Deuteronomy 3
English Standard Version
The Defeat of King Og
3 “Then we turned and went up the way to Bashan. And (A)Og the king of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at (B)Edrei. 2 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 (C)Sihon the king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon.’ 3 So the Lord our God gave into our hand Og also, the king of Bashan, and all his people, (D)and we struck him down until he had no survivor left. 4 And we took all his cities at that time—there was not a city that we did not take from them—sixty cities, (E)the whole region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan. 5 All these were cities fortified with high walls, gates, and bars, besides very many unwalled villages. 6 And (F)we devoted them to destruction,[a] as we did to Sihon the king of Heshbon, devoting to destruction every (G)city, men, women, and children. 7 But all the livestock and the spoil of the cities we took as our plunder. 8 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 9 (the Sidonians call (H)Hermon (I)Sirion, while the Amorites call it (J)Senir), 10 all the cities of the (K)tableland and all Gilead and all Bashan, as far as (L)Salecah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan. 11 (For (M)only Og the king of Bashan was left of the remnant of (N)the Rephaim. Behold, his bed was a bed of iron. Is it not in (O)Rabbah of the Ammonites? Nine cubits[b] was its length, and four cubits its breadth, according to the (P)common cubit.[c])
12 “When we took possession of this land at that time, I gave to the Reubenites and the Gadites the territory beginning (Q)at Aroer, which is on the edge of the Valley of the Arnon, and half the hill country of Gilead with (R)its cities. 13 (S)The rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, that is, (T)all the region of Argob, I gave to the half-tribe of Manasseh. (All that portion of Bashan is called the land of (U)Rephaim. 14 (V)Jair the Manassite took all the region of Argob, that is, Bashan, as far as the border of (W)the Geshurites and the Maacathites, and called the villages (X)after his own name, Havvoth-jair, as it is to this day.) 15 To Machir (Y)I gave Gilead, 16 and to the Reubenites (Z)and the Gadites I gave the territory from Gilead as far as the Valley of the Arnon, with the middle of the valley as a border, as far over as the river Jabbok, (AA)the border of the Ammonites; 17 the Arabah also, with the Jordan as the border, from (AB)Chinnereth as far as (AC)the Sea of the Arabah, (AD)the Salt Sea, under (AE)the slopes of Pisgah on the east.
18 “And I commanded you at that time, saying, ‘The Lord your God has given you this land to possess. (AF)All your men of valor shall cross over armed before your brothers, the people of Israel. 19 Only your wives, your little ones, and your livestock (AG)(I know that you have much livestock) shall remain in the cities that I have given you, 20 (AH)until the Lord gives rest to your brothers, as to you, and they also occupy the land that the Lord your God gives them beyond the Jordan. Then each of you may return to his possession which I have given you.’ 21 And I commanded (AI)Joshua at that time, ‘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 into which you are crossing. 22 You shall not fear them, for it is (AJ)the Lord your God who fights for you.’
Moses Forbidden to Enter the Land
23 “And I pleaded with the Lord at that time, saying, 24 ‘O Lord God, you have only begun to show your servant (AK)your greatness and your mighty hand. For (AL)what god is there in heaven or on earth who can do such works and mighty acts as yours? 25 Please let me go over and see (AM)the good land beyond the Jordan, that good hill country and (AN)Lebanon.’ 26 But (AO)the Lord was angry with me because of you and would not listen to me. And the Lord said to me, (AP)‘Enough from you; do not speak to me of this matter again. 27 (AQ)Go up to the top of Pisgah and lift up your eyes westward and northward and southward and eastward, and look at it with your eyes, for you shall not go over this Jordan. 28 But (AR)charge Joshua, and encourage and strengthen him, for he shall go over at the head of this people, and he shall put them in possession of the land that you shall see.’ 29 So we remained in (AS)the valley opposite Beth-peor.

3 Sedan vände vi oss åt annat håll och drogo upp åt Basan till. Och Og, konungen i Basan, drog med allt sitt folk ut i strid mot oss, till Edrei.
2 Men HERREN sade till mig: »Frukta icke för honom, ty i din hand har jag givit honom och allt hans folk och honom på samma sätt som du gjorde med Sihon, amoréernas konung, som bodde i Hesbon.»
