24 Levantai-vos, e parti, e passai o ribeiro de Arnom; eis aqui na tua mão tenho dado a Seom, amorreu, rei de Hesbom, e a sua terra; começa a possuí-la e contende com eles em peleja. 25 Neste dia, começarei a pôr um terror e um temor de ti diante dos povos que estão debaixo de todo o céu; os que ouvirem a tua fama tremerão diante de ti e se angustiarão.

26 Então, mandei mensageiros desde o deserto de Quedemote a Seom, rei de Hesbom, com palavras de paz, dizendo: 27 Deixa-me passar pela tua terra; somente pela estrada irei; não me desviarei para a direita nem para a esquerda. 28 A comida que eu coma vender-me-ás por dinheiro e dar-me-ás por dinheiro a água que beba; tão somente deixa-me passar a pé, 29 como fizeram comigo os filhos de Esaú, que habitam em Seir, e os moabitas, que habitam em Ar; até que eu passe o Jordão, à terra que o Senhor, nosso Deus, nos há de dar. 30 Mas Seom, rei de Hesbom, não nos quis deixar passar por ele, porquanto o Senhor, teu Deus, endurecera o seu espírito e fizera obstinado o seu coração, para to dar na tua mão, como neste dia se vê. 31 E o Senhor me disse: Eis aqui, tenho começado a dar-te Seom e a sua terra diante de ti; começa, pois, a possuí-la, para que herdes a sua terra. 32 E Seom saiu-nos ao encontro, ele e todo o seu povo, à peleja, em Jaza. 33 E o Senhor, nosso Deus, no-lo deu diante de nós, e o ferimos, a ele, e a seus filhos, e a todo o seu povo. 34 E, naquele tempo, tomamos todas as suas cidades e destruímos todas as cidades, e homens, e mulheres, e crianças; não deixamos a ninguém. 35 Somente tomamos por presa o gado para nós e o despojo das cidades que tínhamos tomado. 36 Desde Aroer, que está à borda do ribeiro de Arnom, e a cidade que está junto ao ribeiro, até Gileade, nenhuma cidade houve que de nós escapasse; tudo isto o Senhor, nosso Deus, nos entregou diante de nós. 37 Somente à terra dos filhos de Amom não chegaste; nem a toda a borda do ribeiro de Jaboque, nem às cidades da montanha, nem a coisa alguma que nos proibira o Senhor, nosso Deus.

Moisés fala acerca de Ogue, rei de Basã

Depois, nos viramos e subimos o caminho de Basã; e Ogue, rei de Basã, nos saiu ao encontro, ele e todo o seu povo, à peleja em Edrei. Então, o Senhor me disse: Não o temas, porque a ele, e a todo o seu povo, e a sua terra tenho dado na tua mão; e far-lhe-ás como fizeste a Seom, rei dos amorreus, que habitava em Hesbom. E também o Senhor, nosso Deus, nos deu na nossa mão a Ogue, rei de Basã, e a todo o seu povo; de maneira que o ferimos, até que ninguém lhe ficou de restante. E, naquele tempo, tomamos todas as suas cidades; nenhuma cidade houve que lhe não tomássemos: sessenta cidades, toda a borda da terra de Argobe e o reino de Ogue, em Basã. Todas essas cidades eram fortificadas com altos muros, portas e ferrolhos; além de outras muitas cidades sem muros. E destruímo-las, como fizemos a Seom, rei de Hesbom, destruindo todas as cidades, homens, mulheres e crianças. Porém todo o gado e o despojo das cidades tomamos para nós por presa. Assim, naquele tempo, tomamos a terra da mão daqueles dois reis dos amorreus, que estavam dalém do Jordão: desde o rio Arnom até ao monte Hermom (os sidônios a Hermom chamam Siriom; porém os amorreus lhe chamam Senir), 10 todas as cidades da terra plana, e todo o Gileade, e todo o Basã até Salca, e Edrei, cidades do reino de Ogue, em Basã. 11 (Porque só Ogue, rei de Basã, ficou do resto dos gigantes; eis que o seu leito, um leito de ferro, não está porventura em Rabá dos filhos de Amom? De nove côvados o seu comprimento, e de quatro côvados a sua largura, pelo côvado de um homem.)

