Números 21:33 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 21:33

And they turned
From Jaazer, after they had taken it, and came back a little way:

and went up by the way of Bashan;
which was a nearer way to Canaan, a fine country abounding with oxen and sheep, having rich pastures, and very famous for its oaks; it had its name from the mountain of Bashan in it, and has been since called Batanea; it was at this time in the hands of the Amorites, and from them it was taken by Israel, as follows: who marched this way for that purpose, or at least were so directed by the providence of God for that end:

and Og king of Bashan went out against them;
who was of the race of the giants, and he himself of a gigantic stature, and was a king of the Amorites, as well as Sihon, ( Deuteronomy 3:8 Deuteronomy 3:11 ) , he came out in an hostile manner against Israel, to stop them going any further:

he, and all his people:
out of his many cities, a numerous army no doubt:

to the battle at Edrei;
where it was fought between him and Israel. Jerom says ^F20 it was in his time called Adara, a famous city of Arabia, twenty four or twenty five miles from Bozra, and six from Ashtaroth Karnaim, the ancient seat of the Rephaim, or giants from whom Og sprung, ( Genesis 14:5 ) , and was the seat of Og now, from whence he came to Edrei or Adara, to meet and fight Israel there; see ( Deuteronomy 1:4 ) .

Números 21:33 In-Context

31 Assim habitou Israel na terra dos amorreus.

32 Depois Moisés mandou espiar a Jazer, e tomaram as suas aldeias e expulsaram os amorreus que ali estavam.

33 Então viraram-se, e subiram pelo caminho de Basã. E Ogue, rei de Basã, saiu-lhes ao encontro, ele e todo o seu povo, para lhes dar batalha em Edrei.

34 Disse, pois, o Senhor a Moisés: Não o temas, porque eu to entreguei na mão, a ele, a todo o seu povo, e � sua terra; e far-lhe-ás como fizeste a Siom, rei dos amorreus, que habitava em Hesbom.

35 Assim o feriram, a ele e seus filhos, e a todo o seu povo, até que nenhum lhe ficou restando; também se apoderaram da terra dele.
