Deuteronomy 3:2 In-Context

1 "Then we turned, and we went up the road to Bashan, and Og the king of Bashan came out to meet us, he and all [of] his army for the battle [at] Edrei.

2 And Yahweh said to me, 'You should not fear him, for I have given him and all [of] his army and his land into your hand. And [so] you will do to him as you did to Sihon the king of the Amorites, who [was] reigning in Heshbon.'

3 And [so] Yahweh our God also gave Og the king of Bashan, and all of his army into our hand, and we struck him down until not a survivor remained to him.

4 And we captured all [of] his towns at that time; [there] was not a city that we did not take from them.

5 All of these [were] fortified towns with high walls, gates, and bars, {apart from} very many [of] the villages of the open country.
