| 1Then we turned and went up the road to Bashan, and Og king of Bashan came out against us with his whole army to do battle at Edrei. | 1"We set out and went up along the road to Bashan. Then King Og of Bashan came out to meet us—he and his whole army—for a battle at Edrei. |
| 2But the LORD said to me, 'Do not fear him, for I have handed him over to you along with his whole army and his land. Do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon.' | 2Then the LORD told me, 'Don't fear him, because I've delivered him, his army, and his territory into your control. Do to him just as you have done to Sihon, king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon.' |
| 3So the LORD our God also handed over Og king of Bashan and his whole army to us. We struck him until there was no survivor left. | 3"So the LORD our God also delivered into our control King Og of Bashan, along with his whole army. We attacked him until there were no survivors. |
| 4We captured all his cities at that time. There wasn't a city that we didn't take from them: 60 cities, the entire region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan. | 4Then we captured all his cities at that time. There was not a city left that we didn't capture from them—60 cities in all from the region of Argob, which is part of the kingdom of Og in Bashan. |
| 5All these were fortified with high walls, gates, and bars, besides a large number of rural villages. | 5All of these cities were fortified with high walls, gates, and bars. Furthermore, there were very many unwalled regions. |
| 6We completely destroyed them, as we had done to Sihon king of Heshbon, destroying the men, women, and children of every city. | 6We utterly destroyed them, just as we did King Sihon of Heshbon, attacking them in every city—the men, women, and children. |

| 9which the Sidonians call Sirion, but the Amorites call Senir, | 9(The Sidonians called Hermon Sirion, but the Amorites called it Senir.) |
| 10all the cities of the plateau, Gilead, and Bashan as far as Salecah and Edrei, cities of Og's kingdom in Bashan. | 10We took control of all the cities of the plain, all of Gilead and Bashan as far as Salecah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan. |
| 11(Only Og king of Bashan was left of the remnant of the Rephaim. His bed was made of iron. Isn't it in Rabbah of the Ammonites? It is 13 feet six inches long and six feet wide by a standard measure.)" | 11Only King Og of Bashan remained from the remnants of the Rephaim. In fact, his bed was made of iron. It's in Rabbah of the Ammonites, isn't it? It was nine cubits long and four cubits wide." |
| 12At that time we took possession of this land. I gave to the Reubenites and Gadites the area extending from Aroer by the Arnon Valley, and half the hill country of Gilead along with its cities. | 12"Of the land that we captured at that time, I've given its towns to the descendants of Reuben and the descendants of Gad from Aroer near the Wadi Arnon to half of the hill country of Gilead. |
| 13I gave to half the tribe of Manasseh the rest of Gilead and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og. The entire region of Argob, the whole territory of Bashan, used to be called the land of the Rephaim. | 13The remainder of Gilead and Bashan of the kingdom of Og, I've given to the half-tribe of Manasseh. (The whole region of Argob—that is, all of Bashan—is called the land of the Rephaim.) |
| 14Jair, a descendant of Manasseh, took over the entire region of Argob as far as the border of the Geshurites and Maacathites. He called Bashan by his own name, Jair's Villages, as it is today. | 14Manasseh's son Jair captured all the Argob region as far as the territory of the descendants of Geshur and the descendants of Maacath. Bashan was named after him; that's why it is called Havvoth-jair to this day. |
| 15I gave Gilead to Machir, | 15Furthermore, I've given Gilead to Machir. |
| 16and I gave to the Reubenites and Gadites the area extending from Gilead to the Arnon Valley (the middle of the valley was the border) and up to the Jabbok River, the border of the Ammonites. | 16And I've given Gilead to the descendants of Reuben and the descendants of Gad as far as the Arnon Valley, designating the middle of the valley as its boundary, including up to the Jabbok River as a boundary with the Ammonites. |
| 17The Arabah and Jordan are also borders from Chinnereth as far as the Sea of the Arabah, the Dead Sea, under the slopes of Pisgah on the east." | 17The Arabah and the Jordan River are also a boundary from Chinnereth to the Sea of the Arabah (that is, the Salt Sea), below the slopes of Pisgah on the east." |
| 18I commanded you at that time: The LORD your God has given you this land to possess. All your fighting men will cross over in battle formation ahead of your brothers the Israelites. | 18"Then I commanded you at that time, 'The Lord your God gave you this land as a possession. Those equipped for battle—every man a warrior—will cross before your fellow Israelis. |
| 19But your wives, young children, and livestock--I know that you have a lot of livestock--will remain in the cities I have given you | 19However, your women, children, and livestock—and I know you have many—may reside in your towns that I gave you |
| 20until the LORD gives rest to your brothers as He has to you, and they also take possession of the land the LORD your God is giving them across the Jordan. Then each of you may return to his possession that I have given you." | 20until the LORD grants rest to your fellow Israelis like you. When they take possession of the territory that the LORD your God is about to give them on the other side of the Jordan River, then each of you may return to the territory that I've allotted for you.' |
| 21I commanded Joshua at that time: Your own eyes have seen everything the LORD your God has done to these two kings. The LORD will do the same to all the kingdoms you are about to enter. | 21"I also charged Joshua at that time, 'You witnessed everything that the LORD your God did to the two kings. Indeed, the LORD will do this to all the kingdoms which you are about to enter. |
| 22Don't be afraid of them, for the LORD your God fights for you." | 22You are not to fear them, because the LORD your God will fight for you.'" |
| 23At that time I begged the LORD: | 23"I pleaded with the LORD at that time, |
| 24Lord GOD, You have begun to show Your greatness and power to Your servant, for what god is there in heaven or on earth who can perform deeds and mighty acts like Yours? | 24LORD God, you've begun to show your greatness and your strong power to your servant. For what god in heaven or on earth can equal your works and mighty deeds? |
| 25Please let me cross over and see the beautiful land on the other side of the Jordan, that good hill country and Lebanon." | 25Let me cross over that I may see the good land on the other side of the Jordan River—the good hill country—as well as Lebanon.' |
| 26But the LORD was angry with me on account of you and would not listen to me. The LORD said to me, 'That's enough! Do not speak to Me again about this matter. | 26"However, the LORD was furious with me because of you. He did not listen to me. Instead, the LORD said, 'You are not to speak to me about this matter again! |
| 27Go to the top of Pisgah and look to the west, north, south, and east, and see it with your own eyes, for you will not cross this Jordan. | 27Go up to the top of Pisgah and lift your eyes toward the west, north, south, and east. Look with your own eyes, since you won't be able to cross this Jordan River. |
| 28But commission Joshua and encourage and strengthen him, for he will cross over ahead of the people and enable them to inherit this land that you will see.' | 28Therefore charge Joshua to be doubly strong, because he will lead this people and cause them to inherit the land that you'll see.' |
| 29So we stayed in the valley facing Beth-peor." | 29We then encamped in the valley opposite Beth-peor." |
