11 For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of giants; m behold, his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is it not in Rabbath n of the children of Ammon? nine cubits was the length thereof, and four cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man.

12 And this land, which we possessed at that time, from Aroer, o which is by the river Arnon, and half mount Gilead, and the cities thereof, gave I unto the Reubenites and to the Gadites.

13 And p the rest of Gilead and all Bashan, being the kingdom of Og, gave I unto the half tribe of Manasseh; all the region of Argob, with all Bashan, which was called the land of giants.

14 Jair qthe son of Manasseh took all the country of Argob unto the coasts of Geshuri r and Maachathi; and called them after his own name, Bashan-havoth-jair, unto this day. 15 And I gave Gilead unto Machir. 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 Jabbok, which is s the border of the children of Ammon:

17 The plain also, and Jordan, and the coast, thereof, from Chinnereth t even unto the sea of the plain, even the salt sea, 1 under Ashdothpisgah eastward.

18 And I commanded you at that time, saying, The LORD your God hath given you this land to possess it: ye u shall pass over armed before your brethren the children of Israel, all that are 2 meet for the war.

19 But your wives, and your little ones, and your cattle, (for I know that ye have much cattle,) shall abide in your cities which I have given you;

20 Until the LORD have given rest unto your brethren, as well as unto you, and until they also possess the land which the LORD your God hath given them beyond Jordan: and then v shall ye return every man unto his possession which I have given you.

21 T And w I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, Thine eyes have seen all that the LORD your God hath done unto these two kings so shall the LORD do unto all the kingdoms whither thou passest.

32 For r ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God created man i Ps. 119.2. upon the earth, and ask from thek Ps. 119.5. one side of heaven unto the other,

33 Did ever people hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, s as thou hast heard, and live?

34 Or hath God assayed to go and take him a nation from the midst of another nation, by temptations, t by signs, u and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty v hand, and by a stretched-out w arm, and by great terrors, & according to all that the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?

35 Unto thee it was shewed, that thou mightest know that the LORD he is God; there is none else beside him.

36 Out of heaven y he made thee to hear his voice, that he might instruct thee: and upon earth he shewed thee his great fire; and thou heardest his words out of the midst of the fire.

37 And because he z loved thy fathers, therefore he chose their seed after them, and brought thee out in hus sight with his a mighty power out of Egypt;

38 To drive out nations from before thee greater b and mightier than thou art, to bring thee in, to give thee their land for an inheritance, as it is this day.

39 Know therefore this day, and consider c it in thine heart, that d the LORD he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath there is none else.

40 Thou e shalt keep therefore This statutes, and his commandments, which I command thee this day, that it may go well ƒ with thee, and with thy children after thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days upon the earth, which the LORD thy God giveth thee, for ever.

12 Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee.

13 Six days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work;

14 But the seventh day is the m sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy man-servant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy man-servant n and thy maid-servant may rest as well as

thou.

16 Honourp thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days q may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

17 Thou shalt not r kill.

23 And a it came to pass, when ye heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, (for the mountain did burn with fire,) that ye came near unto me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders;
