Israel derrota a Og rey de Basán

(Nm. 21.31-35)

Volvimos, pues, y subimos camino de Basán, y nos salió al encuentro Og rey de Basán para pelear, él y todo su pueblo, en Edrei. Y me dijo Jehová: No tengas temor de él, porque en tu mano he entregado a él y a todo su pueblo, con su tierra; y harás con él como hiciste con Sehón rey amorreo, que habitaba en Hesbón. Y Jehová nuestro Dios entregó también en nuestra mano a Og rey de Basán, y a todo su pueblo, al cual derrotamos hasta acabar con todos. Y tomamos entonces todas sus ciudades; no quedó ciudad que no les tomásemos; sesenta ciudades, toda la tierra de Argob, del reino de Og en Basán. Todas estas eran ciudades fortificadas con muros altos, con puertas y barras, sin contar otras muchas ciudades sin muro. Y las destruimos, como hicimos a Sehón rey de Hesbón, matando en toda ciudad a hombres, mujeres y niños. Y tomamos para nosotros todo el ganado, y los despojos de las ciudades. También tomamos en aquel tiempo la tierra desde el arroyo de Arnón hasta el monte de Hermón, de manos de los dos reyes amorreos que estaban a este lado del Jordán. (Los sidonios llaman a Hermón, Sirión; y los amorreos, Senir.) 10 Todas las ciudades de la llanura, y todo Galaad, y todo Basán hasta Salca y Edrei, ciudades del reino de Og en Basán. 11 Porque únicamente Og rey de Basán había quedado del resto de los gigantes. Su cama, una cama de hierro, ¿no está en Rabá de los hijos de Amón? La longitud de ella es de nueve codos, y su anchura de cuatro codos, según el codo de un hombre.

Defeat of Og King of Bashan

Next we turned and went up along the road toward Bashan, and Og king of Bashan(A) with his whole army marched out to meet us in battle at Edrei.(B) The Lord said to me, “Do not be afraid(C) of him, for I have delivered him into your hands, along with his whole army and his land. Do to him what you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon.”

So the Lord our God also gave into our hands Og king of Bashan and all his army. We struck them down,(D) leaving no survivors.(E) At that time we took all his cities.(F) There was not one of the sixty cities that we did not take from them—the whole region of Argob, Og’s kingdom(G) in Bashan.(H) All these cities were fortified with high walls and with gates and bars, and there were also a great many unwalled villages. We completely destroyed[a] them, as we had done with Sihon king of Heshbon, destroying[b](I) every city—men, women and children. But all the livestock(J) and the plunder from their cities we carried off for ourselves.

So at that time we took from these two kings of the Amorites(K) the territory east of the Jordan, from the Arnon Gorge as far as Mount Hermon.(L) (Hermon is called Sirion(M) by the Sidonians; the Amorites call it Senir.)(N) 10 We took all the towns on the plateau, and all Gilead, and all Bashan as far as Salekah(O) and Edrei, towns of Og’s kingdom in Bashan. 11 (Og king of Bashan was the last of the Rephaites.(P) His bed was decorated with iron and was more than nine cubits long and four cubits wide.[c] It is still in Rabbah(Q) of the Ammonites.)
