⁶³ These are those that were numbered by Moses and Elazar the priest, who numbered the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan, opposite Jericho.

⁴⁹ And they encamped by the Jordan, from Beth-hayeshimoth even unto Abel-hashittim in the plains of Moab. ⁵⁰ And the Lord spoke unto Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan opposite Jericho, saying,

⁵ On this side of the Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to explain this law, saying,

²⁷ Get thee up unto the top of Pisgah, and lift up thy eyes, westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and behold it with thy eyes; for thou shalt not pass over this Jordan.

⁴⁹ And all the plain on this side of the Jordan eastward, even unto the sea of the plain, under the declivities of Pisgah.

¹ And Moses went up from the plains of Moab unto the mount of Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that is before Jericho; and the Lord showed him all the land from Gil’ad unto Dan,

¹⁴ And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh unto the king of Edom, Thus hath said thy brother Israel, Thou knowest all the hardship that hath befallen us. ¹⁵ How our fathers went down into Egypt, and we dwelt in Egypt many days; and the Egyptians did evil to us, and to our fathers: ¹⁶ And we cried unto the Lord, and he heard our voice, and he sent a messenger, and caused us to go forth out of Egypt; and, behold, we are in Kadesh, a city at the outmost end of thy border. ¹⁷ Let us pass, we pray thee, through thy country; we will not pass through field, or through vineyard, and we will not drink the water of the wells: by the king’s highway will we go, we will not turn to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed thy border. ¹⁸ And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not pass through my land, lest I come against thee with the sword. ¹⁹ And the children of Israel said unto him, We will go by the highway: and if we drink of thy water, I and my cattle, then will I pay its value; I will do thee no injury, only on foot will I pass through.

²⁶ And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sichon, the king of Cheshbon, with words of peace, saying, ²⁷ Let me pass through thy land: always by the highway will I go along; I will not turn unto the right hand or unto the left. ²⁸ Food shalt thou sell me for money, that I may eat; and water for money shalt thou give me, that I may drink: only let me pass through on foot;

¹⁹ And Israel sent messengers unto Sichon the king of the Emorites, the king of Cheshbon; and Israel said unto him, Let us pass, we pray thee, through thy land unto my place. ²⁰ But Sichon trusted not Israel to let them pass through his territory; and Sichon assembled all his people, and encamped in Yahaz, and fought against Israel. ²¹ and the Lord the God of Israel delivered Sichon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they smote them; and Israel took possession of all the land of the Emorites, the inhabitants of that country.

¹⁷ Let us pass, we pray thee, through thy country; we will not pass through field, or through vineyard, and we will not drink the water of the wells: by the king’s highway will we go, we will not turn to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed thy border.

²¹ And as Edom thus refused to permit Israel to pass through his border, Israel turned away from him.

³⁰ But Sichon, the king of Cheshbon, would not suffer our passing by him; for the Lord thy God had hardened his spirit, and had made obstinate his heart, that he might deliver him into thy hand, as hath happened this day. ³¹ And the Lord said unto me, Behold, I have begun to give up Sichon and his land before thee: begin to drive him out, that thou mayest inherit his land. ³² And Sichon came out against us, he and all his people, to the battle at Yahaz.

^{7 (29:6)} And when ye came unto this place, Sichon the king of Cheshbon, and ‘Og the king of Bashan went out against us unto battle, and we smote them: ^{8 (29:7)} And we took their land, and gave it for an inheritance unto the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half tribe of the Menassites.

²⁰ But Sichon trusted not Israel to let them pass through his territory; and Sichon assembled all his people, and encamped in Yahaz, and fought against Israel.

⁴ And loud crieth Cheshbon with El’aleh; as far as Yahaz is heard their voice: therefore the armed men of Moab shall howl; its soul is grieved for itself.

³⁴ From the loud cry of Cheshbon as far as El’aleh, even unto Yahaz, have they sent forth their voice, from Zo’ar even unto Choronayim, to the third ‘Eglath; for the waters also of Nimrim shall become desolate.

