Deuteronomy 3
Complete Jewish Bible
3 “Then we turned and went up the road to Bashan, and ‘Og the king of Bashan came out against us with all his people to fight at Edre‘i. 2 Adonai said to me, ‘Don’t be afraid of him; for I have handed him, all his people and his territory over to you; you will do to him as you did to Sichon king of the Emori, who lived at Heshbon.’ 3 So Adonai our God also handed over to us ‘Og the king of Bashan with all his people, and we defeated him until he had no one left. 4 At that time we captured all his cities; there was not one city of theirs that we didn’t capture. There were sixty cities, all the region of Argov, the kingdom of ‘Og in Bashan; 5 all of them fortified cities with high walls, gates and bars — in addition to a great number of unwalled towns. 6 We completely destroyed them, as we did with Sichon king of Heshbon, annihilating every city —men, women and little ones. 7 But we took all the livestock, along with the spoil from the cities, as booty for ourselves.
8 “At that time we captured the territory of the two kings of the Emori east of the Yarden between the Arnon Valley and Mount Hermon,” 9 the Hermon which the Tzidonim call Siryon and the Emori call S’nir, 10 “all the cities of the plain, all Gil‘ad and all Bashan, as far as Salkhah and Edre‘i, cities of the kingdom of ‘Og in Bashan.” 11 ‘Og king of Bashan was the last survivor of the Refa’im. His bed was made of iron; it is still in Rabbah with the people of ‘Amon. It was nine cubits long and four cubits wide, using the normal cubit [thirteen-and-a-half by six feet].
12 “Of this land that we took possession of then, I assigned to the Re’uveni and the Gadi the territory extending from ‘Aro‘er along the Arnon Valley together with half the hill-country of Gil‘ad, including its cities. 13 The rest of Gil‘ad and all Bashan, the kingdom of ‘Og, I gave to the half-tribe of M’nasheh.”
The whole region of Argov together with all of Bashan form what is called the land of Refa’im. 14 Ya’ir the son of M’nasheh took all the region of Argov, as far as the border with the G’shuri and the Ma‘akhati; he named this whole area, including Bashan, after himself — it remains Havot-Ya’ir to this day.
(vii) 15 “I gave Gil‘ad to Machir; 16 and to the Re’uveni and the Gadi I gave the territory from Gil‘ad to the Arnon Valley, with the middle of the valley as the border, as far as the Yabok River, which is the border with the people of ‘Amon; 17 the ‘Aravah too, the Yarden being its border, from Kinneret to the Sea of the ‘Aravah, the Dead Sea, at the foot of the slopes of Pisgah to the east.
18 “At that time I gave you this order: ‘Adonai your God has given you this land to possess. But all of you who are fit to fight must cross over, armed, ahead of your brothers the people of Isra’el. 19 Your wives, your little ones and your livestock — I know you have much livestock — will stay in your cities which I have given you, (Maftir) 20 until Adonai allows your brothers to rest, as he has allowed you; and they too take possession of the land Adonai your God is giving them on the west side of the Yarden. At that point you will return, each man to his own possession which I have given you.’
21 “Also at that time I gave this order to Y’hoshua: ‘Your eyes have seen everything that Adonai your God has done to these two kings. Adonai will do the same to all the kingdoms you encounter when you cross over. 22 Don’t be afraid of them, because Adonai your God will fight on your behalf.’
Haftarah D’varim: Yesha‘yahu (Isaiah) 1:1–27
B’rit Hadashah suggested readings for Parashah D’varim: Yochanan (John) 15:1–11; Messianic Jews (Hebrews) 3:7–4:11
Parashah 45: Va’etchanan (I pleaded) 3:23–7:11
23 “Then I pleaded with Adonai, 24 ‘Adonai Elohim, you have begun to reveal your greatness to your servant, and your strong hand — for what other god is there in heaven or on earth that can do the works and mighty deeds that you do? 25 Please! Let me go across and see the good land on the other side of the Yarden, that wonderful hill-country and the L’vanon!’ 26 But Adonai was angry with me on account of you, and he didn’t listen to me. Adonai said to me, ‘Enough from you! Don’t say another word to me about this matter! 27 Climb up to the top of Pisgah and look out to the west, north, south and east. Look with your eyes — but you will not go across this Yarden. 28 However, commission Y’hoshua, encourage him and strengthen him; for he will lead this people across and enable them to inherit the land that you will see.’ 29 So we stayed in the valley across from Beit-P‘or.
