me;) until I shall pass over Jordan into the land which the LORD our God giveth us.
30 But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him: for the LORD thy God hardened his
spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into thy hand, as appeareththis
day.
31 And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have begun to give Sihon and his land before thee: begin
to possess, that thou mayest inherit his land.
32 Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to fight at Jahaz.
33 And the LORD our God delivered him before us; and we smote him, and his sons, and all his
people.
34 And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed the men, and the women, and
the little ones, of every city, we left none to remain:
35 Only the cattle we took for a prey unto ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we took.
36 From Aroer, which isby the brink of the river of Arnon, and fromthe city that isby the
river, even unto Gilead, there was not one city too strong for us: the LORD our God delivered all
unto us:
37 Only unto the land of the children of Ammon thou camest not, norunto any place of the river
Jabbok, nor unto the cities in the mountains, nor unto whatsoever the LORD our God forbad us.
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 werefenced 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 (WhichHermon 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 wasa
bedstead of iron; isit not in Rabbath of the children of Ammon? nine cubits wasthe length
thereof, and four cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man.
12 And this land, whichwe possessed at that time, from Aroer, which isby 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, beingthe 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 isthe 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, eventhe 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, (forI 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 untilthey also
possess the land which the LORD your God hath given them beyond Jordan: and thenshall 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 therein 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 isbeyond 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 itwith 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.
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 oughtfrom 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 arealive 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 isyour wisdom and your understanding in the sight of
the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation isa wise and
understanding people.
7 For what nation is there sogreat, who hathGod sonigh unto them, as the LORD our God isin
all things thatwe call upon him for?
8 And what nation is there sogreat, that hath statutes and judgments sorighteous 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 Speciallythe 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 thatthey 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 hearda voice.
13 And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, eventen
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.
15 Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves; for ye saw no manner of similitude on the day
thatthe LORD spake unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire:
16 Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the
likeness of male or female,
17 The likeness of any beast that ison the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in
the air,
18 The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish that isin the
waters beneath the earth:
19 And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and
the stars, evenall the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them,
which the LORD thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven.
20 But the LORD hath taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, evenout of Egypt,
to be unto him a people of inheritance, as ye arethis day.
21 Furthermore the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, and sware that I should not go over
Jordan, and that I should not go in unto that good land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee foran
inheritance:
22 But I must die in this land, I must not go over Jordan: but ye shall go over, and possess that
good land.
23 Take heed unto yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant of the LORD your God, which he made
with you, and make you a graven image, orthe likeness of any thing, which the LORD thy God
hath forbidden thee.
24 For the LORD thy God isa consuming fire, evena jealous God.
25 When thou shalt beget children, and children's children, and ye shall have remained long in
the land, and shall corrupt yourselves, and make a graven image, orthe likeness of any thing,
and shall do evil in the sight of the LORD thy God, to provoke him to anger:
26 I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall soon utterly perish
from off the land whereunto ye go over Jordan to possess it; ye shall not prolong yourdays upon
it, but shall utterly be destroyed.
27 And the LORD shall scatter you among the nations, and ye shall be left few in number among
the heathen, whither the LORD shall lead you.
28 And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see,
nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.
29 But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him
with all thy heart and with all thy soul.
30 When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, evenin the latter
days, if thou turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice;
31 (For the LORD thy God isa merciful God;) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor
forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them.
32 For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God