²² And he rose up that night, and he took his two wives, and his two women-servants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford of the Yabbok.

¹³ From there they set forward, and encamped on the other side of Arnon, which is in the wilderness, and which cometh out of the boundary of the Emorites; for Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and between the Emorites.

¹ Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of cattle; and they saw the land of Ya’zer, and the land of Gil’ad, that, behold, the place was a place for cattle. ² And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben came, and said unto Moses, and unto Elazar the priest, and unto the princes of the congregation, as followeth, ³ ‘Ataroth, and Dibon, and Ya’zer, and Nimrah, and Cheshbon, and El’aleh, and Sebam, and Nebo, and Be’on, ⁴ The country which the Lord hath smitten before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle; and thy servants have cattle.

³³ And Moses gave unto them, to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and to half the tribe of Menasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sichon, the king of the Emorites, and the kingdom of ‘Og, the king of Bashan, the land, with its cities within the boundaries, the cities of the country round about. ³⁴ And the children of Gad built Dibon, and ‘Ataroth, and ‘Aro’er, ³⁵ And ‘Atroth-shophan, and Ya’zer, and Yogbehah. ³⁶ And Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran, fortified cities, and folds for flocks, ³⁷ And the children of Reuben built Cheshbon, and El’aleh, and Kiryathayim, ³⁸ And Nebo, and Ba’al-me’on their names being changed, and Shibmah; and they gave the former names unto the cities which they built. ³⁹ And the children of Machir the son of Menasseh went to Gil’ad, and conquered it, and dispossessed the Emorites who were in it. ⁴⁰ And Moses gave Gil’ad unto Machir the son of Menasseh; and he dwelt therein. ⁴¹ And Yair the son of Menasseh went and conquered the small towns thereof, and called them Chavoth-yair. ⁴² And Nobach went and conquered Kenath, and the villages thereof, and called it Nobach, after his own name.

³¹ And the Lord said unto me, Behold, I have begun to give up Sichon and his land before thee: begin to drive him out, that thou mayest inherit his land. ³² And Sichon came out against us, he and all his people, to the battle at Yahaz. ³³ And the Lord our God gave him up before us; and we smote him, and his sons, and all his people. ³⁴ And we conquered all his cities at that time, and devoted every inhabited city, and the women, and the little ones; we left none that escaped. ³⁵ Only the cattle we took as booty unto ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we had captured. ³⁶ From ‘Aro’er, which is by the bank of the brook of Arnon, and the city that is in the brook, even unto Gil’ad, there was not one city which was too strong for us; the whole did the Lord our God give up before us. ³⁷ Only unto the land of the children of ‘Ammon didst thou not come nigh, unto the whole margin of the brook Yabbok, and the cities in the mountain, and unto whatsoever the Lord our God had forbidden us.

¹⁶ And unto the Reubenites and unto the Gadites I gave from Gil’ad even unto the brook Arnon, the land within the river and that adjoining, even unto the brook Yabbok, the border of the children of ‘Ammon;

^{7 (29:6)} And when ye came unto this place, Sichon the king of Cheshbon, and ‘Og the king of Bashan went out against us unto battle, and we smote them:

¹⁰ And all that he hath done to the two kings of the Emorites, that were beyond the Jordan, to Sichon the king of Cheshbon, and to ‘Og the king of Bashan, who was at ‘Ashtaroth.

¹ And these are the kings of the land whom the children of Israel smote, and whose land they took possession of on the other side of the Jordan, toward the rising of the sun, from the river Arnon unto mount Chermon, and all the plain on the east: ² Sichon the king of the Emorites, who dwelt in Cheshbon, and ruled from ‘Aro’er, which is upon the bank of the brook Arnon, and over the land in the middle of the brook, and from half Gil’ad, even unto the brook Yabbok, the boundary of the children of ‘Ammon; ³ And over the plain up to the sea of Kinneroth on the east, and up to the sea of the plain, the salt sea on the east, on the way to Beth-hayeshimoth; and at the south, under the declivities of Pisgah;

