Deuteronomy 3:1-10 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

1. “We turned and went on the road to Bashan. King Og of Bashan and all his men came out to fight against us at Edrei.

2. The Lord said to me, ‘Don’t be afraid of Og. I have decided to give him to you. I will give you all his men and his land. You will defeat him just as you defeated Sihon, the Amorite king who ruled in Heshbon.’

3. “So the Lord our God let us defeat King Og of Bashan. We destroyed him and all his men. Not one of them was left.

4. Then we took all the cities that belonged to Og at that time. We took all the cities from Og’s people—60 cities in the area of Argob, Og’s kingdom in Bashan.

5. All these cities were very strong. They had high walls, gates, and strong bars on the gates. There were also many towns that did not have walls.

6. We destroyed them just as we destroyed the cities of King Sihon of Heshbon. We completely destroyed every city and all the people in them, even the women and the babies.

7. But we kept all the cattle and the valuable things from the cities for ourselves.

8. “In that way we took the land from the two Amorite kings. We took that land on the east side of the Jordan River, from Arnon Valley to Mount Hermon.

9. (The people from Sidon call Mount Hermon, Sirion, but the Amorites called it Senir.)

10. We took all the cities in the high plain and all of Gilead. We took all of Bashan, all the way to Salecah and Edrei. Salecah and Edrei were cities of Og’s kingdom of Bashan.”
