05:003:007 But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, we took for
a prey to ourselves.
05:003:008 And we took at that time out of the hand of the two kings of
the Amorites the land that was on this side Jordan, from the river of
Arnon unto mount Hermon;
05:003:009 (Which Hermon the Sidonians call Sirion; and the Amorites
call it Shenir;)
05:003:010 All the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan,
unto Salchah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
05:003:011 For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of
giants; behold his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is it not in
Rabbath of the children of Ammon? nine cubits was the length thereof,
and four cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man.
05:003:012 And this land, which we possessed at that time, from Aroer,
which is by the river Arnon, and half mount Gilead, and the cities
thereof, gave I unto the Reubenites and to the Gadites.
05:003:013 And the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, being the kingdom of
Og, gave I unto the half tribe of Manasseh; all the region of Argob,
with all Bashan, which was called the land of giants.
05:003:014 Jair the son of Manasseh took all the country of Argob unto
the coasts of Geshuri and Maachathi; and called them after his own
name, Bashanhavothjair, unto this day.
05:003:015 And I gave Gilead unto Machir.
05:003:016 And unto the Reubenites and unto the Gadites I 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 Ammon;
05:003:017 The plain also, and Jordan, and the coast thereof, from
Chinnereth even unto the sea of the plain, even the salt sea, under
Ashdothpisgah eastward.
05:003:018 And I commanded you at that time, saying, The LORD your God
hath given you this land to possess it: ye shall pass over armed before
your brethren the children of Israel, all that are meet for the war.
05:003:019 But your wives, and your little ones, and your cattle, (for
I know that ye have much cattle,) shall abide in your cities which I
have given you;
05:003:020 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 given them beyond Jordan: and then shall ye return every man
unto his possession, which I have given you.
05:003:021 And I 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 whither thou passest.
05:003:022 Ye shall not fear them: for the LORD your God he shall fight
for you.
05:003:023 And I besought the LORD at that time, saying,
05:003:024 O Lord GOD, thou hast begun to shew thy servant thy
greatness, and thy mighty hand: for what God is there in heaven or in
earth, that can do according to thy works, and according to thy might?