⁸ With him the Reubenites and the Gadites have received their inheritance, which Moses gave unto them, beyond the Jordan eastward, as Moses the servant of the Lord hath given them; ⁹ From ‘Aro’er, that is upon the bank of the brook Arnon, and the city that is in the midst of the brook, and all the plain of Medeba up to Dibon; ¹⁰ And all the cities of Sichon the king of the Emorites, who reigned over Cheshbon, up to the border of the children of ‘Ammon;

⁸ And I brought you into the land of the Emorites, that dwelt on the other side of the Jordan; and they fought with you: and I gave them into your hand, and ye took possession of their land; and I destroyed them from before you.

²¹ and the Lord the God of Israel delivered Sichon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they smote them; and Israel took possession of all the land of the Emorites, the inhabitants of that country. ²² And they took possession of all the territory of the Emorites, from the Arnon even unto the Yabbok, and from the wilderness even unto the Jordan. ²³ So now the Lord the God of Israel hath dispossessed the Emorites from before his people Israel, and shouldst thou possess it?

¹ And the men of Ephraim were called together, and went northward, and said unto Yiphthach, Wherefore didst thou pass over to fight against the children of ‘Ammon, and didst not call for us to go with thee? thy house will we burn over thee with fire. ² And Yiphthach said unto them, I and my people were greatly engaged in strife with the children of ‘Ammon; and I called you, but ye helped me not out of their hand.

⁸ And they said, what one is there of the tribes of Israel that came not up unto the Lord to Mizpah? And, behold, there had not come to the camp a man from Yabesh-gil’ad to the assembly.

²² Thou gavest them also kingdoms and nations, which thou didst divide into various corners: and they took possession of the land of Sichon, even the land of the king of Cheshbon, and the land of ‘Og the king of Bashan.

¹⁰ Who smote many nations, and slew mighty kings; ¹¹ Sichon the king of the Emorites, and ‘Og the king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan; ¹² And gave their land as an inheritance, an inheritance unto Israel his people.

¹⁹ Even Sichon the king of the Emorites; for to eternity endureth his kindness;

⁹ Yet have I destroyed the Emorite from before them, whose height was like the height of cedars, and who was strong as the oaks; but I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.

³¹ Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Emorites.

¹² And in Seir dwelt the Chorim in times past; but the children of Esau drove them out, and they destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their stead; as Israel hath done unto the land of his inheritance, which the Lord hath given unto them.

^{4 (7:5)} Thy neck is like a tower of ivory; thy eyes are like the pools in Cheshbon, by the gate of Bath-rabbim; thy nose is like the tower of Lebanon which looketh toward Damascus.

⁸ For the fields of Cheshbon are withered, the vine of Sibmah—the lords of nations have beaten down its branches, they did reach as far as Ya’zer, into the wilderness did they wander; its tendrils were stretched forth, they passed over the sea. ⁹ Therefore will I weep, when weeping for Ya’zer, for the vine of Sibmah: I will moisten thee richly with my tears, O Cheshbon, and El’aleh; for over the gathering of thy summer fruits and over thy harvest the battle-cry is fallen.

² There is no more praise of Moab: in Cheshbon have they devised evil against it, “Come, and let us cut it off from being a nation.” Also thou Madmen shalt be ruined; after thee shall pursue the sword.

⁴⁵ Under the shadow of Cheshbon stand still, deprived of strength, those that flee; but a fire cometh forth out of Cheshbon, and a flame from the midst of Sichon, and it devoureth the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the children of vaunting.

⁴⁶ And thy elder sister is Samaria, she with her daughters, that dwelleth at thy left hand, and thy younger sister, that dwelleth at thy right hand, is Sodom with her daughters.

⁴⁹ Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom: Pride, abundance of food, and prosperous security were hers and her daughters’; but the hand of the poor and needy did she not strengthen.