Defeat of Sihon King of Heshbon

24 “Set out now and cross the Arnon Gorge.(A) See, I have given into your hand Sihon the Amorite,(B) king of Heshbon, and his country. Begin to take possession of it and engage(C) him in battle. 25 This very day I will begin to put the terror(D) and fear(E) of you on all the nations under heaven. They will hear reports of you and will tremble(F) and be in anguish because of you.”

26 From the Desert of Kedemoth(G) I sent messengers to Sihon(H) king of Heshbon offering peace(I) and saying, 27 “Let us pass through your country. We will stay on the main road; we will not turn aside to the right or to the left.(J) 28 Sell us food to eat(K) and water to drink for their price in silver. Only let us pass through on foot(L) 29 as the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir, and the Moabites, who live in Ar, did for us—until we cross the Jordan into the land the Lord our God is giving us.” 30 But Sihon king of Heshbon refused to let us pass through. For the Lord(M) your God had made his spirit stubborn(N) and his heart obstinate(O) in order to give him into your hands,(P) as he has now done.

31 The Lord said to me, “See, I have begun to deliver Sihon and his country over to you. Now begin to conquer and possess his land.”(Q)

32 When Sihon and all his army came out to meet us in battle(R) at Jahaz, 33 the Lord our God delivered(S) him over to us and we struck him down,(T) together with his sons and his whole army. 34 At that time we took all his towns and completely destroyed[a](U) them—men, women and children. We left no survivors. 35 But the livestock(V) and the plunder(W) from the towns we had captured we carried off for ourselves. 36 From Aroer(X) on the rim of the Arnon Gorge, and from the town in the gorge, even as far as Gilead,(Y) not one town was too strong for us. The Lord our God gave(Z) us all of them. 37 But in accordance with the command of the Lord our God,(AA) you did not encroach on any of the land of the Ammonites,(AB) neither the land along the course of the Jabbok(AC) nor that around the towns in the hills.

Defeat of Og King of Bashan

Next we turned and went up along the road toward Bashan, and Og king of Bashan(AD) with his whole army marched out to meet us in battle at Edrei.(AE) The Lord said to me, “Do not be afraid(AF) of him, for I have delivered him into your hands, along with his whole army and his land. Do to him what you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon.”

So the Lord our God also gave into our hands Og king of Bashan and all his army. We struck them down,(AG) leaving no survivors.(AH) At that time we took all his cities.(AI) There was not one of the sixty cities that we did not take from them—the whole region of Argob, Og’s kingdom(AJ) in Bashan.(AK) All these cities were fortified with high walls and with gates and bars, and there were also a great many unwalled villages. We completely destroyed[b] them, as we had done with Sihon king of Heshbon, destroying[c](AL) every city—men, women and children. But all the livestock(AM) and the plunder from their cities we carried off for ourselves.

So at that time we took from these two kings of the Amorites(AN) the territory east of the Jordan, from the Arnon Gorge as far as Mount Hermon.(AO) (Hermon is called Sirion(AP) by the Sidonians; the Amorites call it Senir.)(AQ) 10 We took all the towns on the plateau, and all Gilead, and all Bashan as far as Salekah(AR) and Edrei, towns of Og’s kingdom in Bashan. 11 (Og king of Bashan was the last of the Rephaites.(AS) His bed was decorated with iron and was more than nine cubits long and four cubits wide.[d] It is still in Rabbah(AT) of the Ammonites.)

24 Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass over the river Arnon: behold, I have given into thine hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land: begin to possess it, and contend with him in battle.

25 This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the nations that are under the whole heaven, who shall hear report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee.

26 And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,

27 Let me pass through thy land: I will go along by the high way, I will neither turn unto the right hand nor to the left.

28 Thou shalt sell me meat for money, that I may eat; and give me water for money, that I may drink: only I will pass through on my feet;

29 (As the children of Esau which dwell in Seir, and the Moabites which dwell in Ar, did unto me;) until I shall pass over Jordan into the land which the Lord our God giveth us.

30 But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him: for the Lord thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into thy hand, as appeareth this day.

31 And the Lord said unto me, Behold, I have begun to give Sihon and his land before thee: begin to possess, that thou mayest inherit his land.

32 Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to fight at Jahaz.

33 And the Lord our God delivered him before us; and we smote him, and his sons, and all his people.

34 And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed the men, and the women, and the little ones, of every city, we left none to remain:

35 Only the cattle we took for a prey unto ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we took.

36 From Aroer, which is by the brink of the river of Arnon, and from the city that is by the river, even unto Gilead, there was not one city too strong for us: the Lord our God delivered all unto us:

37 Only unto the land of the children of Ammon thou camest not, nor unto any place of the river Jabbok, nor unto the cities in the mountains, nor unto whatsoever the Lord our God forbad us.

