Joshua 12:3-5

Contemporary English Version

³Sihon also controlled the eastern side of the Jordan River valley from Lake Galilee^[a] south to Beth-Jeshimoth and the Dead Sea. In addition to these regions, he ruled the town called Slopes of Mount Pisgah^[b] and the land south of there at the foot of the hill.

⁴Next, Moses and the Israelites defeated King Og of Bashan,^[c] who lived in the town of Ashtaroth part of each year and in Edrei the rest of the year. Og was one of the last of the Rephaim.^[d] ⁵His kingdom stretched north to Mount Hermon, east to the town of Salecah, and included the land of Bashan as far west as the borders of the kingdoms of Geshur and Maacah. He also ruled the northern half of Gilead.
