1. When we turned on to the road that leads to Bashan, King Og of Bashan led out his whole army to fight us at Edrei.

2. But the Lord told me, “Moses, don't be afraid of King Og. I am going to help you defeat him and his army and take over his land. Destroy him and his people, just as you did with the Amorite King Sihon of Heshbon.”

3-6. The Lord our God helped us destroy Og and his army and conquer his entire kingdom of Bashan, including the Argob region. His kingdom had lots of villages and sixty towns with high walls and gates that locked with bars. We completely destroyed them all, killing everyone,

7. but keeping the livestock and everything else of value.

8. Sihon and Og had ruled Amorite kingdoms east of the River Jordan. Their land stretched from the gorge of the River Arnon in the south to Mount Hermon in the north, and we captured it all.

9. Mount Hermon is called Mount Sirion by the people of Sidon, and it is called Mount Senir by the Amorites.
