Deuteronomy 2:26-3:17

MSTC(i) 26 Then I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sihon king of Heshbon, with words of peace, saying, 27 'Let me go through thy land. I will go always along by the high way and will neither turn unto the right hand, nor to the left. 28 Sell me meat, for money, for to eat; and give me drink, for money, for to drink: I will go through by foot only - 29 as the children of Esau did unto me, which dwell in Seir, and the Moabites which dwell in Ar — until I be come over Jordan, into the land which the LORD our God giveth us.' 30 But Sihon, the king of Heshbon, would not let us pass by him; for the LORD thy God had hardened his spirit and made his heart tough because he would deliver him into thy hands as it is come to pass this day. 31 And the LORD said unto me, 'Behold, I have begun to set Sihon and his land before thee: go to and conquer, that thou mayest possess his land.' 32 Then both Sihon and all his people came out against us unto battle at Jahaz. 33 And the LORD set him before us, and we smote him and his sons and all his people. 34 And we took all his cities the same season, and destroyed all the cities with men, women, and children and let nothing remain, 35 save the cattle only we caught unto ourselves and the spoil of the cities which we took: 36 from Aroer upon the brink of the river of Arnon, and the city in the river, unto Gilead, there was not one city too strong for us. The LORD our God delivered all unto us: 37 only, unto the land of the children of Ammon ye came not, nor unto all the coast of the river Jabbok nor unto the cities in the mountains, nor unto whatsoever the LORD our God forbade us. 3 1 Then we turned and went up the way to Bashan. And Og the king of Bashan came out against us: both he and all his people to battle at Edrei. 2 And the LORD said unto me, "Fear him not, for I have delivered him and all his people and his land into thy hand and thou shalt deal with him as thou dealtest with Sihon king of the Amorites which dwelt at Heshbon.' 3 And so the LORD our God delivered into our hands, Og also the king of Bashan and all his folk. And we smote him until nought was left him. 4 And we took all his cities the same season, for there was not a city which we took not from them; even three score cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan. 5 All these cities were made strong with high walls, gates and bars; beside un-walled towns, a great many. 6 And we utterly destroyed them, as we played with Sihon king of Heshbon: bringing to nought all the cities with men, women and children. 7 But all the cattle and the spoil of the cities, we caught for ourselves. 8 And thus we took, the same season, the land out of the hand of two kings of the Amorites on the other side Jordan, from the river of Arnon unto mount Hermon 9 — which Hermon the Sidonians call Sirion, but the Amorites call it Senir - 10 all the cities in the plain and all Gilead and all Bashan unto Salecah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan. 11 For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of the Giants: behold, his iron bed is yet at Rabbah, among the children of Ammon: nine cubits long and four cubits broad, of the cubits of a man. 12 And when we had conquered this land the same time, I gave from Aroer, which is upon the river of Arnon, and half mount Gilead and the cities thereof unto the Reubenites, and Gadites. 13 And the rest of Gilead and all Bashan the kingdom of Og, I gave unto the half tribe of Manasseh: all the region of Argob with all Bashan was called the land of Giants. 14 Jair the son of Manasseh took all the region of Argob unto the coasts of Geshuri and Maachathi, and called the towns of Bashan after his own name: the towns of Jair unto this day. 15 And I gave half Gilead unto Machir. 16 And unto Reuben and Gad, I gave from Gilead unto the river of Arnon and half the valley and the coast, even unto the river Jabbok which is the border of the children of Ammon, 17 and the fields and Jordan with the coast, from Chinnereth even unto the sea in the field which is the salt sea under the springs of Pisgah eastward.
