Deuteronomio 3:4 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 3:4

And we took all his cities at that time
Not only Edrei where the battle was fought, and Ashteroth his capital city, but all the rest in his kingdom:

there was not a city which we took not from them;
not one stood out, but all surrendered on summons; the number of which follows:

three score cities;
which was a large number for so small a country, and shows it to be well inhabited:

all the region of Argob;
which was a small province of

the kingdom of Og in Bashan:
Aben Ezra and Jarchi observe, that it was called after a man, i.e. whose name was Argob; the Targum of Onkelos names it Tracona, and the Targum of Jonathan Targona, the same with Trachonitis in Josephus and other authors; see ( Luke 3:1 ) , Jerom relates

FOOTNOTES:

F8 that in his time, about Gerasa, a city of Arabia, fifteen miles from it to the west, there was a village which was called Arga, which seems to carry in it some remains of the ancient name of this country; and the Samaritan version, in all places where Argob is, calls it Rigobaah; and in the Misnah ^F9 mention is made of a place called Ragab, beyond Jordan, famous for its being the second place for the best oil.

Deuteronomio 3:4 In-Context

2 Pero el Señor
me dijo: “No le tengas miedo, porque yo te he dado la victoria sobre Og y sobre todo su ejército, y te daré todo su territorio. Trátalo de la misma manera que trataste a Sehón, rey de los amorreos, quien gobernaba en Hesbón”.

3 »Así que el Señor
nuestro Dios nos entregó al rey Og y a toda su gente, y los matamos a todos. No quedó nadie con vida.

4 Conquistamos cada una de las sesenta ciudades del reino, es decir, a toda la región de Argot, dentro de Basán. No dejamos ni una sola ciudad sin conquistar.

5 Esas ciudades estaban fortificadas con murallas altas y portones con rejas. Al mismo tiempo, también conquistamos muchas ciudades que no estaban amuralladas.

6 Destruimos por completo
el reino de Basán, de la misma manera que habíamos destruido a Sehón, rey de Hesbón. En cada ciudad conquistada, aniquilamos a toda la gente, tanto hombres como mujeres y niños.
