Devarim 3:12 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 3:12

And this land, which we possessed at that time
Or took possession of, having conquered it; for it still remained in their possession:

from Aroer, which is by the river Arnon:
on the borders of Moab, from thence as far as Gilead was the land which was taken from Sihon king of Heshbon, ( Deuteronomy 2:36 )

and half Mount Gilead, and the cities thereof:
which were taken from Og king of Bashan, ( Deuteronomy 3:10 )

gave I unto the Reubenites, and to the Gadites;
at their request, on certain conditions to be performed by them, afterwards repeated.

Devarim 3:12 In-Context

10 All the towns of the plain, and all Gil‘ad, and all Bashan, unto Salchah and Edrei, towns of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.

11 For only Og Melech HaBashan remained of the remnant of Refa’im; hinei, his bedstead was a bedstead of barzel. Is it not in Rabbah of the Bnei Amon? Nine regular cubits was the length thereof, and four cubits the breadth of it.

12 And ha’aretz hazot, which we possessed at that time, from Aroer, which is by the Wadi Arnon, and half way up the hill country of Gil‘ad, and the towns thereof, gave I unto the Reuveni and Gadi.

13 And the rest of Gil‘ad, and all Bashan, being the kingdom of Og, gave I unto the half tribe of Menasheh; all the region of Argov, with all Bashan, which was called Eretz Refa’im.

14 Yair ben Menasheh took all the region of Argov unto the border of Geshuri and Maachati, and called them after shmo (his own name), HaBashan Havot Yair, unto hayom hazeh.
