Deuteronomio 3
Nueva Versión Internacional
Derrota de Og, rey de Basán
3 Cuando volvíamos, tomamos el camino de Basán; entonces el rey Og, que gobernaba ese país, salió con su ejército para hacernos frente en Edrey. 2 Pero el Señor me dijo: «No le tengas miedo, porque voy a entregar en tus manos a Og con su ejército y su territorio. Harás con él lo mismo que hiciste con Sijón, el rey de los amorreos, que vivía en Hesbón».
3 Y así sucedió. El Señor nuestro Dios también entregó en nuestras manos al rey de Basán y a todo su ejército. Los derrotamos hasta no dejar sobreviviente. 4 En aquella ocasión conquistamos todas sus ciudades. Nos apoderamos de las sesenta ciudades que se encontraban en la región de Argob, del reino de Og en Basán. 5 Todas esas ciudades estaban fortificadas con murallas altas, con portones y barras, sin contar las muchas aldeas no amuralladas. 6 Tal como hicimos con Sijón, rey de Hesbón, destruimos por completo las ciudades con sus varones, mujeres y niños, 7 pero nos quedamos con todo el ganado y el botín de sus ciudades.
8 Fue así como en aquella ocasión nos apoderamos del territorio de esos dos reyes amorreos, es decir, de toda la porción al este del Jordán, desde el arroyo Arnón hasta el monte Hermón, 9 al que los sidonios llaman Sirión y los amorreos Senir. 10 También nos apoderamos de todas las ciudades de la meseta, todo Galaad y todo Basán, hasta Salcá y Edrey, ciudades del reino de Og en Basán. 11 Por cierto, el rey Og de Basán fue el último de los refaítas. Su cama[a] era de hierro y medía nueve codos de largo y cuatro codos de ancho.[b] Todavía está en Rabá de los amonitas.
División de la tierra
12 Una vez que nos apoderamos de esa tierra, a los rubenitas y a los gaditas les entregué el territorio que está al norte de Aroer, junto al arroyo Arnón, también la mitad de la región montañosa de Galaad con sus ciudades. 13 El resto de Galaad y todo el reino de Og, es decir, Basán, se los entregué a la media tribu de Manasés. Ahora bien, a toda la región de Argob en Basán se la conocía como la tierra de los refaítas. 14 Yaír, uno de los descendientes de Manasés, se apoderó de toda la región de Argob hasta la frontera de los guesureos y los macateos, y a esa región de Basán le puso su propio nombre, llamándola Javot Yaír,[c] nombre que retiene hasta el día de hoy. 15 A Maquir le entregué Galaad, 16 a los rubenitas y a los gaditas les entregué el territorio que se extiende desde Galaad hasta el centro del arroyo Arnón y hasta el río Jaboc, que marca la frontera de los amonitas. 17 Su frontera occidental era el Jordán en el Arabá, desde el lago Quinéret[d] hasta el mar del Arabá, que es el mar Muerto, en las laderas del monte Pisgá, al oriente.
18 En aquel tiempo di esta orden: «El Señor su Dios les ha dado posesión de esta tierra. Ustedes, los hombres fuertes y guerreros, pasen al otro lado al frente de sus hermanos israelitas. 19 En las ciudades que les he entregado permanecerán solamente sus mujeres, sus niños y el mucho ganado que yo sé que ustedes tienen. 20 No podrán volver al territorio que les he entregado hasta que el Señor haya dado reposo a sus hermanos, como se lo ha dado a ustedes, y hasta que ellos hayan tomado posesión de la tierra que el Señor su Dios les entregará al otro lado del Jordán».
Instrucciones a Josué
21 En aquel tiempo ordené a Josué: «Con tus propios ojos has visto todo lo que el Señor, el Dios de ustedes, ha hecho con esos dos reyes. Y lo mismo hará con todos los reinos por donde vas a pasar. 22 No les tengan miedo, que el Señor su Dios pelea por ustedes».
Dios prohíbe a Moisés cruzar el Jordán
23 En aquella ocasión supliqué al Señor: 24 «Tú, Señor y Dios, has comenzado a mostrarle a tu siervo tu grandeza y tu poder; pues ¿qué dios hay en el cielo o en la tierra capaz de hacer las obras y los prodigios que tú realizas? 25 Déjame pasar y ver la buena tierra al otro lado del Jordán, esa hermosa región montañosa y el Líbano».
