Deuteronomy 3

vannefen vanna'al derekh habbashan vayyetse og melekh-habbashan liqratenu hu vekhol-ammo lammilkhamah edre'i

We made our way up the road toward Bashan, and King Og of Bashan with all his troops took the field against us at Edrei.

vayyomer Adonai elay al-tira oto ki veyadekha natatti oto ve'et-kol-ammo ve'et-artso ve'asita lo ka'asher asita lesikhon melekh ha'emori asher yoshev bekheshbon

But GOD said to me: Do not fear him, for I am delivering him and all his troops and his country into your power, and you will do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon.

vayyitten Adonai elohenu beyadenu gam et-og melekh-habbashan ve'et-kol-ammo vannakkehu ad-bilti hishir-lo sarid

So the ETERNAL our God also delivered into our power King Og of Bashan, with all his troops, and we dealt them such a blow that no survivor was left.

vannilkod et-kol-arayw ba'et hahiv lo hayetah qiryah asher lo-laqakhnu me'ittam shishim ir kol-khevel argov mamlekhet og babbashan

At that time we captured all his towns; there was not a town that we did not take from them: sixty towns, the whole district of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan—

kol-elleh arim betsurot khomah gevohah delatayim uveriakh levad me'are happerazi harbeh me'od

all those towns were fortified with high walls, gates, and bars—apart from a great number of unwalled towns.

vannakharem otam ka'asher asinu lesikhon melekh kheshbon hakharem kol-ir metim hannashim vehattaf

We doomed them as we had done in the case of King Sihon of Heshbon; we doomed every town—men, women, and children—

vekhol-habbehemah ushelal he'arim bazzonu lanu

and retained as booty all the cattle and the spoil of the towns.

vanniqqakh ba'et hahiv et-ha'arets miyyad shene malkhe ha'emori asher be'ever hayyarden minnakhal arnon ad-har khermon

Thus we seized, at that time, from the two Amorite kings, the country beyond the Jordan, from the wadi Arnon to Mount Hermon—

tsidonim yiqre'u lekhermon siryon veha'emori yiqre'u-lo senir

Sidonians called Hermon Sirion, and the Amorites call it Senir—

kol are hammishor vekhol-haggilad vekhol-habbashan ad-salkhah ve'edre'i are mamlekhet og babbashan

all the towns of the Tableland and the whole of Gilead and Bashan as far as Salcah and Edrei, the towns of Og’s kingdom in Bashan.

ki raq-og melekh habbashan nishar miyyeter harefa'im hinneh arso eres barzel haloh hiv berabbat bene ammon tesha ammot orkah ve'arba ammot rokhbah be'ammat-ish

Only King Og of Bashan was left of the remaining Rephaim. His bedstead, an iron bedstead, is now in Rabbah of the Ammonites; it is nine cubits long and four cubits wide, by the standard cubit!

ve'et-ha'arets hazzot yarashnu ba'et hahiv me'aro'er asher-al-nakhal arnon vakhatsi har-haggilad ve'arayw natatti laruveni velaggadi

And this is the land that we apportioned at that time: The part from Aroer along the wadi Arnon, with part of the hill country of Gilead and its towns, I assigned to the Reubenites and the Gadites.

veyeter haggilad vekhol-habbashan mamlekhet og natatti lakhatsi shevet hamenasheh kol khevel ha'argov lekhol-habbashan hahu yiqqare erets refa'im

The rest of Gilead, and all of Bashan under Og’s rule—the whole Argob district, all that part of Bashan that is called Rephaim country—I assigned to the half-tribe of Manasseh.

ya'ir ben-menasheh laqakh et-kol-khevel argov ad-gevul haggeshuri vehamma'akhati vayyiqra otam al-shemo et-habbashan khavvot ya'ir ad hayyom hazzeh

Jair son of Manasseh received the whole Argob district (that is, Bashan) as far as the boundary of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, and named it after himself: Havvoth-jair—as is still the case.

ulemakhir natatti et-haggilad

To Machir I assigned Gilead.

