Deuteronomy 3:5 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 3:5

All these cities were fenced with high walls, gates, and bars,
&c.] That is, all the cities in the kingdom of Bashan; and though they were, it hindered not their falling into the hands of the Israelites; and this might serve to encourage them against those fears they were possessed of by the spies, with respect to the cities in the land of Canaan; see ( Numbers 13:28 ) ( Deuteronomy 1:28 )

besides unwalled towns a great many;
small towns and villages adjacent to the several cities, as is common.

Deuteronomy 3:5 In-Context

3 Therefore our Lord God betook in our hands also Og, the king of Bashan, and all his people; and we have smitten him unto death, (And so the Lord our God also delivered Og, the king of Bashan, into our hands, with all his people; and we struck down all of them, unto the death,)

4 and we wasted all his cities in one time; no town there was of his that escaped us; we destroyed sixty cities, all the country of Argob, of the realm of Og in Bashan. (and we destroyed all his cities at that time; there was no town of his that escaped us; we destroyed sixty cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.)

5 All the cites were strengthened with most high walls, and with gates and bars; without towns unnumberable, that had no walls (besides the innumerable towns, that had no walls).

6 And we did away those men, as we did to Sihon, king of Heshbon; and we destroyed each city of that land, and the men, and the women, and (the) little children;

7 and we took by prey beasts, and spoils of the cities. (and for prey, we took beasts, and spoils, from all the cities.)