Deuteronomium 3

Hoe koning Og werd verslagen
3 Toen we in de richting van Bazan trokken, kwam koning Og van Bazan ons met zijn hele leger tegemoet. Bij Edreï viel hij ons aan. 2 Maar de Heer zei tegen mij: 'Wees niet bang voor hem. Ik zal ervoor zorgen dat jullie hem en zijn hele leger zullen verslaan. Jullie zullen met hem hetzelfde doen als met koning Sihon die in Hesbon woonde.' 3 En onze Heer God zorgde ervoor dat we ook koning Og en zijn hele leger konden verslaan. We lieten niemand van hen in leven. 4 We veroverden ook alle 60 steden in het koninkrijk van Og in Bazan. Dus het hele gebied van Argob. 5 Het waren allemaal sterke steden met hoge muren met deuren en grendels. Verder nog een heel aantal steden zónder muren. 6 We doodden alle mannen, vrouwen en kinderen, zoals we ook bij koning Sihon van Hesbon hadden gedaan. 7 Maar al het vee en alle spullen uit de steden namen we mee als buit.
8 Zo veroverden we aan de oostkant van de Jordaan het land van de twee koningen van de Amorieten. We veroverden het hele gebied vanaf de beek de Arnon tot aan de berg Hermon. 9 (De Sidoniërs noemen die berg Sirjon. De Amorieten noemen hem Senir.) 10 Zo veroverden we al hun steden op de vlakte, dus heel Gilead en heel Bazan tot Salcha en Edreï. Dat zijn alle steden van het koninkrijk van Og in Bazan. 11 (Koning Og van Bazan was de laatste van het volk van reuzen. Hij had een ijzeren rustbank.[a] Die wordt bewaard in de stad Rabba van de Ammonieten. Zijn rustbank is 9 el (4 m) lang en 4 el (1,8 m) breed, gemeten met de gewone el.)
Hoe het land van Og werd verdeeld onder de stammen
12 Zo veroverden we toen dat land. Daarvan gaf ik het gebied vanaf Aroër aan de beek Arnon, en de helft van de bergen van Gilead en de steden die daar liggen, aan de stammen van Ruben en Gad. 13 De rest van Gilead met heel Bazan, dus het koninkrijk van Og, gaf ik aan de halve stam van Manasse. Zo kregen zij dus samen het hele gebied Argob. (Het hele land Bazan wordt het land van de reuzen genoemd.) 14 Jaïr, uit de stam van Manasse, kreeg de hele streek van Argob tot de streek van de Gezurieten en de Maächatieten. Hij noemde die streek naar zichzelf: Bazan Havvot Jaïr (= 'de dorpen van Jaïr'). Zo heet die streek nog steeds. 15 Aan Machir, ook uit de stam van Manasse, gaf ik Gilead. 16 Aan de stammen van Ruben en Gad gaf ik het gebied vanaf Gilead tot aan de Arnon. De zuidgrens liep door het midden van deze beek. De noordgrens was de beek de Jabbok. Daar begint het gebied van de Ammonieten. 17 Verder gaf ik hun de vlakte en de Jordaan met het gebied dat daarbij hoort, vanaf Kinneret tot aan de Zoutzee in de vlakte, dus tot aan Asdot-Pisga aan de oostkant van de Zoutzee.
18 In die tijd beval ik de stammen van Ruben en Gad en de halve stam van Manasse: 'Jullie Heer God heeft jullie dit land gegeven. Jullie mogen het hebben. Maar dan moeten jullie wel vooraan het leger van de andere stammen de Jordaan oversteken. Alle mannen die met het leger kunnen meegaan, moeten mee. 19 Alleen jullie vrouwen, kinderen en vee (ik weet dat jullie veel vee hebben) mogen achterblijven in de steden die ik jullie heb gegeven. 20 Jullie moeten met de andere stammen meestrijden. Totdat de Heer ook aan hen vrede en rust zal hebben gegeven, net zoals Hij aan jullie heeft gegeven. De Heer God gaat hun het land aan de overkant van de Jordaan geven. Jullie moeten hen helpen dat te veroveren. Daarna mogen jullie teruggaan naar het land dat ik aan jullie heb gegeven.'
