the whole kingdom of Og in Bashan
The kingdom of Og in Bashan was a significant region east of the Jordan River. Bashan was known for its fertile land and strong cities. Og, the king of Bashan, was one of the last of the Rephaim, a group of ancient giants. This area was strategically important for Israel as it provided a buffer zone against eastern threats and was part of the land promised to the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.

who had reigned in Ashtaroth and Edrei
Ashtaroth and Edrei were major cities in Og's kingdom. Ashtaroth was likely a center of worship for the goddess Astarte, indicating the presence of Canaanite religious practices. Edrei was a fortified city, highlighting the military strength of Og's kingdom. These cities' mention underscores the formidable nature of the enemy Israel faced and the significance of their victory.

and had remained as a remnant of the Rephaim
The Rephaim were a group of ancient giants mentioned in the Bible, often associated with fearsome strength and size. Og's survival as a remnant of the Rephaim emphasizes the miraculous nature of Israel's victory, as they overcame a seemingly insurmountable foe. This victory demonstrated God's power and faithfulness in fulfilling His promises to Israel.

Moses had struck them down and dispossessed them
Moses' defeat of Og and the dispossession of his kingdom were pivotal moments in Israel's journey to the Promised Land. This victory was a testament to God's guidance and support, as Moses led the Israelites against powerful adversaries. It also served as a precursor to the conquests under Joshua, reinforcing the theme of divine assistance in Israel's military campaigns. Moses' actions here are a fulfillment of God's promise to give the land to Israel, showcasing the continuity of God's plan from Moses to Joshua.
