Deuteronômio 3:4 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 3:4

And we took all his cities at that time
Not only Edrei where the battle was fought, and Ashteroth his capital city, but all the rest in his kingdom:

there was not a city which we took not from them;
not one stood out, but all surrendered on summons; the number of which follows:

three score cities;
which was a large number for so small a country, and shows it to be well inhabited:

all the region of Argob;
which was a small province of

the kingdom of Og in Bashan:
Aben Ezra and Jarchi observe, that it was called after a man, i.e. whose name was Argob; the Targum of Onkelos names it Tracona, and the Targum of Jonathan Targona, the same with Trachonitis in Josephus and other authors; see ( Luke 3:1 ) , Jerom relates

FOOTNOTES:

F8 that in his time, about Gerasa, a city of Arabia, fifteen miles from it to the west, there was a village which was called Arga, which seems to carry in it some remains of the ancient name of this country; and the Samaritan version, in all places where Argob is, calls it Rigobaah; and in the Misnah ^F9 mention is made of a place called Ragab, beyond Jordan, famous for its being the second place for the best oil.

Deuteronômio 3:4 In-Context

2 Então o Senhor me disse: Não o temas, porque to entreguei nas mãos, a ele e a todo o seu povo, e a sua terra; e farás a ele como fizeste a Siom, rei dos amorreus, que habitava em Hesbom.

3 Assim o Senhor nosso Deus nos entregou nas mãos também a Ogue, rei de Basã, e a todo o seu povo; de maneira que o ferimos, até que não lhe ficou sobrevivente algum.

4 E naquele tempo tomamos todas as suas cidades; nenhuma cidade houve que não lhes tomássemos: sessenta cidades, toda a região de Argobe, o reino de Ogue em Basã,

5 cidades estas todas fortificadas com altos muros, portas e ferrolhos, além de muitas cidades sem muros.

6 E destruímo-las totalmente, como fizéramos a Siom, rei de Hesbom, fazendo perecer a todos, homens, mulheres e pequeninos.