velaruveni velaggadi natatti min-haggilad ve'ad-nakhal arnon tokh hannakhal ugevul ve'ad yabboq hannakhal gevul bene ammon

And to the Reubenites and the Gadites I assigned the part from Gilead down to the wadi Arnon, the middle of the wadi being the boundary, and up to the wadi Jabbok, the boundary of the Ammonites.

veha'aravah vehayyarden ugevul mikkinneret ve'ad yam ha'aravah yam hammelakh takhat ashdot happisgah mizrakhah

[We also seized] the Arabah, from the foot of the slopes of Pisgah on the east, to the edge of the Jordan, and from Chinnereth down to the sea of the Arabah, the Dead Sea.

va'atsav etkhem ba'et hahiv lemor Adonai elohekhem natan lakhem et-ha'arets hazzot lerishtah khalutsim ta'avru lifne akhekhem bene-yisra'el kol-bene-khayil

At that time I charged you, saying, “The ETERNAL your God has given you this country to possess. You must go as shock-troops, warriors all, at the head of your fellow Israelites.

raq neshekhem vetappekhem umiqnekhem yadati ki-miqneh rav lakhem yeshevu be'arekhem asher natatti lakhem

Only your wives, children, and livestock—I know that you have much livestock—shall be left in the towns I have assigned to you,

ad asher-yaniakh Adonai la'akhekhem kakhem veyareshu gam-hem et-ha'arets asher Adonai elohekhem noten lahem be'ever hayyarden veshavtem ish lirushato asher natatti lakhem

until GOD has granted your kindred a haven such as you have, and they too have taken possession of the land that the ETERNAL your God is assigning them, beyond the Jordan. Then you may return each to the homestead that I have assigned to him.”

ve'et-yehoshua tsivveti ba'et hahiv lemor enekha haro'ot et kol-asher asah Adonai elohekhem lishne hammelakhim ha'elleh ken-ya'aseh Adonai lekhol-hammamlakhot asher attah over shammah

I also charged Joshua at that time, saying, “You have seen with your own eyes all that the ETERNAL your God has done to these two kings; so shall GOD do to all the kingdoms into which you shall cross over.

lo tira'um ki Adonai elohekhem hu hannilkham lakhem

Do not fear them, for it is the ETERNAL your God who will battle for you.”

va'etkhannan el-Adonai ba'et hahiv lemor

I pleaded with GOD at that time, saying,

adonay Elohim attah hakhillota leharot et-avdekha et-godlekha ve'et-yadekha hakhazaqah asher mi-el bashamayim uva'arets asher-ya'aseh khema'asekha vekhigvurotekha

“O my Sovereign GOD, You who let Your servant see the first works of Your greatness and Your mighty hand, You whose powerful deeds no god in heaven or on earth can equal!

eberah-nna ve'ereh et-ha'arets hattovah asher be'ever hayyarden hahar hattov hazzeh vehallevanon

Let me, I pray, cross over and see the good land on the other side of the Jordan, that good hill country, and the Lebanon.”

vayyitabber Adonai bi lema'ankhem velo shama elay vayyomer Adonai elay rav-lakh al-tosef dabber elay od baddavar hazzeh

But GOD was wrathful with me on your account and would not listen to me. GOD said to me, “Enough! Never speak to Me of this matter again!

aleh rosh happisgah vesa enekha yammah vetsafonah vetemanah umizrakhah ure'eh ve'enekha ki-lo ta'avor et-hayyarden hazzeh

Go up to the summit of Pisgah and gaze about, to the west, the north, the south, and the east. Look at it well, for you shall not go across yonder Jordan.

vetsav et-yehoshua vekhazzeqehu ve'ammetsehu ki-hu ya'avor lifne ha'am hazzeh vehu yankhil otam et-ha'arets asher tireh

Give Joshua his instructions, and imbue him with strength and courage, for he shall go across at the head of this people, and he shall allot to them the land that you may only see.”

vanneshev baggay mul bet pe'or

Meanwhile we stayed on in the valley near Beth-peor.
