CAPI. III

THen we turned and went vp the way to [unspec A] Basan. * 1.1 And Og the kyng of Basan came out agaynst vs: he and al his peo¦ple to battayle at Edrai. And the Lorde sayd vnto me: Feare hym not, for I wyll delyuer hym, and all his people & his lande in to thy hande, and thou shalte do vnto hym, as thou dydest vnto Sehon kynge of the Amorites, whiche dwelte at Hesbon. And so the Lorde our god delyuered into our handes. Og also the kyng of Basan and all his folke. And we smote hym, vntyl none was lefte hym alyue.

And we toke all his cyties the same ceason (neyther was there a cytie which we toke not from them) euen thre score cyties thorowout all the region of Argob, the kyngdom of Og in Basan. All these Cytyes also were made stronge with hye walles, gates and barres, besyde vnwalled townes a great meanye.

And we vtterly destroyed them, as we dyd vnto Sehon kynge of Hesbon, bryngyng to nought all the cyties, with men, women and chyldren. But all the cattell and the spoyle of the cyties, we caught for our selues.

And thus we toke the same ceason, out of [unspec B] the hande of two kyng{is} of the Amorites, the lande that was on the other syde Iordan frō the ryuer of Arnon vnto mounte Hermon, (whiche Hermon the Sidons call Sirion, & the Amorites call it Senyr) al the cyties that lay in the playne, and all Gilead and all Ba∣san vnto Salecha and Adrat, Cyties of the kyngdome of Og in Basan. For onely Og kyng of Basan remayned of the remenaunt of the gyaunt{is}, whose bed was a bed of yron. And is it not yet at Rabah amonge the chyl∣dren of Ammon? ix. cubites doth the lengthe therof conteyne, and foure cubites the bredth of it, after the cubite of a man. And so we con¦quered this lande the same tyme, from Aroer whiche is by the ryuer of Arnon, vnto halfe mount Gilead, * 1.2 and the cyties therof gaue I vnto the Rubenites and Gaddites.

And the rest of Gilead and all Basan of the kyngdom of Og, gaue I vnto the halfe tribe of Manasse, euen all the regyon of Argob with all Basan: whiche is called the lande of

Glauntes. Iair the sonne of Manasse toke all the regyon of Argob vnto the coostes of Gesuri and Maachati, and called them after his owne name: Basan Nauoth Iair vnto this day. And I gaue Gilead vnto Machir.

And vnto the Rubenites and Gaddites I [unspec C] gaue halfe Gilead vnto the ryuer of Arnon / halfe the valey & beyonde, euen vnto the ry∣uer Iabocke, which is the border of the chil∣dren of Ammon, the playne also (❀ of the vvyldernesse) and Iordan, & the coost therof, from Ceneroth euen vnto the see whiche is in the playne, euē the salt see vnder the sprin∣ges of the hyll, Eastwarde. * 1.3 And I cōmaun¦ded you the same tyme, sayenge: the Lordē youre GOD hath gyuen you this lande to enioye it: ye shall go harnessed before youre brethren the Chyldren of Israell, all that are mete for the warre. Your wyues onely, your chyldren, and your cattell (for I wote that ye haue moche cattell) shal abyde in your cityes whiche I haue gyuen you, vntyll the Lorde haue gyuen rest vnto youre brethren as well as vnto you, and vntyll they also haue con∣quered the lande, whiche the lorde your god hath gyuen them beyonde Iordan: and then shall ye returne agayne, euery man vnto his possession whiche I haue gyuen you.

* 1.4 And I warned Iosua the same tyme, saynge: thyne eyes haue sene al that the lorde [unspec D] your god hath done vnto these two kynges / euen so shal he do vnto all kyngdomes why∣ther thou goest: Ye shall not feare them, for the Lorde your god, he shall fyght for you. And I besought the Lorde the same tyme / sayenge: O Lorde God, thou hast begonne to shew thy seruaunt thy greatnesse, and thy myghtye hand, for els where is there a God in heuen or in earth, that can do after thy work{is}, and after thy power? Let me go ouer & se the good lande that is beyonde Iordan, that goodly ☞ moūtayne, & Libanon. * 1.5 But the lorde was angrye w^t me for your sakes, & wolde not heare me. And the lorde sayd vnto me: be content, speake no more vnto me of this matter. * 1.6 Get the vp into the toppe of the hyll, and lyfte vp thyne eyes westwarde, northwarde, southwarde, & Eastwarde, & be∣holde it with thine eyes, for thou shalt not go ouer this Iordan. But charge Iosua, & cou∣rage hym, & bolden hym. * 1.7 For he shall go be¦fore this people, & he shall deuyde vnto them the lande whiche y^u shalt se. And so we abode in the valey ouer agaynst the house of Peor.
