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.

2 Pero el SEÑOR me dijo: “No le tengan miedo, porque se lo he entregado a ustedes, con todo su ejército y su territorio. Hagan con él lo que hicieron con Sijón, rey de los amorreos, que reinaba en Hesbón”.

3 »Y así sucedió. El SEÑOR nuestro Dios también entregó en nuestras manos al rey de Basán y a todo su ejército. Los derrotamos, y nadie vivió para contarlo.

4 En aquella ocasión conquistamos todas sus ciudades. Nos apoderamos de las sesenta ciudades que se encontraban en la región de Argob, del reino de Og en Basán.

5 Todas esas ciudades estaban fortificadas con altos muros, y con portones y barras, sin contar las muchas aldeas no amuralladas.

6 Tal como hicimos con Sijón, rey de Hesbón, destruimos por completo las ciudades con sus varones, mujeres y niños,
