Deuteronomy 3:10-12
New Catholic Bible
10 This included all of the cities of the plain and all of Gilead and all of Bashan, up to Salecah and Edrei, cities in the kingdom of Og of Bashan. 11 (Og was the last of the remnant of the Rephaim. His bed was made of iron, and it was nine cubits long and four cubits wide. It is now in Rabbah of the Ammonites.)[a]
12 Distribution of Conquered Lands. From the land that we occupied at this time, I gave the Reubenites and the Gadites the land beginning at Aroer on the Arnon River and half of the hill country of Gilead as well as its cities.

- Deuteronomy 3:11 The bed seems more like a tomb. The description may refer to a geological or archaeological discovery: perhaps one of the dolmens to be seen in the region of Amman. This verse, like verse 9 above, verses 13b-14a below, and, earlier, 2:20-23, is a kind of explanatory note inserted in the discourse, of which it is not a part.
Deuteronomy 3:10-12
New International Version
10 We took all the towns on the plateau, and all Gilead, and all Bashan as far as Salekah(A) and Edrei, towns of Og’s kingdom in Bashan. 11 (Og king of Bashan was the last of the Rephaites.(B) His bed was decorated with iron and was more than nine cubits long and four cubits wide.[a] It is still in Rabbah(C) of the Ammonites.)
Division of the Land
12 Of the land that we took over at that time, I gave the Reubenites and the Gadites the territory north of Aroer(D) by the Arnon Gorge, including half the hill country of Gilead, together with its towns.