3 Så gav HERREN, vår GUD, i vår hand också Og, konungen i Basan, och allt hans folk, och vi slogo honom och läto ingen av dem slippa undan.
4 Och vi intogo då alla hans städer, ingen stad fanns, som vi icke togo ifrån dem: sextio städer, hela landsträckan Argob, Ogs rike i Basan.
5 Alla dessa städer voro befästa med höga murar, med portar och bommar. Därtill kom en stor mängd småstäder.
6 Och vi gåvo dem till spillo, likasom vi hade gjort med Sihon, konungen i Hesbon; hela den manliga stadsbefolkningen gåvo vi till spillo, så ock kvinnor och barn.
7 Men all boskapen och rovet från städerna togo vi såsom byte.
8 Från amoréernas två konungar, som härskade på andra sidan Jordan, togo vi alltså då deras land, från bäcken Arnon ända till berget Hermon
9 -- vilket av sidonierna kallas för Sirjon, men av amoréerna kallas för Senir --
10 alla städerna på slätten och hela Gilead och hela Basan, ända till Salka och Edrei, städerna i Ogs rike, i Basan.
11 Ty Og, konungen i Basan, var den ende som fanns kvar av de sista rafaéerna; hans gravkista, gjord av basalt, finnes, såsom känt är, i Rabba i Ammons barns land; den är nio alnar lång och fyra alnar bred, alnen beräknad efter längden av en mans underarm.
12 När vi då hade intagit detta land, gav jag den del därav, som sträcker sig från Aroer vid bäcken Arnon, samt hälften av Gileads bergsbygd med dess städer åt rubeniterna och gaditerna.
13 Återstoden av Gilead och hela Basan, Ogs rike, gav jag åt ena hälften av Manasse stam, hela landsträckan Argob, hela Basan; detta kallas rafaéernas land.
14 Jair, Manasses son, fick hela landsträckan Argob, ända till gesuréernas och maakatéernas område, och efter sitt eget namn kallade han landet -- nämligen Basan -- för Jairs byar, såsom det heter ännu i dag.
15 Och åt Makir gav jag Gilead.
16 Och åt rubeniterna och gaditerna gav jag landet från Gilead ända till Arnons dal, till dalens mitt -- den utgjorde gränsen -- och till bäcken Jabbok, som är Ammons barns gräns,
17 vidare Hedmarken med Jordan, som utgör gränsen, från Kinneret ända till Pisgas sluttningar, på östra sidan.
18 Och jag bjöd eder på den tiden och sade: »HERREN, eder Gud, har givit eder detta land till besittning. Men nu skolen alla I som ären stridbara män draga väpnade åstad i spetsen för edra bröder, Israels barn.
19 Allenast edra hustrur och barn och eder boskap -- jag vet ju att I haven mycken boskap -- må stanna kvar i de städer som jag har givit eder,
20 till dess att HERREN har låtit edra bröder komma till ro, såväl som eder, när också de hava tagit i besittning det land som HERREN, eder Gud, vill giva dem på andra sidan Jordan; sedan mån I vända tillbaka till de besittningar jag har givit eder, var och en till sin besittning.»
21 Och jag bjöd Josua på den tiden och sade: »Du har med egna ögon sett allt vad HERREN, eder Gud, har gjort med dessa två konungar. På samma sätt skall HERREN göra med alla riken där du drager fram.
22 Frukten icke för dem, ty HERREN, eder Gud, skall själv strida för eder.»
23 Och på den tiden bad jag till HERREN och sade:
24 »Herre, HERRE, du har begynt att låta sin tjänare se din storhet och din starka hand; ty vilken är den gud i himmelen eller på jorden, som kan göra sådana verk och sådana väldiga gärningar som du?
25 Så låt mig nu få gå ditöver och se det goda landet på andra sidan Jordan, det goda berglandet där och Libanon.»
26 Men HERREN hade blivit förgrymmad på mig för eder skull och ville icke höra mig, utan sade till mig: »Låt det vara nog; tala icke vidare till mig om denna sak.
27 Stig nu upp på toppen av Pisga, och lyft upp dina ögon mot väster och norr och söder och öster, och se med dina ögon; ty över denna Jordan skall du icke komma.
28 Och insätt Josua i hans ämbete, och styrk honom att vara frimodig och oförfärad; ty det är han som skall gå ditöver i spetsen för detta folk, och det är han som skall utskifta åt dem såsom arv det land du ser.»