Then we turned, and went up the way to Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei.

And the Lord said unto me, Fear him not: for I will deliver him, and all his people, and his land, into thy hand; and thou shalt do unto him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.

So the Lord our God delivered into our hands Og also, the king of Bashan, and all his people: and we smote him until none was left to him remaining.

And we took all his cities at that time, there was not a city which we took not from them, threescore cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.

All these cities were fenced with high walls, gates, and bars; beside unwalled towns a great many.

And we utterly destroyed them, as we did unto Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, women, and children, of every city.

But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, we took for a prey to ourselves.

And we took at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites the land that was on this side Jordan, from the river of Arnon unto mount Hermon;

(Which Hermon the Sidonians call Sirion; and the Amorites call it Shenir;)

10 All the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, unto Salchah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.

11 For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of giants; behold his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is it not in Rabbath of the children of Ammon? nine cubits was the length thereof, and four cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man.

24 ‘Rise up, set out on your journey and (A)go over the Valley of the Arnon. Behold, I have given into your hand Sihon the Amorite, king of (B)Heshbon, and his land. Begin to take possession, and (C)contend with him in battle. 25 This day I will begin to put (D)the dread and fear of you on the peoples who are under the whole heaven, who shall hear the report of you and shall tremble and be in anguish because of you.’

The Defeat of King Sihon

26 “So I sent messengers from the wilderness of (E)Kedemoth to Sihon the king of (F)Heshbon, (G)with words of peace, saying, 27 (H)‘Let me pass through your land. I will go only by the road; I will turn aside neither to the right nor to the left. 28 (I)You shall sell me food for money, that I may eat, and give me water for money, that I may drink. Only let me pass through on foot, 29 (J)as the sons of Esau who live in Seir and the Moabites who live in Ar did for me, until I go over the Jordan into the land that the Lord our God is giving to us.’ 30 But (K)Sihon the king of (L)Heshbon would not let us pass by him, for the Lord your God (M)hardened his spirit and made his heart obstinate, that he might give him into your hand, as he is this day. 31 And the Lord said to me, ‘Behold, I have begun to give Sihon and his land over to you. Begin to take possession, that you may occupy his land.’ 32 Then (N)Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Jahaz. 33 And (O)the Lord our God gave him over to us, and (P)we defeated him and his sons and all his people. 34 And we captured all his cities at that time and devoted to destruction[a] every (Q)city, men, women, and children. We left no survivors. 35 Only the livestock we took as spoil for ourselves, with the plunder of the cities that we captured. 36 (R)From Aroer, which is on the edge of the Valley of the Arnon, and from (S)the city that is in the valley, as far as Gilead, there was not a city too high for us. (T)The Lord our God gave all into our hands. 37 Only to the land of the sons of Ammon you did not draw near, that is, to all the banks of the river (U)Jabbok and the cities of the hill country, whatever the Lord our God had forbidden us.

The Defeat of King Og

“Then we turned and went up the way to Bashan. And (V)Og the king of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at (W)Edrei. But the Lord said to me, ‘Do not fear him, for I have given him and all his people and his land into your hand. And you shall do to him as you did to (X)Sihon the king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon.’ So the Lord our God gave into our hand Og also, the king of Bashan, and all his people, (Y)and we struck him down until he had no survivor left. And we took all his cities at that time—there was not a city that we did not take from them—sixty cities, (Z)the whole region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan. All these were cities fortified with high walls, gates, and bars, besides very many unwalled villages. And (AA)we devoted them to destruction,[b] as we did to Sihon the king of Heshbon, devoting to destruction every (AB)city, men, women, and children. But all the livestock and the spoil of the cities we took as our plunder. So we took the land at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, from the Valley of the Arnon to Mount Hermon (the Sidonians call (AC)Hermon (AD)Sirion, while the Amorites call it (AE)Senir), 10 all the cities of the (AF)tableland and all Gilead and all Bashan, as far as (AG)Salecah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan. 11 (For (AH)only Og the king of Bashan was left of the remnant of (AI)the Rephaim. Behold, his bed was a bed of iron. Is it not in (AJ)Rabbah of the Ammonites? Nine cubits[c] was its length, and four cubits its breadth, according to the (AK)common cubit.[d])