26 Pero por causa de ustedes el Señor se enojó conmigo y no me escuchó, sino que me dijo: «¡Basta ya! No me hables más de este asunto. 27 Sube hasta la cumbre del Pisgá y mira al norte, al sur, al este y al oeste. Contempla la tierra con tus propios ojos, porque no vas a cruzar este río Jordán. 28 Dale a Josué las debidas instrucciones; anímalo y fortalécelo, porque será él quien pasará al frente de este pueblo y quien les dará en posesión la tierra que vas a ver».
29 Y permanecimos en el valle, frente a Bet Peor.
Deuteronomy 3
Amplified Bible
Conquests Recounted
3 “Then we turned and went up the road toward Bashan, and at Edrei, Og king of Bashan, with all his people came out to meet us in battle. 2 And the Lord said to me, ‘Do not fear him, for I have handed him over to you, him and all his people and his land; and you shall do to him just as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon.’ 3 So the Lord our God also handed over Og king of Bashan, and all his people, into our hand and we struck him until no survivor was left. 4 We captured all his cities at that time; there was not a city which we did not take from them: sixty cities, the whole region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan. 5 All these cities were fortified and unassailable with their high walls, gates, and bars; in addition, [there were] a very great number of unwalled villages. 6 We utterly destroyed them, just as we did to Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying every city—the men, women, and children. 7 But we took all the cattle and the spoil of the cities as plunder for ourselves.
8 “So we took the land at that time from the hand of the two kings [Sihon and Og] of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, from the valley of the Arnon to Mount Hermon 9 (the Sidonians call Hermon Sirion, and the Amorites call it Senir): 10 all the cities of the plain and all Gilead and all 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 [the giants known as the] Rephaim. Behold, his bed frame was a bed frame of iron; is it not in [a]Rabbah of the Ammonites? It was nine cubits (12 ft.) long and four cubits (6 ft.) wide, using the cubit of a man [the forearm to the end of the middle finger].)
12 “So we took possession of this land at that time. I gave the territory from Aroer, which is by the valley of the Arnon, along with half of the hill country of Gilead and its cities to the Reubenites and to the Gadites. 13 The rest of Gilead and all of Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I gave to the half-tribe of Manasseh, that is, all the region of Argob (concerning all Bashan, it is called the land of Rephaim. 14 Jair the son (descendant) of Manasseh took all the region of Argob as far as the border of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, that is Bashan, and called it after his own name, Havvoth (the villages of) Jair, as it is called to this day.) 15 I gave Gilead to Machir [of Manasseh]. 16 To the Reubenites and Gadites I gave the territory from Gilead as far as the Valley of Arnon, with the middle of the Valley as a boundary, and as far as the Jabbok River, the boundary of the sons of Ammon; 17 the Arabah also, with the Jordan as its boundary, from Chinnereth (the Sea of Galilee) as far as the sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea (Dead Sea), at the foot of the slopes of Pisgah on the east.
18 “Then I commanded you [Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh] at that time, saying, ‘The Lord your God has given you this land to possess; all you who are brave men shall cross over [the Jordan] armed before your brothers, the sons of Israel. 19 But your wives and your children and your cattle—I know that you have much livestock—shall remain in your cities which I have given you, 20 until the Lord gives rest to your fellow countrymen as [He has] to you, and they also possess the land which the Lord your God has given them beyond the Jordan. Then each of you may return to the land (possession) which I have given to you.’ 21 I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, ‘Your eyes have seen everything that the Lord your God has done to these two kings [Sihon and Og]; so the Lord shall do the same to all the kingdoms into which you are about to cross. 22 Do not fear them, for it is the Lord your God who is fighting for you.’
23 “Then I pleaded with the Lord at that time [for His favor], saying, 24 ‘O Lord God, You have only begun to show Your servant Your greatness and Your mighty hand; for what god is there in heaven or on earth that can do such works and mighty acts (miracles) as Yours? 25 I pray, let me go over and see the good land that is beyond the Jordan, that good hill country [with Hermon] and Lebanon.’ 26 But the Lord was angry with me because of you [and your rebellion at Meribah], and would not listen to me; and the Lord said to me, ‘Enough! Speak to Me no longer about this matter.(A) 27 Go up to the top of [Mount] Pisgah and raise your eyes toward the west and north and south and east, and see it with your eyes, for you shall not cross this Jordan. 28 But command Joshua and encourage and strengthen him, for he shall go across and lead this people, and he will give them the land which you see as an inheritance.’ 29 So we stayed in the Valley opposite Beth-peor.