21 Tegen Jozua zei ik: 'Je hebt met eigen ogen gezien wat jullie Heer God met deze twee koningen heeft gedaan. De Heer zal hetzelfde doen met alle andere koninkrijken waar je nog naartoe gaat. 22 Wees dus niet bang voor hen, want de Heer God strijdt Zelf voor jullie.'
Hoe Mozes God smeekte om ook het beloofde land in te mogen gaan
23 Ook smeekte ik de Heer toen: 24 'U bent nog maar net begonnen met mij te laten zien hoe sterk en machtig U bent. Want welke god in de hemel of op de aarde kan zulke geweldige dingen doen als U? 25 Laat mij alstublieft de Jordaan oversteken. Dan kan ik het prachtige land zien dat aan de overkant ligt, dat prachtige bergland en de Libanon.' 26 Maar door jullie schuld was de Heer boos op mij. Hij wilde niet naar me luisteren. Hij zei tegen mij: 'Zo is het genoeg. Ik wil je er niet meer over horen. 27 Klim naar de top van de Pisga en kijk naar het westen, noorden, zuiden en oosten. Kijk goed rond, want je zal de Jordaan niet oversteken. 28 Maar zeg tegen Jozua wat hij moet doen. Want hij zal de leiding van je overnemen. Bereid hem goed voor op zijn taak. Want hij zal het volk naar de overkant brengen. Hij zal ervoor zorgen dat dit volk het land krijgt dat jij zal zien.' 29 En we bleven in het dal tegenover Bet-Peor.

Deuteronomy 3
Authorized (King James) Version
3 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. 2 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. 3 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. 4 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. 5 All these cities were fenced with high walls, gates, and bars; beside unwalled towns a great many. 6 And we utterly destroyed them, as we did unto Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, women, and children, of every city. 7 But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, we took for a prey to ourselves. 8 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; 9 (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. 12 And this land, which we possessed at that time, from Aroer, which is by the river Arnon, and half mount Gilead, and the cities thereof, gave I unto the Reubenites and to the Gadites. 13 And the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, being the kingdom of Og, gave I unto the half tribe of Manasseh; all the region of Argob, with all Bashan, which was called the land of giants. 14 Jair the son of Manasseh took all the country of Argob unto the coasts of Geshuri and Maachathi; and called them after his own name, Bashan-havoth-jair, unto this day. 15 And I gave Gilead unto Machir. 16 And unto the Reubenites and unto the Gadites I gave from Gilead even unto the river Arnon half the valley, and the border even unto the river Jabbok, which is the border of the children of Ammon; 17 the plain also, and Jordan, and the coast thereof, from Chinnereth even unto the sea of the plain, even the salt sea, under Ashdoth-pisgah eastward.
18 And I commanded you at that time, saying, The Lord your God hath given you this land to possess it: ye shall pass over armed before your brethren the children of Israel, all that are meet for the war. 19 But your wives, and your little ones, and your cattle, (for I know that ye have much cattle,) shall abide in your cities which I have given you; 20 until the Lord have given rest unto your brethren, as well as unto you, and until they also possess the land which the Lord your God hath given them beyond Jordan: and then shall ye return every man unto his possession, which I have given you.
21 And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, Thine eyes have seen all that the Lord your God hath done unto these two kings: so shall the Lord do unto all the kingdoms whither thou passest. 22 Ye shall not fear them: for the Lord your God he shall fight for you. 23 And I besought the Lord at that time, saying, 24 O Lord God, thou hast begun to shew thy servant thy greatness, and thy mighty hand: for what God is there in heaven or in earth, that can do according to thy works, and according to thy might? 25 I pray thee, let me go over, and see the good land that is beyond Jordan, that goodly mountain, and Lebanon. 26 But the Lord was wroth with me for your sakes, and would not hear me: and the Lord said unto me, Let it suffice thee; speak no more unto me of this matter. 27 Get thee up into the top of Pisgah, and lift up thine eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and behold it with thine eyes: for thou shalt not go over this Jordan. 28 But charge 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 thou shalt see. 29 So we abode in the valley over against Beth-peor.