⁵³ And I will bring back again their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, and the captivity of the captives in the midst of them:

¹⁰ And it was I who have brought you up from the land of Egypt, and led you forty years through the wilderness, to take possession of the land of the Emorite.

⁴ That thou wilt take up this parable against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath ceased the oppressor! ceased the exactress of gold!

⁶ Will not all these take up a parable against him, and a proverb and a satire concerning him? and they will say, Woe to him that increaseth what is not his! for how long? and to him that loadeth himself with a burden of guilt!

¹⁵ And the descent of the brooks, that turneth toward Shebeth-’Ar, and leaneth upon the border of Moab;

⁴¹ And it came to pass in the morning, that Balak took Bil’am, and brought him up into the high places of Baal, and he saw thence a portion of the people.

²⁰ But if not, let fire come out from Abimelech, and devour the men of Shechem and Beth-millo; and let fire come out from the men of Shechem, and from Beth-millo, and devour Abimelech.

¹⁶ Therefore will the Lord, the Eternal of hosts, send forth among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory shall be kindled a burning like the burning of a fire.

¹ The doom of Moab. Truly in a night is ‘Ar of Moab plundered, it is laid waste; truly in a night is Kir of Moab plundered, it is laid waste. ² It goeth up to the idol-house, and Dibon goeth up to the high-places to weep, on Nebo and on Medeba shall Moab wail: on all its heads there is baldness, and every beard is hewn off.

⁴⁵ Under the shadow of Cheshbon stand still, deprived of strength, those that flee; but a fire cometh forth out of Cheshbon, and a flame from the midst of Sichon, and it devoureth the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the children of vaunting. ⁴⁶ Woe unto thee, O Moab! lost is the people of Kemosh; for thy sons are taken captives, and thy daughters into captivity.

⁴ And I will send a fire into the house of Chazael, which shall devour the palaces of Ben-hadad.

⁷ And I will send a fire against the wall of Gazzah, which shall devour her palaces;

¹⁰ And I will send a fire against the walls of Tyre, which shall devour her palaces.

¹² And I will send out a fire against Theman, which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.

¹⁴ And I will kindle a fire within the walls of Rabbah, which shall devour her palaces, with shouting on the day of battle, with a storm on the day of the tempest;

² And I will send a fire against Moab, which shall devour the palaces of Keriyoth: and Moab shall die in the tumult, in the shouting, amidst the sound of the cornet;

⁵ And I will send out a fire against Judah, which shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.

²⁴ Truly! that which Kemosh thy god may give thee to possess, even that canst thou possess; but whatsoever the Lord our God hath driven out from before us, even that will we possess.

⁷ Then did Solomon build a high-place for Kemosh, the abomination of Moab, on the mount that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the children of ‘Ammon.

³³ For the cause that they have forsaken me, and have bowed down to ‘Ashtoreth the divinity of the Zidonians, to Kemosh the god of Moab, and to Milcom the god of the children of ‘Ammon, and have not walked in my ways, to do what is right in my eyes, and my statutes and my ordinances, like David his father.

¹³ And the high-places that were before Jerusalem, which were to the right of the mount of destruction, which Solomon the king of Israel had built for ‘Ashtoreth the abomination of the Zidonians, and for Kemosh the abomination of the Moabites, and for Milcom the abomination of the children of ‘Ammon, did the king defile.

⁵ My heart will cry for Moab, whose fugitives are as far as Zo’ar, and the third ‘Eglarth; for the ascent of Luchith—with weeping is it ascended; for on the way to Choronayim they let resound the cry of defeat in battle.

⁷ For, because thou hast trusted in thy works and in thy treasures, thou also shalt be conquered: and Kemosh shall go forth into exile, with his priests and his princes together.

¹³ And Moab shall be ashamed of Kemosh, as the house of Israel were made ashamed because of Beth-el their confidence.

⁴⁶ Woe unto thee, O Moab! lost is the people of Kemosh; for thy sons are taken captives, and thy daughters into captivity.

²³ And they embittered his life, and they shot at him, and they hated him, the men of the arrows.

