New International Reader’s Version

Deuteronomy 3:1-29

Israel Wins the Battle Over Og

1Next, we turned and went up along the road toward Bashan. Og marched out with his whole army. They fought against us at Edrei. Og was the king of Bashan. 2The Lord said to me, “Do not be afraid of Og. I have handed him over to you. I have also handed over his whole army and his land. Do to him what you did to Sihon. Sihon was the Amorite king who ruled in Heshbon.”

3So the Lord our God also handed Og, the king of Bashan, and his whole army over to us. We struck them down. We didn’t leave any of them alive. 4At that time we took all his cities. There were 60 of them. We took the whole area of Argob. That was Og’s kingdom in Bashan. 5All those cities had high walls around them. The city gates were made secure with heavy metal bars. There were also large numbers of villages that didn’t have walls. 6We completely destroyed them. We did to them just as we had done to Sihon, the king of Heshbon. We destroyed all their cities. We destroyed the men, women and children. 7But we kept for ourselves the livestock and everything else we took from their cities.

8So at that time we took the territory east of the Jordan River. We captured it from those two Amorite kings. The territory goes all the way from the Arnon River valley to Mount Hermon. 9Hermon is called Sirion by the people of Sidon. The Amorites call it Senir. 10We captured all the towns on the high plains. We took the whole land of Gilead. And we captured the whole land of Bashan as far away as Salekah and Edrei. Those were towns that belonged to Og’s kingdom in Bashan. 11Og, the king of Bashan, was the only Rephaite left. His bed was decorated with iron. It was more than 13 feet long and six feet wide. It is still in the Ammonite city of Rabbah.

Moses Divides Up the Land

12I divided up the land we took over at that time. I gave the tribes of Reuben and Gad the territory north of Aroer by the Arnon River valley. It includes half of the hill country of Gilead together with its towns. 13I gave the rest of Gilead to half of the tribe of Manasseh. I also gave them the whole land of Bashan, the kingdom of Og. The whole area of Argob in Bashan used to be known as a land of the Rephaites. 14Jair took the whole area of Argob. He was from the family line of Manasseh. Argob goes all the way to the border of the people of Geshur and Maakah. It was named after Jair. So Bashan is called Havvoth Jair to this very day. 15I gave Gilead to Makir. 16But I gave to the tribes of Reuben and Gad the territory that reaches from Gilead down to the Arnon River valley. It goes all the way to the Jabbok River. The Jabbok is the northern border of Ammon. The middle of the Arnon River valley is its southern border. 17The western border of Reuben and Gad is the Jordan River in the Arabah Valley. It reaches from the Sea of Galilee to the Dead Sea. It runs below the slopes of Pisgah.

18Here is the command I gave at that time to the tribes of Reuben and Gad and half of the tribe of Manasseh. I said, “The Lord your God has given you this land as your very own. But all your strong men must be prepared for battle. They must cross over ahead of the rest of the Israelites. 19But your wives and children can stay in the towns I’ve given you. You can keep your livestock there too. I know you have a lot of livestock. 20The Lord has given you peace and rest. Then let your families and livestock stay in those towns until the Lord gives peace and rest to the other tribes. And let your families stay until the other tribes have taken over the land the Lord your God is giving them. That land is across the Jordan River. After that, each of you may go back to the land I’ve given you as your very own.”

The Lord Will Not Allow Moses to Cross the Jordan River

21At that time I gave Joshua a command. I said, “Your own eyes have seen everything the Lord your God has done to Sihon and Og. He will do the same thing to all the kingdoms in the land where you are going. 22Don’t be afraid of them. The Lord your God himself will fight for you.”

23At that time I made my appeal to the Lord. I said, 24Lord and King, you have begun to show me how great you are. You have shown me how strong your hand is. You do great works and mighty acts. There isn’t any god in heaven or on earth who can do what you do. 25Let me go across the Jordan River. Let me see the good land beyond it. I want to see that fine hill country and Lebanon.”