Footnotes
- Deuteronomy 3:11 If this refers to Og’s actual bed frame (the same Hebrew word can mean “coffin”), it may have been displayed in Rabbah as an Ammonite trophy of war. Its size is impressive, though not an accurate way to determine Og’s height since any important man might have an unusually large bed as a symbol of his power or wealth. Concerning the name of the city, Ptolemy II Philadelphus of Egypt (309-246 b.c.) changed the name of Rabbah to Philadelphia during his reign (283-246 b.c.). Today Amman, capital city of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, is located in the area of this ancient site.
Deuteronomy 3
New King James Version
King Og Defeated(A)
3 “Then we turned and went up the road to Bashan; and (B)Og king of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, to battle (C)at Edrei. 2 And the Lord said to me, ‘Do not fear him, for I have delivered him and all his people and his land into your hand; you shall do to him as you did to (D)Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon.’
3 “So the Lord our God also delivered into our hands Og king of Bashan, with all his people, and we [a]attacked him until he had no survivors remaining. 4 And we took all his cities at that time; there was not a city which we did not take from them: sixty cities, (E)all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan. 5 All these cities were fortified with high walls, gates, and bars, besides a great many rural towns. 6 And we utterly destroyed them, as we did to Sihon king (F)of Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, women, and children of every city. 7 But all the livestock and the spoil of the cities we took as booty for ourselves.
8 “And at that time we took the (G)land from the hand of the two kings of the Amorites who were on this side of the Jordan, from the River Arnon to Mount (H)Hermon 9 (the Sidonians call (I)Hermon Sirion, and the Amorites call it Senir), 10 (J)all the cities of the plain, all Gilead, and (K)all Bashan, as far as Salcah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
11 (L)“For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of (M)the [b]giants. Indeed his bedstead was an iron bedstead. (Is it not in (N)Rabbah of the people of Ammon?) Nine cubits is its length and four cubits its width, according to the standard cubit.
The Land East of the Jordan Divided(O)
12 “And this (P)land, which we possessed at that time, (Q)from Aroer, which is by the River Arnon, and half the mountains of Gilead and (R)its cities, I gave to the Reubenites and the Gadites. 13 (S)The rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I gave to half the tribe of Manasseh. (All the region of Argob, with all Bashan, was called the land of the [c]giants. 14 (T)Jair the son of Manasseh took all the region of Argob, (U)as far as the border of the Geshurites and the Maachathites, and (V)called Bashan after his own name, [d]Havoth Jair, to this day.)
15 “Also I gave (W)Gilead to Machir. 16 And to the Reubenites (X)and the Gadites I gave from Gilead as far as the River Arnon, the middle of the river as the border, as far as the River Jabbok, (Y)the border of the people of Ammon; 17 the plain also, with the Jordan as the border, from Chinnereth (Z)as far as the east side of the Sea of the Arabah (AA)(the Salt Sea), below the slopes of Pisgah.
18 “Then I commanded you at that time, saying: ‘The Lord your God has given you this land to possess. (AB)All you men of valor shall cross over armed before your brethren, the children of Israel. 19 But your wives, your little ones, and your livestock (I know that you have much livestock) shall stay in your cities which I have given you, 20 until the Lord has given (AC)rest to your brethren as to you, and they also possess the land which the Lord your God is giving them beyond the Jordan. Then each of you may (AD)return to his possession which I have given you.’
21 “And (AE)I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, ‘Your eyes have seen all that the Lord your God has done to these two kings; so will the Lord do to all the kingdoms through which you pass. 22 You must not fear them, for (AF)the Lord your God Himself fights for you.’
Moses Forbidden to Enter the Land
23 “Then (AG)I pleaded with the Lord at that time, saying: 24 ‘O Lord God, You have begun to show Your servant (AH)Your greatness and Your [e]mighty hand, for (AI)what god is there in heaven or on earth who can do anything like Your works and Your mighty deeds? 25 I pray, let me cross over and see (AJ)the good land beyond the Jordan, those pleasant mountains, and Lebanon.’
26 “But the Lord (AK)was angry with me on your account, and would not listen to me. So the Lord said to me: ‘Enough of that! Speak no more to Me of this matter. 27 (AL)Go up to the top of Pisgah, and lift your eyes toward the west, the north, the south, and the east; behold it with your eyes, for you shall not cross over this Jordan. 28 But (AM)command[f] Joshua, and encourage him and strengthen him; for he shall go over before this people, and he shall cause them to inherit the land which you will see.’
29 “So we stayed in (AN)the valley opposite Beth Peor.
