Numbers 21:34 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 21:34

And the Lord said unto Moses, fear him not
Og being of a gigantic stature, and his forces numerous, might cause some fear in Moses, and in the people, and therefore the Lord encouraged them not to be afraid of him and his army:

for I have delivered him into thy hand, and all his people, and his
land;
that is, he had determined to do it, and now promised it, and it might be depended on and looked upon as if actually done:

and thou shalt do to him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites,
which dwelt at Heshbon;
slay him and his people, and take possession of his country.

Numbers 21:34 In-Context

32 Moses sent to spy out Jazer; and they captured its villages, and dispossessed the Amorites who were there.
33 Then they turned and went up the road to Bashan; and King Og of Bashan came out against them, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei.
34 But the Lord said to Moses, "Do not be afraid of him; for I have given him into your hand, with all his people, and all his land. You shall do to him as you did to King Sihon of the Amorites, who ruled in Heshbon."
35 So they killed him, his sons, and all his people, until there was no survivor left; and they took possession of his land.