26But the Lord was angry with me because of what you did. He wouldn’t listen to me. “That is enough!” the Lord said. “Do not speak to me anymore about this matter. 27Go up to the highest slopes of Pisgah. Look west and north and south and east. Look at the land with your own eyes. But you are not going to go across this Jordan River. 28So appoint Joshua as the new leader. Help him to be brave. Give him hope and strength. He will take these people across the Jordan. You will see the land. But he will lead them into it to take it as their own.” 29So we stayed in the valley near Beth Peor.

申命记 3:1-29

击败巴珊王噩

1“之后,我们前往巴珊巴珊率全军在以得来迎战我们。 2耶和华对我说,‘不要怕他,因为我已把他及其众民和土地交在你手中,你要像从前对付希实本亚摩利西宏一样对付他。’

3“我们的上帝耶和华把巴珊及其众民交在我们手中,我们杀了他们,一个不留。 4我们占领了亚珥歌伯全境,即巴珊的所有城邑,共六十座。 5这些城邑围墙高耸,门闩牢固。我们还占领了许多没有城墙的乡村。 6像对付希实本西宏一样,我们将这些城邑夷为平地,城中的男女老幼一个不留, 7只留下牲畜和财物作战利品。 8于是,我们攻占了约旦河东两个亚摩利王的土地,从亚嫩谷一直到黑门山—— 9西顿人称黑门山为西连亚摩利人称之为示尼珥—— 10攻占了高原的城邑、整个基列巴珊,远至巴珊的城邑撒迦以得来11巴珊是最后一个利乏音人。他的床是铁做的,存放在亚扪人的拉巴城,长四米,宽一点八米。

分配约旦河东之地

12“我们占领了这片土地后,我把亚嫩谷边的亚罗珥以北地区和基列山区的一半及其城邑,分给吕便支派和迦得支派, 13基列山区的另一半,以及的王国巴珊全境——整个亚珥歌伯分给玛拿西半个支派。巴珊地区又被称为利乏音人之地。 14玛拿西的子孙雅珥得到亚珥歌伯全境,远至基述人和玛迦人的边界。他按自己的名字给那地方取名叫哈倭特·雅珥,沿用至今。 15我又把基列分给玛吉16把从基列亚嫩谷,以谷中央为界,远至亚扪人的边界雅博河地区分给吕便支派和迦得支派。 17我还把亚拉巴,就是以约旦河为界,从基尼烈直到东面毗斯迦山脚的亚拉巴海,即盐海地区给了他们。

18“那时我吩咐他们,‘你们的上帝耶和华已经把这些地方赐给你们,但你们所有的战士必须带着兵器过河,做同胞的先锋。 19我知道你们有许多牲畜,你们的妻子、儿女和牲畜可以留在我分给你们的城邑。 20等你们的上帝耶和华使其他以色列人和你们一样有了安身之所,占领了耶和华赐给他们的约旦河西之地后,你们才可以返回我分给你们的家园。’ 21那时我吩咐约书亚,‘你们的上帝耶和华怎样对付那两个王,你都亲眼看见了。耶和华必以同样的方式对付你将去攻占的各国。 22不要怕他们,因为你的上帝耶和华将为你争战。’

摩西不得进入迦南

23“那时,我恳求耶和华,说, 24‘主耶和华啊,你已向仆人彰显你的伟大和权能,天上地下没有神明可与你相比! 25求你让我过去看看约旦河那边的佳美之地——那美好的山区和黎巴嫩。’ 26但因你们的缘故,耶和华向我发怒,不听我的恳求,祂对我说,‘够了,不要再跟我提这件事。 27你可以上毗斯迦山顶,向东南西北眺望,但你不可过约旦河。 28你要委任约书亚,勉励他,支持他,因为他必带领以色列人过河,占领你眺望的那片土地。’ 29当时,我们驻扎在伯·毗珥对面的谷中。
