31 So the Israelites[a] lived in the land of the Amorites. 32 Moses sent spies to reconnoiter[b] Jazer, and they captured its villages[c] and dispossessed the Amorites who were there.

33 Then they turned and went up by the road to Bashan. And King Og of Bashan and all his forces[d] marched out against them to do battle at Edrei. 34 And the Lord said to Moses, “Do not fear him, for I have delivered him and all his people and his land into your hand. You will do to him what you did to King Sihon of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon.” 35 So they defeated Og,[e] his sons, and all his people, until there were no survivors,[f] and they possessed his land.

31 Thus Israel lived in the land of the Amorites.[a] 32 Moses sent to explore Jaazer; they captured its environs[b] and dispossessed the Amorites[c] who were there.

33 Then they turned and went up by the way of the Bashan, and Og king of the Bashan and all his people went out to meet them for battle at Edrei. 34 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Do not fear him because I will give him and all his people and all his land into your hand. You will do to him just as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites,[d] who was living in Heshbon.” 35 And so they destroyed him and his sons, and all his people until they had not spared a survivor; and they took possession of his land.
