1"And we turned and we went up to the road of Mathnin and Og the King of Mathnin went out to meet us, he and all his people, to battle in Erday.
2And LORD JEHOVAH said to me: 'Do not be afraid of him, because I have handed him over and all his people and his land into your hands, and do to him as you have done to Sihon the King of the Amorites who was dwelling in Kheshbon'.
3And LORD JEHOVAH our God delivered into our hands also Og the King of Mathnin and all his people and we sworded him and we have not left a survivor to him.
4And we conquered all his cities at that time and we have not left a city that we did not take from them: sixty cities, every portion of Argub among the Kingdom of Og that is in Mathnin.
5All these cities whose walls are fortified and their gates and their bars raised, apart from very many towns of open spaces.
6And we destroyed them as we did to Sihon the King of Kheshbon, for we put all his cities to the sword, to destroy even the women and the little ones.
7And every beast and the spoils of the cities we plundered for ourselves. 8And we took the land at that time from the hand of both the Kings of the Amorites at the crossing of Jordan, from the Torrent of Arnon and unto the mountain of Hermon; 9The Tsidonians called Khermon, Seryuun, and the Amorites call it Sanir; 10And all the cities of the plain, and all Gelad, and all Mathnin unto Salka, and to Ardi, all the cities of the Kingdom of Og that is in Mathnin. 11For Og, the King of Mathnin, alone, was left of the rest of the giants; his bed is a bed of iron, and behold, it is in Rabath of the children of Amon; nine forearms is its length and four forearms its width, in the forearm of the giants. 12And we inherited this land at that time from Aduir by the lip of the Torrent of Arnon, and half of the Mountain of Gelad and its cities I have given to Rubil and to Gad. 13And the rest of Gelad and all Mathnin among the Kingdom of Og I have given to half of the tribe of Menasheh; all the portion of Argub and all Mathnin, this is called the Land of Giants. 14Yair son of Manasheh took for himself all the portion of Argub unto the borders of Geshur and of Makath and he has called them by the name of Mathnin and Kaphruneyd’Yair –“Villages of Yair” until today. 15And to Makir I have given Gelad. 16And to Rubil and to Gad I have given from Gelad and unto the Torrent of Arnon and the inside of the valley and its border and unto Yabaq of the valley of the borders of the children of Amon; 17And the desert and the Jordan and the border from Kenarath and unto the Sea of Araba, the Sea of Salt, that is under Ashdod and Pesga in Ramtha from the East. 18And I commanded you at that time and I said to you: 'LORD JEHOVAH your God gave to you this land to possess it when you pass over armed before your brethren, the children of Israel, all of you mighty men of power; 19Only leave your wives and your little ones and your beasts, for I know that you have much livestock; they will dwell in your villages that I have given you. 20Until LORD JEHOVAH gives rest to your brethren like you, and those possess also the land that LORD JEHOVAH your God gives to you at the crossing of Jordan, and this you shall return, each man, to his inheritance that I have given to you'. 21And I commanded Yeshua at that time and I said: 'Your eyes see all that LORD JEHOVAH your God did to these two Kings; in this way LORD JEHOVAH shall do to all these kingdoms through which you pass. 22You shall not be afraid of them, because LORD JEHOVAH your God is The One fighting for your persons'. 23And I begged before LORD JEHOVAH at that time and I said: 24Please, LORD JEHOVAH God! You have begun to show your Servant your greatness and your mighty hand and your high arm! Who is God in Heaven or in the Earth to do according to your works and according to your wonders? 25I shall go over now; I shall see the good land that is in the plain of Jordan, this good mountain, and Lebanon'. 26And LORD JEHOVAH was angry against me because of you and he did not listen to me and LORD JEHOVAH said to me: 'It is enough for you; do not continue again to speak of this matter before me. 27Come up to the top of Ramtha and lift up your eyes to the East and to the West and to the North and to the South and see it with your eyes, and you shall not cross this Jordan. 28And command Yeshua and empower him and strengthen him, because he shall cross before this people and he shall cause them to inherit the land that you will see'. 29And we dwelt in the valley opposite Bayth Peor.” The Peshitta Holy Bible Translated Translated by Glenn David Bauscher Glenn David Bauscher Lulu Publishing Copyright © 2018 Lulu Publishing 3rd edition Copyright © 2019 |
