Deuteronomy 3:13 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 3:13

And the rest of Gilead
The other half of the mount, with the cities belonging to it:

and all Bashan, being the kingdom of Og, gave I unto the half tribe of
Manasseh;
see ( Numbers 32:33 )

all the region of Argob, with all Bashan;
the region of Trachonitis, in Bashan; see ( Deuteronomy 3:4 ) ,

which was called the land of giants;
or of Rephaim; this Jarchi says is the country of the Rephaim given to Abraham, ( Genesis 15:20 ) .

Deuteronomy 3:13 In-Context

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.)
15 I also gave Gilead to Machir.
