   Deuteronomy Chapter 3   
      
   1 Then 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.   
      
   2 And 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.   
      
   3 So 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.   
      
   4 And 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.   
      
   5 All these cities were fenced with high walls, gates, and bars; beside   
   unwalled towns a great many.   
      
   6 And we utterly destroyed them, as we did unto Sihon king of Heshbon,   
   utterly destroying the men, women, and children, of every city.   
      
   7 But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, we took for a prey to   
   ourselves.   
      
   8 And 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;)   
      
   10 All the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, unto   
   Salchah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.   
      
   11 For 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.   
      
   12 And 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.   
      
   13 And 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.   
      
   14 Jair the son of Manasseh took all the country of Argob unto the   
   coasts of Geshuri and Maachathi; and called them after his own name,   
   Bashanhavothjair, unto this day.   
      
   15 And I gave Gilead unto Machir.   
      
   16 And 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;   
      
   17 The plain also, and Jordan, and the coast thereof, from Chinnereth   
   even unto the sea of the plain, even the salt sea, under Ashdothpisgah   
   eastward.   
      
   18 And 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.   
      
   19 But 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;   
      
   20 Until 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.   
      
   21 And 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.   
      
   22 Ye shall not fear them: for the LORD your God he shall fight for you.   
      
   23 And I besought the LORD at that time, saying,   
      
   24 O 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?   
      
   25 I pray thee, let me go over, and see the good land that is beyond   
   Jordan, that goodly mountain, and Lebanon.   
      
   26 But 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.   
      
   27 Get 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.   
      
   28 But 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.   
      
   29 So we abode in the valley over against Bethpeor.   
      
   Deuteronomy Chapter 4   
      
   1 Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the   
   judgments, which I teach you, for to do them, that ye may live, and go   
   in and possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers giveth you.   
      
   2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye   
   diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD   
   your God which I command you.   
      
   3 Your eyes have seen what the LORD did because of Baalpeor: for all the   
   men that followed Baalpeor, the LORD thy God hath destroyed them from   
   among you.   
      
   4 But ye that did cleave unto the LORD your God are alive every one of   
   you this day.   
      
   5 Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as the LORD my   
   God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land whither ye go to   
   possess it.   
      
   6 Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your   
   understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these   
   statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding   
   people.   
      
   7 For what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them, as   
   the LORD our God is in all things that we call upon him for?   
      
   8 And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgments so   
   righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?   
      
   9 Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou   
   forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from   
   thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy   
   sons' sons;   
      
   10 Specially the day that thou stoodest before the LORD thy God in   
   Horeb, when the LORD said unto me, Gather me the people together, and I   
   will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the   
   days that they shall live upon the earth, and that they may teach their   
   children.   
      
   11 And ye came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain   
   burned with fire unto the midst of heaven, with darkness, clouds, and   
   thick darkness.   
      
   12 And the LORD spake unto you out of the midst of the fire: ye heard   
   the voice of the words, but saw no similitude; only ye heard a voice.   
      
   13 And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to   
   perform, even ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone.   
      
   14 And the LORD commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and   
   judgments, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to   
   possess it.
