Deuteronomy 3

Gen Z: Deuteronomy 3

1So we bounced and headed to Bashan, and Og, the king, rolled up with his crew ready to throw down at Edrei.

2The Lord hit me up, saying, "Don’t be scared of him; I got you. I’ll hand him, his crew, and his land right over to you, and you’ll treat him like you did Sihon, the king of the Amorites at Heshbon."

3So our God came through and gave us Og, the king of Bashan, and his whole squad; we took him out, leaving no one standing.

4We snatched all his cities then; not a single one slipped through our fingers—sixty cities in total from the Argob region, all part of Og’s kingdom in Bashan.

5All those cities were stacked with high walls, gates, and bars; plus, there were a ton of chill towns without walls.

6We completely wiped them out, just like we did to Sihon, king of Heshbon, taking out all the dudes, ladies, and kids from every city.

7But we kept all the livestock and the loot from the cities for ourselves, no cap.

8We took the land from the two kings of the Amorites on this side of the Jordan, from the Arnon river all the way to Mount Hermon.

9(The Sidonians call Hermon Sirion, and the Amorites call it Shenir.)

10All the cities in the plain, Gilead, and Bashan, up to Salchah and Edrei, were part of Og's kingdom in Bashan.

11Only Og, the king of Bashan, was left from the giant squad; his bed was made of iron, no cap. It’s in Rabbath of the Ammon fam, and it’s nine cubits long and four cubits wide, like a human-sized vibe.

12This land we had back then, from Aroer by the Arnon river and half of mount Gilead, I gave to the Reubenites and Gadites.

13The rest of Gilead and all of Bashan, the kingdom of Og, went to the half tribe of Manasseh; all the Argob area, which was the land of giants, fr.

14Jair, Manasseh’s son, took all the Argob land up to Geshuri and Maachathi; he named it Bashan–havoth–jair, and that’s still the name today, periodt.

15I handed Gilead over to Machir.

16To the Reubenites and Gadites, I gave from Gilead to the Arnon river, half the valley, and the border to the Jabbok river, which is the Ammon fam’s line.

17The plain, the Jordan, and its coasts, from Chinnereth to the salt sea, under Ashdoth–pisgah eastward, all lit.

18I told you back then, “The Lord your God has given you this land to vibe in: you gotta roll out armed with your bros, the Israelites, all ready for war.”

19But your wives, kids, and cattle (I know you got a lot of that) can chill in your cities I gave you.

20Until the Lord gives your bros some rest, just like you, and until they also get the land the Lord your God gave them beyond Jordan; then you can bounce back to your own spot I gave you.

21I told Joshua back then, "You’ve seen all the wild stuff God did to those two kings; He’s gonna do the same to all the kingdoms you roll up on.

22Don’t even sweat them; the Lord your God’s got your back and He’s ready to throw down for you.

23I hit up the Lord back then, saying,

24Yo, Lord God, you’ve started showing me your greatness and your power; like, what other God is out there in heaven or on earth that can do what you do?

25I’m just tryna check out the good land past Jordan, that dope mountain, and Lebanon.

26But the Lord was mad at me because of you all and didn’t wanna hear me; He said, "Chill, just drop it; don’t talk to me about this anymore."

27Get up to the top of Pisgah, look around to the west, north, south, and east, and peep it with your own eyes; you’re not crossing this Jordan.

28But tell Joshua to pop off, hype him up, and give him some strength; he’s gonna lead this crew across and help them claim the land you’ll see.

29So we just chilled in the valley across from Beth–peor.

KJV: Deuteronomy 3

1Then 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 battle at Edrei.

2And the Lord said unto me, Fear him not: for I will deliver him, and all his people, and his land, into thy hand; and thou shalt do unto him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.

3So the Lord our God delivered into our hands Og also, the king of Bashan, and all his people: and we smote him until none was left to him remaining.

4And we took all his cities at that time, there was not a city which we took not from them, threescore cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.

5All these cities were fenced with high walls, gates, and bars; beside unwalled towns a great many.

6And we utterly destroyed them, as we did unto Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, women, and children, of every city.

7But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, we took for a prey to ourselves.

8And we took at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites the land that was on this side Jordan, from the river of Arnon unto mount Hermon;

9(Which Hermon the Sidonians call Sirion; and the Amorites call it Shenir;)

10All the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, unto Salchah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.

11For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of giants; behold, his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is it not in Rabbath of the children of Ammon? nine cubits was the length thereof, and four cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man.

12And this land, which we possessed at that time, from Aroer, which is by the river Arnon, and half mount Gilead, and the cities thereof, gave I unto the Reubenites and to the Gadites.

13And the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, being the kingdom of Og, gave I unto the half tribe of Manasseh; all the region of Argob, with all Bashan, which was called the land of giants.

14Jair the son of Manasseh took all the country of Argob unto the coasts of Geshuri and Maachathi; and called them after his own name, Bashan–havoth–jair, unto this day.

15And I gave Gilead unto Machir.

16And unto the Reubenites and unto the Gadites I gave from Gilead even unto the river Arnon half the valley, and the border even unto the river Jabbok, which is the border of the children of Ammon;

17The plain also, and Jordan, and the coast thereof, from Chinnereth even unto the sea of the plain, even the salt sea, under Ashdoth–pisgah eastward.

18And I commanded you at that time, saying, The Lord your God hath given you this land to possess it: ye shall pass over armed before your brethren the children of Israel, all that are meet for the war.

19But your wives, and your little ones, and your cattle, (for I know that ye have much cattle,) shall abide in your cities which I have given you;

20Until the Lord have given rest unto your brethren, as well as unto you, and until they also possess the land which the Lord your God hath given them beyond Jordan: and then shall ye return every man unto his possession, which I have given you.

21And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, Thine eyes have seen all that the Lord your God hath done unto these two kings: so shall the Lord do unto all the kingdoms whither thou passest.

22Ye shall not fear them: for the Lord your God he shall fight for you.

23And I besought the Lord at that time, saying,

24O Lord God, thou hast begun to shew thy servant thy greatness, and thy mighty hand: for what God is there in heaven or in earth, that can do according to thy works, and according to thy might?

25I pray thee, let me go over, and see the good land that is beyond Jordan, that goodly mountain, and Lebanon.

26But the Lord was wroth with me for your sakes, and would not hear me: and the Lord said unto me, Let it suffice thee; speak no more unto me of this matter.

27Get thee up into the top of Pisgah, and lift up thine eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and behold it with thine eyes: for thou shalt not go over this Jordan.

28But charge Joshua, and encourage him, and strengthen him: for he shall go over before this people, and he shall cause them to inherit the land which thou shalt see.

29So we abode in the valley over against Beth–peor.