29 Och så stannade vi i dalen mitt emot Bet-Peor.
Deuteronomy 3
New International Version
Defeat of Og King of Bashan
3 Next we turned and went up along the road toward Bashan, and Og king of Bashan(A) with his whole army marched out to meet us in battle at Edrei.(B) 2 The Lord said to me, “Do not be afraid(C) 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.”
3 So the Lord our God also gave into our hands Og king of Bashan and all his army. We struck them down,(D) leaving no survivors.(E) 4 At that time we took all his cities.(F) There was not one of the sixty cities that we did not take from them—the whole region of Argob, Og’s kingdom(G) in Bashan.(H) 5 All these cities were fortified with high walls and with gates and bars, and there were also a great many unwalled villages. 6 We completely destroyed[a] them, as we had done with Sihon king of Heshbon, destroying[b](I) every city—men, women and children. 7 But all the livestock(J) and the plunder from their cities we carried off for ourselves.
8 So at that time we took from these two kings of the Amorites(K) the territory east of the Jordan, from the Arnon Gorge as far as Mount Hermon.(L) 9 (Hermon is called Sirion(M) by the Sidonians; the Amorites call it Senir.)(N) 10 We took all the towns on the plateau, and all Gilead, and all Bashan as far as Salekah(O) and Edrei, towns of Og’s kingdom in Bashan. 11 (Og king of Bashan was the last of the Rephaites.(P) His bed was decorated with iron and was more than nine cubits long and four cubits wide.[c] It is still in Rabbah(Q) of the Ammonites.)
Division of the Land
12 Of the land that we took over at that time, I gave the Reubenites and the Gadites the territory north of Aroer(R) by the Arnon Gorge, including half the hill country of Gilead, together with its towns. 13 The rest of Gilead and also all of Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I gave to the half-tribe of Manasseh.(S) (The whole region of Argob in Bashan used to be known as a land of the Rephaites.(T) 14 Jair,(U) a descendant of Manasseh, took the whole region of Argob as far as the border of the Geshurites and the Maakathites;(V) it was named(W) after him, so that to this day Bashan is called Havvoth Jair.[d]) 15 And I gave Gilead to Makir.(X) 16 But to the Reubenites and the Gadites I gave the territory extending from Gilead down to the Arnon Gorge (the middle of the gorge being the border) and out to the Jabbok River,(Y) which is the border of the Ammonites. 17 Its western border was the Jordan in the Arabah,(Z) from Kinnereth(AA) to the Sea of the Arabah(AB) (that is, the Dead Sea(AC)), below the slopes of Pisgah.
18 I commanded you at that time: “The Lord your God has given(AD) you this land to take possession of it. But all your able-bodied men, armed for battle, must cross over ahead of the other Israelites.(AE) 19 However, your wives,(AF) your children and your livestock(AG) (I know you have much livestock) may stay in the towns I have given you, 20 until the Lord gives rest to your fellow Israelites as he has to you, and they too have taken over the land that the Lord your God is giving them across the Jordan. After that, each of you may go back to the possession I have given you.”
Moses Forbidden to Cross the Jordan
21 At that time I commanded Joshua: “You have seen with your own eyes all that the Lord your God has done to these two kings. The Lord will do the same to all the kingdoms over there where you are going. 22 Do not be afraid(AH) of them;(AI) the Lord your God himself will fight(AJ) for you.”
23 At that time I pleaded(AK) with the Lord: 24 “Sovereign Lord, you have begun to show to your servant your greatness(AL) and your strong hand. For what god(AM) is there in heaven or on earth who can do the deeds and mighty works(AN) you do?(AO) 25 Let me go over and see the good land(AP) beyond the Jordan—that fine hill country and Lebanon.(AQ)”
26 But because of you the Lord was angry(AR) with me and would not listen to me. “That is enough,” the Lord said. “Do not speak to me anymore about this matter. 27 Go up to the top of Pisgah(AS) and look west and north and south and east.(AT) Look at the land with your own eyes, since you are not going to cross(AU) this Jordan.(AV) 28 But commission(AW) Joshua, and encourage(AX) and strengthen him, for he will lead this people across(AY) and will cause them to inherit the land that you will see.” 29 So we stayed in the valley near Beth Peor.(AZ)