³ ‘Ataroth, and Dibon, and Ya’zer, and Nimrah, and Cheshbon, and El’aleh, and Sebam, and Nebo, and Be’on,

³⁴ And the children of Gad built Dibon, and ‘Ataroth, and ‘Aro’er,

¹⁷ Cheshbon, and all its cities that are in the plain; Dibon, and Bamoth-ba’al, and Beth-ba’al-me’on,

²⁴ And the archers then shot at thy servants from off the wall; and there died some of the servants of the king, and also thy servant Uriyah the Hittite is dead.

^{14 (18:15)} And he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot forth lightnings, and discomfited them.

² It goeth up to the idol-house, and Dibon goeth up to the high-places to weep, on Nebo and on Medeba shall Moab wail: on all its heads there is baldness, and every beard is hewn off.

⁹ For the waters of Dimon are filled with blood; for I will bring over Dimon armed bands; over the escaped of Moab cometh a lion, and over the remnant of the land.

¹⁸ Come down from thy glory, and sit in thirst, thou inhabitress, daughter of Dibon; for the waster of Moab cometh up against thee, he destroyeth thy strong-holds.

²² And over Dibon, and over Nebo, and over Beth-diblathayim,

¹⁶ And unto the Reubenites and unto the Gadites I gave from Gil’ad even unto the brook Arnon, the land within the river and that adjoining, even unto the brook Yabbok, the border of the children of ‘Ammon; ¹⁷ The plain also, and the Jordan, and the adjoining land, from Kinnereth even unto the sea of the plain, the Salt Sea, under the declivities of Pisgah, eastward.

¹ And these are the kings of the land whom the children of Israel smote, and whose land they took possession of on the other side of the Jordan, toward the rising of the sun, from the river Arnon unto mount Chermon, and all the plain on the east: ² Sichon the king of the Emorites, who dwelt in Cheshbon, and ruled from ‘Aro’er, which is upon the bank of the brook Arnon, and over the land in the middle of the brook, and from half Gil’ad, even unto the brook Yabbok, the boundary of the children of ‘Ammon; ³ And over the plain up to the sea of Kinneroth on the east, and up to the sea of the plain, the salt sea on the east, on the way to Beth-hayeshimoth; and at the south, under the declivities of Pisgah; ⁴ And the territory of ‘Og the king of Bashan, who was of the remnant of the Rephaim, that dwelt at ‘Ashtaroth and at Edre’i, ⁵ And reigned over mount Chermon, and over Salchah, and over all Bashan, unto the border of the Geshurites and the Ma’achathites, and half Gil’ad, to the boundary of Sichon the king of Cheshbon. ⁶ These did Moses the servant of the Lord and the children of Israel smite; and Moses the servant of the Lord gave it for a possession unto the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Menasseh.

⁸ With him the Reubenites and the Gadites have received their inheritance, which Moses gave unto them, beyond the Jordan eastward, as Moses the servant of the Lord hath given them; ⁹ From ‘Aro’er, that is upon the bank of the brook Arnon, and the city that is in the midst of the brook, and all the plain of Medeba up to Dibon; ¹⁰ And all the cities of Sichon the king of the Emorites, who reigned over Cheshbon, up to the border of the children of ‘Ammon; ¹¹ And Gil’ad, and the territory of the Geshurites and Ma’achathites, and all mount Chermon, and all Bashan up to Salchah; ¹² All the kingdom of ‘Og in Bashan, who reigned in ‘Ashtaroth and in Edre’i; who had been left of the remnant of the Rephaim; and Moses smote them, and cast them out.

¹ Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of cattle; and they saw the land of Ya’zer, and the land of Gil’ad, that, behold, the place was a place for cattle.

³⁵ And ‘Atroth-shophan, and Ya’zer, and Yogbehah.

³² With the weeping of Ya’zer will I weep for thee, O vine of Sibmah; thy tendrils once passed over the sea, they reached as far as to the sea of Ya’zer: over thy summer-fruits and over thy vintage the waster is fallen.

