Defeat of King Og of Bashan
This question can be difficult to answer with certainty, as there are many contenders for the title of “OG.” However, some of the more likely candidates are: Og, the king of Bashan, who was defeated by Moses (Numbers 21:33-35); or Og, one of the Anakites, who was also defeated by Moses (Deuteronomy 3:11). Another possibility is that “OG” was simply a generic name for any ancient ruler or warrior.There is no one person in the Bible who is specifically known as “Og.” However, there are a few people who could possibly be considered as candidates for the title. These include: -Og, the king of Bashan who was defeated by Moses and the Israelites (Numbers 21:33-35)-Og, the man from the tribe of Reuben who helped capture the city of Adam during the conquest of Canaan (Joshua 8:1-28)-A man named Og, who was one of the giant sons of Anak and a ruler in the land of Canaan (Deuteronomy 3:1-13) Where is King Og’s bed today? Now only King Og of Bashan was left of the remnant of the Rephaim. In fact, his bed, an iron bed, can still be seen in Rabbah of the Ammonites. By the common cubit, it is nine cubits long and four cubits wide.The kingdom of Og was one of the ancient kingdoms of the Amorites. It was located in the region of Bashan and the Hermon region, and extended to the west to the Jordan river. Three or four of the cities of his kingdom are mentioned in the Bible, including Ashtaroth, which was apparently his capital city. The kingdom of Og was conquered by the Israelites under Joshua, and the land was divided among the tribes of Israel. What is the meaning of the Hebrew word Og Og was the king of Bashan, who was defeated by Moses in a pitched battle at Edrei. His kingdom was given to the tribes of Reuben and Gad and half the tribe of Manasseh.In the book of 1 Enoch, the giants are described as being extremely tall, with a height of 450 feet (140 m).

2025-04-15Og, king of Bashan3 Then we turned and we went along the road towards Bashan. Og, king of Bashan, marched out with his whole army to attack us at Edrei. 2 But the Lord said to me, ‘Do not be afraid of him. I have given him to you with his whole army and his land. You must do the same thing to Og as you did to Sihon, king of the Amorites, who ruled in Heshbon.’ 3 So the Lord our God put Og, king of Bashan, under our power, as well as his whole army. We killed them all so that we left no one alive. 4 Then we took all of his cities. We took power over all the cities in the region of Argob where King Og of Bashan ruled. There were 60 cities. 5 All the cities had high walls around them, with gates that the people locked. There were also very many villages which did not have walls around them. 6 We destroyed them completely as a gift to the Lord. We had done the same thing to the cities of Sihon, king of Heshbon. We destroyed every city and we killed all the men, women and children. 7 But we kept all the animals and the valuable things from the cities for ourselves. 8 So, at that time, we took power over all the land that the two Amorite kings, Og and Bashan, had ruled. Their land was east of the Jordan River, from the Arnon valley to Mount Hermon. 9 (The people from Sidon call Mount Hermon ‘Sirion’. The Amorites call it ‘Senir’.) 10 We took all their cities in the high, flat land and cities in the whole of Gilead and in Bashan. We went as far as Salecah and Edrei, cities that belonged to the kingdom of Og in Bashan. 11 Og, king of Bashan, was the only descendant of the Rephaites who had still been alive. He had an iron bed that is still in the Ammonites' town, Rabbah. It was 4 metres long and 2 metres wide. Moses gives land to three tribes12 When we had taken power over all that land, I gave some of it to the tribes of Reuben and Gad. I gave them the land north of Aroer near the Arnon valley. I also gave them half of the hill country of Gilead and the cities there. 13 I gave the other part of Gilead to one half of the tribe of Manasseh. I also gave Og's kingdom, Bashan, to them.a]">[a] People called all the region of Argob in Bashan the land of the Rephaites. 14 Jair belonged to the tribe of Manasseh. He

God assures Moshe that Og is not as he seems: Despite the commitment he undertook, despite his circumcision, Og's control over his sexual desires was limited, and therefore did not afford him absolute protection.Of all the forefathers, the individual most strongly associated with the idea of controlling passion is Yosef. And so, when the tribes of Reuven and Gad ask to inherit and settle in Transjordan, outside the borders of the Promised Land, Moshe sends part of the tribe of Menashe to join them on the lands captured from Sichon and Og:And Moshe gave to them, to the sons of Gad, and to the sons of Reuven, and to half the tribe of Meanashse the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land, with its cities in the borders, even the cities of the country around. (Bamidbar 32:33)The Tribe of Menashe, descendants of Yosef, inherit the lands previously held by Og:(11)And Moshe gave inheritance to half the tribe of Menasheh; and this was the possession of half the tribe of Menasheh by their families. And their border was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and all of Havot Yair, which are in Bashan, sixty cities. And half the Gilead, and Ashtarot, and Edre'i, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, belonged to the sons of Machir the son of Manasheh, to the one half of

And God said to Moshe, 'Fear him not; for I have delivered him into your hand, and all his people, and his land; and you shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon.' So they struck him, and his sons, and all his people, until none was left alive; and they possessed his land. (Bamidbar 21:33-35)In preparation for the battle against Og, Moshe is told not to be afraid. What is it about this particular battle, more than any other struggle or task, that fills Moshe with fear? The re-telling of these events in the Book of Devarim is no more enlightening than the first account in BamidbarThen we turned, and went up through the Bashan; and Og the king of the Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Edre'i. And God said to me, Fear him not; for I will deliver him, and all his people, and his land, into your hand; and you shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon.' So the Almighty our God delivered into our hands Og also, the king of Bashan, and all his people; and we struck him until none was left remaining. (Devarim 3:1-3)Here, too, the text recounts that Moshe was gripped with fear; the description ends with what sounds like a song:(1)For only Og king of Bashan remained of
