a border ^H1366 and as far ^H5704 as the [fn]river ^H5158 Jabbok ^H2999, the border ^H1366 of the sons ^H1121 of Ammon ^H5983; 17 the Arabah ^H6160 also, with the Jordan ^H3383 [fn]as a border ^H1366, from [fn]Chinnereth ^H3672 even as far ^H5704 as the sea ^H3220 of the Arabah ^H6160, the Salt ^H4417 Sea ^H3220, [fn]at ^H8478 the ^H8478 foot ^H8478 of ^H8478 the slopes ^H794 of Pisgah ^H6449 on the east ^H4217.

18 “Then I commanded ^H6680 you at that time ^H6256, saying ^H559, ‘Yahweh ^H3068 your God ^H430 has given ^H5414 you this ^H2088 land ^H776 to possess ^H3423 it; all ^H3605 you men ^H1121 of valor ^H2428 shall cross ^H5674 over ^H5674 armed ^H2502 before ^H6440 your brothers ^H251, the sons ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478. 19 But your wives ^H802 and your little ^H2945 ones ^H2945 and your livestock ^H4735 (I know ^H3045 that you have much ^H7227 livestock ^H4735) shall remain ^H3427 in your cities ^H5892 which ^H834 I have given ^H5414 you, 20 until ^H5704 Yahweh ^H3068 gives ^H5117 rest ^H5117 to your brothers ^H251 as to you, and they also ^H1571 possess ^H3423 the land ^H776 which ^H834 Yahweh ^H3068 your God ^H430 will give ^H5414 them beyond ^H5676 the Jordan ^H3383. Then you may return ^H7725, every ^H376 man ^H376 to his possession ^H3425 which ^H834 I have given ^H5414 you.’ 21 And I commanded ^H6680 Joshua ^H3091 at that time ^H6256, saying ^H559, ‘Your eyes ^H5869 have seen ^H7200 all ^H3605 that Yahweh ^H3068 your God ^H430 has done ^H6213 to these ^H428 two ^H8147 kings ^H4428; so ^H3651 Yahweh ^H3068 shall do ^H6213 to all ^H3605 the kingdoms ^H4467 into which ^H834 you are about to cross ^H5674. 22 Do not fear ^H3372 them, for Yahweh ^H3068 your God ^H430 is the one fighting ^H3898 for you.’

Moses Pleads to Cross the Jordan

23 “I also pleaded ^H2603 with Yahweh ^H3068 at that time ^H6256, saying ^H559,

24 ‘O Lord ^H136 Yahweh ^H3068, You have begun ^H2490 to show ^H7200 Your slave ^H5650 Your greatness ^H1433 and Your strong ^H2389 hand ^H3027; for what ^H4310 god ^H410 is there in heaven ^H8064 or on earth ^H776 who ^H834 can do ^H6213 such works ^H4639 and mighty ^H1369 acts ^H1369 as Yours? 25 Let me, I pray ^H4994, cross ^H5674 over ^H5674 and see ^H7200 the good ^H2896 land ^H776 that is beyond ^H5676 the Jordan ^H3383, [fn]that good ^H2896 hill ^H2022 country ^H2022 and Lebanon ^H3844.’ 26 But Yahweh ^H3068 was ^H5674 angry ^H5674 with me on your account ^H4616 and would not listen ^H8085 to me; and Yahweh ^H3068 said ^H559 to me, ‘[fn]Enough ^H7227! Speak ^H1696 to Me no ^H408 more ^H3254 H5750 of this ^H2088 matter ^H1697. 27 Go ^H5927 up ^H5927 to the top ^H7218 of Pisgah ^H6449 and lift ^H5375 up ^H5375 your eyes ^H5869 to the west ^H3220 and north ^H6828 and south ^H8486 and east ^H4217, and see ^H7200 it with your eyes ^H5869, for you shall not cross ^H5674 over ^H5674 this ^H2088 Jordan ^H3383. 28 But command ^H6680 Joshua ^H3091 and strengthen ^H2388 him and encourage ^H553 him, for he shall go ^H5674 across ^H5674 [fn]at the head ^H6440 of this ^H2088 people ^H5971, and he will cause ^H5157 them to ^H5157 inherit ^H5157 the land ^H776 which ^H834 you will see ^H7200.’ 29 So we remained ^H3427 in the valley ^H1516 opposite ^H4136 Beth-peor ^H1047.