³³ And Moses gave unto them, to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and to half the tribe of Menasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sichon, the king of the Emorites, and the kingdom of ‘Og, the king of Bashan, the land, with its cities within the boundaries, the cities of the country round about.

⁴ After he had smitten Sichon the king of the Emorites, who dwelt in Cheshbon, and ‘Og the king of Bashan, who dwelt at ‘Ashtaroth in Edre’i.

¹ And 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 the battle at Edre’i. ² And the Lord said unto me, Fear him not; for into thy hand have I given him, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do unto him as thou hast done unto Sichon, the king of the Emorites, who dwelt at Cheshbon. ³ And the Lord our God gave into our hands also ‘Og the king of Bashan, and all his people; and we smote him until none was left to him who escaped. ⁴ And we conquered all his cities at that time, there was not a city which we took not from them, sixty cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of ‘Og in Bashan. ⁵ all these were fortified cities, with high walls, gates, and bars; besides the unwalled towns, which were a great many. ⁶ And we devoted them, as we had done unto Sichon the king of Cheshbon, devoting every inhabited city, the women, and the little ones.

⁴⁷ And they took possession of his land, and of the land of ‘Og the king of Bashan, the two kings of the Emorites, who were on this side of the Jordan toward the rising of the sun;

¹⁴ Cream of cows, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of wheat; and of the blood of the grape thou drunkest unmixed wine.

⁴ And the territory of ‘Og the king of Bashan, who was of the remnant of the Rephaim, that dwelt at ‘Ashtaroth and at Edre’i,

¹² All the kingdom of ‘Og in Bashan, who reigned in ‘Ashtaroth and in Edre’i; who had been left of the remnant of the Rephaim; and Moses smote them, and cast them out.

³⁰ And their territory was from Machanayim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of ‘Og the king of Bashan, and all the villages of Ya’ir, which are in Bashan, sixty cities;

^{12 (22:13)} Many steers have encompassed me: the strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.

^{15 (68:16)} A mountain of God is the mount of Bashan; many peaks hath the mount of Bashan.

⁹ It mourneth, it languisheth—the land: Lebanon is ashamed, it is withered away; Sharon is become like a wilderness; and bereft of their fruits are Bashan and Carmel.

⁶ Of the oaks of Bashan had they made thy oars; thy rudder had they made inlaid with ivory of boxwood, brought out of the isles of the Kittim.

¹⁸ The flesh of the mighty shall ye eat, and the blood of the princes of the earth shall ye drink,—wethers, lambs, and he-goats, bullocks, fatlings of Bashan are they all of them.

¹ Hear this word, O ye cows of Bashan, that are on the mount of Samaria, who oppress the poor, who crush the needy, who say to their lords, Bring, and let us drink.

⁹ Only against the Lord do ye not rebel; and then ye need not fear the people of the land; for they are our bread: their shadow is departed from them, while the Lord is with us; fear them not.

²⁴ And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and took possession of his land from Arnon unto Yabbok, even unto the children of ‘Ammon; for the border of the children of ‘Ammon was strong. ²⁵ And Israel took all these cities; and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Emorites, in Cheshbon, and in all the villages thereof.

² And the Lord said unto me, Fear him not; for into thy hand have I given him, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do unto him as thou hast done unto Sichon, the king of the Emorites, who dwelt at Cheshbon. ³ And the Lord our God gave into our hands also ‘Og the king of Bashan, and all his people; and we smote him until none was left to him who escaped.

¹¹ For only ‘Og the king of Bashan had been left of the remnant of the Rephaim; behold, his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; lo! it is in Rabbah of the children of ‘Ammon: nine cubits is its length, and four cubits its breadth, after the arm of a man.

²⁴ And he will give their kings into thy hand, and thou shalt destroy their name from under the heavens: no man shall be able to stand up before thee, until thou have destroyed them.

