Deuteronomy 3:3-14 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

3. So the Lord our God delivered into our hands, Og also the king of Basan, and all his people: and we utterly destroyed them,

4. Wasting all his cities at one time, there was not a town that escaped us: sixty cities, all the country of Argob the kingdom of Og in Basan.

5. All the cities were fenced with very high walls, and with gates and bars, besides innumerable towns that had no walls.

6. And we utterly destroyed them, as we had done to Sehon the king of Hesebon, destroying every city, men and women and children:

7. But the cattle and the spoils of the cities we took for our prey.

8. And we took at that time the land out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorrhites, that were beyond the Jordan: from the torrent Amen unto the mount Hermon,

9. Which the Sidonians call Sarion, and the Amorrhites Sanir:

10. All the cities that are situate in the plain, and all the land of Galaad and Basan as far as Selcha and Edrai, cities of the kingdom of Og in Basan.

11. For only Og king of Basan remained of the race of the giants. His bed of iron is shewn, which is in Rabbath of the children of Ammon, being nine cubits long, and four broad after the measure of the cubit of a man's hand.

12. And we possessed the land at that time from Aroer, which is upon the bank of the torrent Amen, unto the half of mount Galaad: and I gave the cities thereof to Ruben and Gad.

13. And I delivered the other part of Galaad, and all Basan the kingdom of Og to the half tribe of Manasses, all the country of Argob: and all Basan is called the Land of giants.

14. Jair the son of Manasses possessed all the country of d Argob unto the borders of Gessuri, and Machati. And he called Basan by his own name, Havoth Jair, that is to say, the towns of Jair, until this present day.
