WILL begin to put the dread of thee and
the lear Of thee upon the nations that are
under the whole heaven who shall hear re-
port Of thee, and shall ,remble and be in an
guIsh because of thee. And sent messen-
gers out Of the wilderness of Kedemoth un
to Sihon king Of Heshbon, with words of
peace, saying, Let me pass through thy land:
! will 60 along by the highway, ! will nei-
therturn unto the right handnor unto The left
Thou shall! sell me meat for money, that
may eat and give me water for money, that
may drink only will pass through on
my feet; las the children of Esau which
dwell in SER, and the Moabtes which dwell
in Ar, did unto me J until shall pass over
Jordan into the land which the Lord thy
God giveth us. 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 appearelh this day
begun to give Slhon and his land before thee:
begin 10 possess, that thou mavest inherit
his land. Then Sihon came out agains. us,
he and all the people, to fight at Jahaz-
And the Lord our God delivered him be-
fore US; and we smole him, and his sons,
and all his people. And we took all his CT
ties at ,ha. time, and utterly destroyed the
men, and the women, and the lif.le ones of
every city; we left none TO remain only
the cattle we took for the prey unto our
selves, and the spoil of the cities which
we took. From Aroer which is by the
brink Of the river of Arnon, and from the
city that is by the river, even unto Gilead,
there was not one city too strong for US ::
The Lord our God delivered all unto US: on
" unto the land Of the children Of Ammon
thou earnest not, nor unto any place of the
river Jabbok, no: unto the cities in the
mountains. nor unto whatsoever the Lord
our God forbade US.
Then we turned, and went up the way to
Basifan and Og the king of Bashan came
out against US, he and all his people to bat
tie al Edrei. And the Lord said unto me.
fear him not; for will deliver him, and all
his people and his land, into thy hand and
thou shalt do unto him as thou didst unto
eihon king Of the Amor,es, which dwelt at
Heshbon. So the Lord our God delivered
into. our hands o., also the king of Bashan,
and all his people: and we smo,e him until
none was lief. to him remaining. And we
took all his cities at that time, there was not
a city which we took not from them, three
score cities, all the region of Argob, the
kingdom of o. in Bashan. All these cities
were fenced with high walls. gates, and bars;
tesides unwalled towns great many. And
We utterly destroyed them, as we did unto
Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying
the men, women, and children, of every city.
But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities,
We took for prey to ourselves. And we
took al that time out of the hand Of two
kings Of the .Amori,es the land that was on
this side Jordan. from the river of Arnon
unto mount Hermon; (Which Hermon the
SiIonians call Sirion, and the Amor.es call
i, Shenir y all the cities Of the plain, and all
G lead, and all Bashan, unto Salchah and
Edrei, cities of.he kingdom Of Og in Bashan.
For only o. king of Bashan remained Of
the remnant of giants; behold his bedstead
w
of the children Of Ammon? nine cubits was
the length thereof. and four cubils the
breadth of it, after the cubit of man.
And this land, which we possessed al tha,
time, from Aroer. which is by the river Ar
non. and half mount GiIead, and the cities
thereof gave ! unto the Reubenites and to
The Gadies. And the rest of Gilead, and all
Bashan, being the kingdom of o., gave
unto the hali-lribe Of Manasseh all the re-
glon of Argob, with all BaShan, which was
called the land of giants. Jair the son Of
Manasseh took all the country of Argob IN
to the coasts Of Geshuri and Maachalhi; and
called them after his own name, Bashan-
havoth- jair, unto this day. And ! gave Gle
ad unto Machr And unto The Reubeniles
and unto the Gadi,es 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 Am
mon the plain also, and Jordan, and the
coas. thereof, from Chinnereth even unto the
sea of the plain, even The salt sea, under
Ashdoih-pisgah eastward.
And commanded you al that time, say
ing. The Lord your God hath given you this
land TO possess it: We shall pass over armed
before your brethren the children of Israel,
all that are meet for the war. But your
wives, and your little ones, and your cattle,
for know that We have much cattle, shall
abide in your cities which have given you;
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 gwen them beyond Jordan +: and
then shall We return every man unto his pos
session, which have given you.
And 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 wilher thou passest. Ye shall
not fear them for the Lord YOUR God he
