¶ The .iii. Chapter.
¶ Thynges that chaunsed from the victorie of the
two kynges Sehon and Og vnto the Institucyon
of Iosue in Moses steade.
what victories Israel had
A Then we turned ∧ w&ebar;t vp the waye
to Basan. noteAnd Og the kynge of
Basan came out agaynst vs: he and
all hys people to battel at Edrai.
And the Lord sayde vnto me: feare him not,
for I wyll delyuer hym, ∧ all his people and
hys lande into thy hande, and thou shalt do
vnto him, as thou dyddest vnto Sehon kinge
of the Amorites, which dwelt at Hesbon.
And so the Lorde oure God delyuered into
oure handes, Og also the kynge of Basan
and all hys folke. And we smote him, vntyll
none was lefte hym alyue.
And we toke all his cyties the same ceason
(nether was there a cytie which we toke not
from them) eu&ebar; thre score cyties thorow out
all the regi&obar; of Argob, the kyngdome of Og
in Basan. All these cyties also were made
stronge with hye walles, gates and barres,
besyde vnwalled townes a greate meanye.
And we vtterly destroyed them, as we dyd
vnto Sehon kynge of Hesbon, bringyng to
nought all the cyties, with men, wemen and
chyldren. But all the catell and the spoyle of
the cyties, we caughte for oure selues.
B And thus we toke the same ceason, out of
the hande of two kynges of the Amorites,
the lande that was on the other syde Iordan,
from the ryuer of Arnon vnto mount Hermon
(whych Hermon the Sidons call Syrion,
and the Amorites call it Senyr) all the
cyties that laye in the playne, and all Gilead
and all Basan vnto Salecha and Edrai, cityes
of the kyngdome of Og in Basan. For
onely Og kynge of Basan remayned of the
remnaunt of the gyauntes, whose bed was
a bed of yron. And is it not yet at Rabah amonge
the chyldren of Ammon? ix. cubytes
doth the length therof conteyne, and foure
cubytes the breadth of it, after the cubite of a
man. And so we conquered this lande the same
tyme, from Aroer whych is by the ryuer
of Arnon, vnto halfe mount Gilead, note ∧ the
cities therof gaue I vnto the Rubenites and
Gaddites. And the rest of Gilead and all Basan
of the kyngdome of Og, gaue I vnto the
halfe trybe of Manasse: euen all the rygyon
of Argob with all Basan: which is called the
lande of gyauntes. Iair the sonne of Manasse
toke all the region of Argob vnto the coastes
of Gesuri and Maachati,
C and called th&ebar;
after hys owne name: Basan Hauoth Iair
vnto thys daye. And I gaue Gilead vnto
Machir. And vnto the Rubenites and Gaddites
I gaue halfe Gilead vnto the ryuer of
Arnon, halfe the valey ∧ beyonde, euen vnto
the ryuer Iabock, which is the border of the
chyldren of Ammon: the playne also (of the
wyldernesse) and Iord&abar; and the coast therof, fr&obar;
Ceneroth euen vnto the see whych is in the
playne, euen the salt see vnder the springes
of the hyll, eastwarde.
-- --
The lawe repeted
noteAnd I commaunded you the same tyme
sayinge: the Lorde youre God hath geuen
you thys lande to enioye it: ye shall go harnessed
before youre brethren the chyldren of
Israel, all that are mete for the warre. Youre
wyues onely, youre chyldren, and youre catell
(for I wote that ye haue moche catell)
shall abyde in youre cyties which I haue geuen
you, vntill the Lorde haue geu&ebar; rest vnto
youre brethren as well as vnto you, and
vntyll they also haue conquered the lande,
whyche the Lord youre God hath geu&ebar; them
beyonde Iordan: and then shall ye returne agayne,
euery man vnto hys possession which
I haue geuen you.
D noteAnd I warned Iosua the same tyme
sayinge: thyne eyes haue sene all þt; the Lorde
youre God hath done vnto these two kinges
eu&ebar; so shall he do vnto all kyngdomes whyther
thou goest. Ye shall not feare them, for
the Lord youre God, he shall fyghte for you.
And I besoughte the Lorde the same tyme
sayinge: O Lorde God, thou hast begonne
to shewe thy seruaunte thy greatnesse and
thy myghtye hande, for els where is there a
God in heau&ebar; or in erth, that can do after thy
workes and after thy power? let me go ouer
and se the good lande that is beyonde Iord&abar;,
that goodly &rhand; mountayne, and Libanon.
noteBut the Lorde was angrye wyth me for
youre sakes, and wolde not heare me. And þe;
Lorde sayed vnto me: be content, speake no
moare vnto me of this matter. noteGet the vp
into the toppe of the hyll, and lyfte vp thyne
eyes westwarde, north warde, southwarde,
and eastewarde, and beholde it wyth thyne
eyes, for thou shalt not go ouer thys Iord&abar;.
But charge Iosua: and courage him, ∧ bold&ebar;
him. noteFor he shal go before this people, and
he shall deuyde vnto them the lande whyche
thou shalt se. And so we abode in the valye
ouer agaynst the house of Peor.
