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 ) ,

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

Deuteronomy 3:13 In-Context

11 For only Og the king of Bashan remained of the residue of giants: behold, his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is it not in Rabbah of the children of Ammon? its length was nine cubits, and its breadth four cubits, after the cubit of a man.

12 And this land we took in possession at that time. From Aroer, which is by the river Arnon, and the half of mount Gilead, and its cities, I gave to the Reubenites and to the Gadites;

13 and the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I gave to half the tribe of Manasseh. (The whole region of Argob, even all Bashan, is called a land of giants.

14 Jair the son of Manasseh took the whole region of Argob as far as the border of the Geshurites and Maachathites, and called Bashan after his own name, Havoth-Jair, to this day.)

15 And I gave Gilead to Machir.
