Chapter 3
Deuteronomy Chapter 3 Credits G-d of His Power and Might in Fulfilling His Promise to the Children of Israel
If You Think Sinning Is Just A Made-up Stuff It Only Means You Got Used To It That Guilt No Longer Exist
As it is for a hired killer. For the first time or thrice he cannot sleep. But once repeated it became his nature.
*Act now if there remains a guilt in you. Before it is too late that you would render G-d as a fairy tale or fiction.
Hashem our God, gave into our hand also Og king of the Bashan and his entire people, and we smote him until his entire people, and we smote him until no survivor was left of him.
3:3
We destroyed them, as we did to Sihon king of Heshbon, destroying every populated city, the women and small children.
:6
And all animals and the booty of the cities we looted for ourselves.
:7
I commanded you at that time, saying, “Hashem, your God, gave you this Land for a possession, armed shall you cross over before your brethren, the Children of Israel, all the men of accomplishment.
:18
I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, “Your eyes have seen everything that Hashem, your God, has done to these two kings; so will Hashem do to all the kings where you cross over.
:21
You shall not fear them, for Hashem your God – He shall wage war for you.”
:22
I implored Hashem at that time, saying, “My Lord, Hashem/Elohim, You have begun to show Your servant Your greatness and Your strong hand, for what power is there in heaven or on the earth that can perform according to Your deeds and according to Your mighty acts?
:23-24
Let me now cross and see the good Land that is on the other side of the Jordan, this good mountain and the Lebanon.”
:25
But Hashem became angry with me because of you, and He did not listen to me; Hashem said to me, “It is too much for you! Do not continue to speak to Me further about this matter.
:26
But you shall command Joshua, and strengthen him and give him resolve, for he shall cross before this people and he shall cause them to inherit the Land that you will see.”
:29
1 Then we turned and went up the way of Bashan, and Og, the king of Bashan, came forth toward us, he and all his people, to war at Edrei
2 And the Lord said to me, “Do not fear him, for I have given him, all his people, and his land into your hand, and you shall do to him as you did to Sihon, king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon.”
3 So the Lord, our God, delivered into our hands also Og, the king of Bashan and all his people, and we smote him until no remnant remained of him.
4 And we conquered all his cities at that time; there was not a town that we did not take from them sixty cities, all the territory of Argob the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
5 All these cities were fortified with high walls, double doors, and bolts, in addition to a great many unwalled cities.
6 And we utterly destroyed them as we did to Sihon, king of Heshbon, utterly destroying every city, the men, the women, and the young children.
7 But all the beasts and the spoils of the cities, we took as spoil for ourselves.
8 At that time we took the land out of the hands of the two kings of the Amorites who were on that side of the Jordan, from the brook of Arnon to Mount Hermon.
9 The Sidonians call Hermon Sirion; and the Amorites call it Senir.
10 All the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, to Salchah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
11 For only Og, king of Bashan, was left from the remnant of the Rephaim. His bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is it not in Rabbah of the children of Ammon? Nine cubits was its length, and four cubits its breadth, according to the cubit of a man.
12 And this land, which we possessed at that time; from Aro’er, which is by the brook of Arnon, and half of Mount Gilead and its cities, I gave to the Reubenites and to the Gadites.
13 And the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I gave to the half tribe of Manasseh; all the territory of Argob, all of Bashan; that is called the land of Rephaim.
14 Jair the son of Manasseh took all the territory of Argob to the boundaries of the Geshurites and the Maachathites, and he called them, even Bashan, after his own name, villages of Jair, to this day.
15 And to Machir I gave Gilead.
16 And to the Reubenites and to the Gadites I gave from Gilead to the brook of Arnon, the midst of the brook and the border, until the brook of Jabbok, which is the boundary of the children of Ammon,
17 the plain, the Jordan and the border thereof, from Kinnereth to the sea of the plain the Sea of Salt, under the waterfalls of Pisgah, eastward.
18 And I commanded you at that time saying, “The Lord, your God, has given you this land to possess it; pass over, armed, before your brothers, the children of Israel, all who are warriors.
19 But your wives, your young children, and your cattle for I know that you have much cattle shall dwell in your cities which I have given you,
20 until the Lord has given rest to your brothers, just as [He did] for you, and until they also possess the land which the Lord, your God, is giving them on the other side of the Jordan, then every man shall return to his possession, which I have given to you.”
21 And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, “Your eyes have seen all that the Lord, your God, has done to these two kings. So will the Lord do to all the kingdoms through which you will pass.
22 Do not fear them, for it is the Lord, your God, Who is fighting for you.”
23 I entreated the Lord at that time, saying,
24 “O Lord God, You have begun to show Your servant Your greatness and Your strong hand, for who is [like] God in heaven or on earth who can do as Your deeds and Your might?
25 Let me cross over and see the good land that is on the other side of the Jordan, this good mountain and the Lebanon.”
26 But the Lord was angry with me because of you, and He did not listen to me, and the Lord said to me, “It is enough for you; speak to Me no more regarding this matter.
27 Go up to the top of the hill and lift up your eyes westward and northward and southward and eastward and see with your eyes, for you shall not cross this Jordan.
28 But command Joshua and strengthen him and encourage him, for he will cross over before this people, and he will make them inherit the land which you will see.
29 And we abided in the valley opposite Beth Peor.

TORAH
(Law)
The book of Deuteronomy, also known as Devarim in Hebrew (“Words”), is the fifth book of the Hebrew Bible or the Christian Old Testament. It contains a series of speeches by Moses to the Israelites, just before they are about to enter the promised land, which summarize and expand upon many of the laws and commandments given in the earlier books of the Torah. The word Deuteronomy literally means “second law,” indicating that Moses is rehearsing the law with the Israelites before they enter the land.
The book is often seen as a sort of farewell address by Moses, containing some of his final instructions and blessings to the people he has led for many years. It emphasizes the importance of following G-d’s commandments and remaining faithful to Him, while warning against the dangers of disobedience and idolatry. Overall, Deuteronomy serves as a significant text in the history of Judaism and Christianity, containing many of the foundational beliefs and values of these religions.
