Chap. III.
The victorie against og king of Basan of the giants stock is repeted, 12. Ruben
Gad and halfe tribe of Mana&esset;es haue possession on the other side Iordan
from their brethren. 23. Moyses praying that he may goe ouer Iordan, for
the sinnes of the people is denied.
1 Therfore turning we went vp by the way of Basan:
and Og the king of Basan came forth to meete vs with
his people to fight in Edrai.
2 And our Lord said to me: Feare
him not: because he is deliuered into thy hand with al his
people and his land: and thou shalt doe to him as thou hast
done to Sehon king of the Amorrheites, that dwelt in Hesebon.
3 Therfore the Lord our God deliuered into our
handes Og also the king of Basan, and al his people: and we
stroke them to vtter destruction,
4 waisting al his cities at
one time, there was not a towne that escaped vs: sixtie cities,
al the countrie of Argob the kingdome of Og in Basan.
5 Al
the cities were fensed with verie high walles, and with gates
and barres, beside innumerable townes that had no walles.
6 And we destroyed them, as we had done to Sehon the king
of Hesebon, destroying euerie citie, and men and wemen

and children:
7 but the cattel, and the spoyles of the cities
we tooke for our praye.
8 And we tooke at that time the
land out of the hand of two kinges of the Amorrheites, that
were beyond Iordan: from the torrent Arnon vnto the
mountaine Hermon,
9 which the Sidonians cal Sarion, and
the Amorrheites Sanir:
10 al the cities, that are situated in
the plaine, and al the Land of Galaad and Basan as farre as
Selcha, and Edrai cities of the kingdome of Og in Basan.
11 For onlie Og the king of Basan remayned of the stocke
of giantes. his bed of yron is shewed, which is in Rabbath
of the children of Ammon, hauing nine cubites in length,
and foure in breadth after the measure of note the cubite of a
mans hand.
12 And we possessed the Land at that time from
Aroer, which is vpon the banke of the torrent Arnon, vnto
the halfe part of mount Galaad: and the cities therof I gaue
to Ruben and Gad.
13 And the other part of Galaad, and al
Basan of the kingdome of Og, I deliuered to the halfe tribe
of Manasses, al the countrie of Argob: and al Basan is called
the Land of giantes.
14 Iair the sonne of Manasses possessed
al the countrie of Argob vnto the borders of Gessuri, and
Machati. And he called Basan by his owne name, Hauoth
Iair, that is to say, the townes of Iair, note vntil this present
day.
15 To Machir also I gaue Galaad.
16 And to the tribes
of Ruben and Gad I gaue of the Land of Galaad as farre as
the Torrent Arnon, halfe of the torrent, and the confines
vnto the torrent Icboc, which is the border of the childr&ebar; of
Ammon:
17 and the plaine of the wildernesse, and Iordan, and
the borders of Cenereth vnto the sea of the desert, which is
most salt, at the foote of mount Phasga against the east.
18 And
I comm&abar;ded you at that time, saying: The Lord your God geveth
you this land for an inheritance, goe wel appointed before
your brethren the children of Israel al you strong men:
19 except your wiues, and litle ones and your cattel. For I
know you haue much cattel, & they must remaine in the cities,
which I haue deliuered you,
20 vntil our Lord geue rest to
your brethren, as he hath geuen to you: and they also possesse
the Land, which he wil geue them beyond Iordan: then shal
euerie man returne to his possession, which I haue geuen you.
21 Iosue also at that time I commanded, saying: Thyne eyes
haue seene what the Lord your God hath done to these two
kinges: so wil he doe to al the kingdomes, to the which thou

shalt passe.
22 Feare them not: for the Lord your God wil fight
for you.
23 And I prayed our Lord at that time, saying:
24
God thou hast begonne to shew vnto thy seruant thy greatnes,
and most mightie hand. for neither is there other God
either in heauen, or in earth, that is able to doe thy workes,
and to be compared to thy strength.
25 I wil passe ouer
therfore, and wil see this excellent Land beyond Iordan,
and this goodlie mountaine, and Libanus.
26 And our
Lord was angrie with me note for you, and heard me not,
but said to me: It sufficeth thee: speake no more to me of
this matter.
27 Goe vp to the toppe of Phasga, and cast thine
cies round about to the west, and to the north, and the south,
and the east, and behold it. for thou shalt not passe this Iordan.
28 Command Iosue, and encourage and strenghen him: for
he shal goe before this people, and shal diuide vnto them
the Land, which thou shalt see.
29 And we abode in the valley
against the temple of Phogor.
