De 3:1
3:1 Then we turned, and went up the way to Bashan: and Og the
king of Bashan {a} came out against us, he and all his
people, to battle at Edrei.
(a) Therefore aside from the commandment of the Lord, they
had just cause to fight against him.
De 3:5
3:5 All these cities [were] fenced with high walls, gates, and
bars; beside {b} unwalled towns a great many.
(b) As villages and small towns.
De 3:6
3:6 And we utterly destroyed them, as we did unto Sihon king of
Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, {c} women, and
children, of every city.
(c) Because this was God's appointment, therefore it may not
be judged cruel.
De 3:11
3:11 For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of
giants; behold, his {d} bedstead [was] a bedstead of iron;
[is] it not in Rabbath of the children of Ammon? nine
cubits [was] the length thereof, and four cubits the
breadth of it, after the cubit of a man.
(d) The more terrible this giant was, the greater reason
they had to glorify God for the victory.
De 3:14
3:14 Jair the son of Manasseh took all the country of Argob unto
the coasts of Geshuri and Maachathi; and called them after
his own name, Bashanhavothjair, unto {e} this day.
(e) Meaning, when he wrote this history.
De 3:16
3:16 And unto the Reubenites and unto the Gadites I gave from
Gilead even unto the river Arnon half the valley, and the
border even unto the river {f} Jabbok, [which is] the
border of the children of Ammon;
(f) Which separates the Ammonites from the Amorites.
De 3:18
3:18 And I commanded {g} you at that time, saying, The LORD your
God hath given you this land to possess it: ye shall pass
over armed before your brethren the children of Israel, all
[that are] meet for the war.
(g) That is, the Reubenites, Gadites, and half Manasseh, as
in @Nu 32:32.
De 3:21
3:21 And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, Thine eyes
have seen all that the {h} LORD your God hath done unto
these two kings: so shall the LORD do unto all the kingdoms
whither thou passest.
(h) So that the victories did not come by your own wisdom,
strength or multitude.
De 3:24
3:24 O Lord GOD, thou hast begun to shew thy servant thy
greatness, and thy mighty hand: for what God [is there] in
heaven or in earth, that can {i} do according to thy works,
and according to thy might?
(i) He speaks according to the common and corrupt speech of
those who attribute power to idols that only belongs to
God.
De 3:25
3:25 I pray thee, let me go over, and see the good land that
[is] beyond Jordan, that goodly {k} mountain, and Lebanon.
(k) He means Zion, where the Temple should be built, and
God honoured.
De 3:27
3:27 Get thee up into the top of Pisgah, and {l} lift up thine
eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward,
and behold [it] with thine eyes: for thou shalt not go over
this Jordan.
(l) As before he saw by the spirits of prophecy the good
mountain which was Zion: so here his eyes were lifted
up above the order of nature to behold all the
plentiful land of Canaan.
