Joshua 12:3-5
Evangelical Heritage Version

3 This includes half of Gilead. He also ruled over the eastern part of the Arabah[a] from the Sea of Kinneret[b] south as far as the Sea of the Arabah, which is the Salt Sea,[c] and east in the direction of Beth Jeshimoth and south as far as the slopes of Pisgah.

4 The second area was the territory of Og king of Bashan, who was from a remnant of the Rephaim[d] and who lived in Ashtaroth and in Edrei. 5 He was ruler in Mount Hermon, in Salekah, and in all Bashan up to the border of the Geshurites and the Ma’akathites,[e] and in half of Gilead as far south as the border of Sihon king of Heshbon.

  4. Joshua 12:4 Rephaim is the name of a group of people known for their great height. Og, as well as the strong warriors who fought David’s elite warriors (2 Samuel 21:16-20), were Rephaim. Goliath likely was also one of them. Their name seems to have come from a forefather named Rapha (2 Samuel 21:16). They seem to have been the earliest inhabitants of the land. By the time of the judges only a remnant of them was left. They were also known as Emim and Zamzummim.
  5. Joshua 12:5 The stop mark ′ indicates that the double a should be pronounced as two syllables, Ma-ak.
