Deuteronomy 3:12 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 3:12

And this land, which we possessed at that time
Or took possession of, having conquered it; for it still remained in their possession:

from Aroer, which is by the river Arnon:
on the borders of Moab, from thence as far as Gilead was the land which was taken from Sihon king of Heshbon, ( Deuteronomy 2:36 )

and half Mount Gilead, and the cities thereof:
which were taken from Og king of Bashan, ( Deuteronomy 3:10 )

gave I unto the Reubenites, and to the Gadites;
at their request, on certain conditions to be performed by them, afterwards repeated.

Deuteronomy 3:12 In-Context

10 including all the towns on the plateau, in the regions of Gilead and Bashan, and all the way to Salecah and Edrei—all the towns that belonged to Og's kingdom in Bashan.

11 (By the way, Bashan's King Og was the last of the Rephaim. His bed was made of iron. Isn't it still in the Ammonite town of Rabbah? By standard measurements, it was thirteen and a half feet long and six feet wide.)

12 So this is the land we possessed at that time. I gave some of it, from Aroer, which is beside the Arnon River, up through half of the Gilead highlands, along with its cities, to the Reubenites and the Gadites.

13 The rest of the Gilead region and all of Bashan, Og's kingdom, I gave to half the tribe of Manasseh. (Now the whole Argob area, including all of Bashan, was often called Rephaim Country.

14 Jair, from the tribe of Manasseh, took possession of the entire Argob region, as far as the border with the Geshurites and the Maacathites. He named the Bashan area after himself, Jair's Settlement. That's what it's still called today.)