³ And he shall say unto them, Hear, O Israel, ye come nigh this day unto the battle against your enemies: let not your hearts faint, fear not, and be not downcast, and do not tremble because of them:

⁶ Be strong and of a good courage, be not afraid and be not dismayed on account of them; for the Lord thy God it is that goeth with thee; he will not let thee fail, nor forsake thee.

⁷ And then shall ye rise up from the ambush, and take possession of the city; and the Lord your God will deliver it in into your hand.

⁸ And the Lord said unto Joshua, Be not afraid of them; for into thy hand have I delivered them: there shall not stand a man of them before thee.

²⁵ And Joshua said unto them, Fear not, nor be disheartened, be strong and of good courage; for thus will the Lord do unto all your enemies against whom ye fight.

⁴ Then David asked yet again counsel of the Lord. And the Lord answered him and said, Arise, Go down to Ke’ilah; for I will deliver the Philistines into thy hand.

¹⁹ And David asked counsel of the Lord, saying, shall I go up against the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And the Lord said unto David, Go up; for I will certainly deliver the Philistines into thy hand.

¹³ And, behold, there approached a certain prophet unto Achab the king of Israel, and said, Thus hath said the Lord, Hast thou seen all this great multitude? behold, I will deliver it into thy hand this day; and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.

²⁸ And there approached the man of God, and spoke unto the king of Israel, and said, Thus hath said the Lord, Forasmuch as the Syrians have said, “A God of the hills is the Lord, but he is not God of the valleys”: will I deliver all this great multitude into thy hand; and ye shall know that I am the Lord.

¹⁸ And this is yet too light a thing in the eyes of the Lord; and he will also deliver the Moabites into your hand.

¹⁰ Who smote many nations, and slew mighty kings; ¹¹ Sichon the king of the Emorites, and ‘Og the king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan;

¹³ For I the Lord thy God lay hold of thy right hand; I am he who saith unto thee, Fear not, I help thee.

³ And the Lord our God gave into our hands also ‘Og the king of Bashan, and all his people; and we smote him until none was left to him who escaped. ⁴ And we conquered all his cities at that time, there was not a city which we took not from them, sixty cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of ‘Og in Bashan. ⁵ all these were fortified cities, with high walls, gates, and bars; besides the unwalled towns, which were a great many. ⁶ And we devoted them, as we had done unto Sichon the king of Cheshbon, devoting every inhabited city, the women, and the little ones. ⁷ But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, we took as booty to ourselves. ⁸ And we took at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the Emorites the land which is on this side of the Jordan, from the river of Arnon unto mount Chermon; ⁹ (The Sidonians call Chermon Siryon; and the Emorites call it Senir;) ¹⁰ All the cities of the plain, and all Gil’ad, and all Bashan, unto Salchah and Edrei, the cities of the kingdom of ‘Og in Bashan. ¹¹ For only ‘Og the king of Bashan had been left of the remnant of the Rephaim; behold, his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; lo! it is in Rabbah of the children of ‘Ammon: nine cubits is its length, and four cubits its breadth, after the arm of a man. ¹² And of this land, of which we took possession at that time, from ‘Aro’er, which is by the river Arnon, and half mount Gil’ad, and the cities thereof, I gave unto the Reubenites and to the Gadites. ¹³ And the rest of Gil’ad, and all Bashan, the kingdom of ‘Og, I gave unto the half tribe of Menasseh: all the region of Argob, with all Bashan, this is called the land of Rephaim. ¹⁴ Yair the son of Menasseh took all the region of Argob up to the border of the Geshurites and the Ma-’achathites; and he called them the land of Bashan, after his own name, the villages of Yair, unto this day. ¹⁵ And unto Machir I gave Gil’ad.

¹⁷ To him who smote great kings; for to eternity endureth his kindness; ¹⁸ And slew mighty kings; for to eternity endureth his kindness. ¹⁹ Even Sichon the king of the Emorites; for to eternity endureth his kindness; ²⁰ And ‘Og the king of Bashan; for to eternity endureth his kindness; ²¹ And gave their land as an inheritance; for to eternity endureth his kindness;
