Defeat of Og King of Bashan
1Next we turned and went up along the road toward Bashan, and Og king of Bashan with his whole army marched out to meet us in battle at Edrei. 2The Lord said to me, “Do not be afraid of him, for I have delivered him into your hands, along with his whole army and his land. Do to him what you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon.”
3So the Lord our God also gave into our hands Og king of Bashan and all his army. We struck them down, leaving no survivors. 4At that time we took all his cities. There was not one of the sixty cities that we did not take from them—the whole region of Argob, Og’s kingdom in Bashan. 5All these cities were fortified with high walls and with gates and bars, and there were also a great many unwalled villages. 6We completely destroyed3:6 The Hebrew term refers to the irrevocable giving over of things or persons to the Lord, often by totally destroying them. them, as we had done with Sihon king of Heshbon, destroying3:6 The Hebrew term refers to the irrevocable giving over of things or persons to the Lord, often by totally destroying them. every city—men, women and children. 7But all the livestock and the plunder from their cities we carried off for ourselves.
8So at that time we took from these two kings of the Amorites the territory east of the Jordan, from the Arnon Gorge as far as Mount Hermon. 9(Hermon is called Sirion by the Sidonians; the Amorites call it Senir.) 10We took all the towns on the plateau, and all Gilead, and all Bashan as far as Salekah and Edrei, towns of Og’s kingdom in Bashan. 11(Og king of Bashan was the last of the Rephaites. His bed was decorated with iron and was more than nine cubits long and four cubits wide.3:11 That is, about 14 feet long and 6 feet wide or about 4 meters long and 1.8 meters wide It is still in Rabbah of the Ammonites.)
Division of the Land
12Of the land that we took over at that time, I gave the Reubenites and the Gadites the territory north of Aroer by the Arnon Gorge, including half the hill country of Gilead, together with its towns. 13The rest of Gilead and also all of Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I gave to the half-tribe of Manasseh. (The whole region of Argob in Bashan used to be known as a land of the Rephaites. 14Jair, a descendant of Manasseh, took the whole region of Argob as far as the border of the Geshurites and the Maakathites; it was named after him, so that to this day Bashan is called Havvoth Jair.3:14 Or called the settlements of Jair) 15And I gave Gilead to Makir. 16But to the Reubenites and the Gadites I gave the territory extending from Gilead down to the Arnon Gorge (the middle of the gorge being the border) and out to the Jabbok River, which is the border of the Ammonites. 17Its western border was the Jordan in the Arabah, from Kinnereth to the Sea of the Arabah (that is, the Dead Sea), below the slopes of Pisgah.
18I commanded you at that time: “The Lord your God has given you this land to take possession of it. But all your able-bodied men, armed for battle, must cross over ahead of the other Israelites. 19However, your wives, your children and your livestock (I know you have much livestock) may stay in the towns I have given you, 20until the Lord gives rest to your fellow Israelites as he has to you, and they too have taken over the land that the Lord your God is giving them across the Jordan. After that, each of you may go back to the possession I have given you.”
Moses Forbidden to Cross the Jordan
21At that time I commanded Joshua: “You have seen with your own eyes all that the Lord your God has done to these two kings. The Lord will do the same to all the kingdoms over there where you are going. 22Do not be afraid of them; the Lord your God himself will fight for you.”
23At that time I pleaded with the Lord: 24“Sovereign Lord, you have begun to show to your servant your greatness and your strong hand. For what god is there in heaven or on earth who can do the deeds and mighty works you do? 25Let me go over and see the good land beyond the Jordan—that fine hill country and Lebanon.”
26But because of you the Lord was angry with me and would not listen to me. “That is enough,” the Lord said. “Do not speak to me anymore about this matter. 27Go up to the top of Pisgah and look west and north and south and east. Look at the land with your own eyes, since you are not going to cross this Jordan. 28But commission Joshua, and encourage and strengthen him, for he will lead this people across and will cause them to inherit the land that you will see.” 29So we stayed in the valley near Beth Peor.
击败巴珊王噩
1“之后，我们前往巴珊，巴珊王噩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的亚摩利王西宏一样对付他。’
3“我们的上帝耶和华把巴珊王噩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，即巴珊王噩的所有城邑，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像对付希实本王西宏一样，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我们攻占了高原的城邑、整个基列和巴珊，远至巴珊王噩的城邑撒迦和以得来。 11巴珊王噩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，宽一米八。
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把基列山区的另一半，以及噩的王国巴珊全境——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。他按自己的名字给巴珊取名叫哈倭特·雅珥，沿用至今。 15我又把基列分给玛吉， 16把从基列到亚嫩谷，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“那时我吩咐他们说，‘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，做以色列同胞的先锋。 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那时我吩咐约书亚说，‘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们争战。’
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的大能作为相比！ 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，亲眼看看那片土地，因为你不可过约旦河。 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，使他们承受你眺望的那片土地。’ 29当时，我们驻扎在伯·毗珥对面的谷中。
