James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 3:1-29

REVIEW OF ISRAEL ’S HISTORY A book written by Canon Bernard entitled The Progress of Doctrine in the New Testament, shows not only that the contents of its books are inspired, but their arrangement and order as well. The same might be said of the Old Testament, especially of the Pentateuch. To illustrate, the purpose of the Bible is to give the history of redemption through a special seed. In Genesis we have the election of that seed (Abraham), in Exodus their redemption, in Leviticus their... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Deuteronomy 3:1-29

Review and Prospect Deuteronomy 3:0 Is it not remarkable that good causes and good men should meet with constant opposition? We are now perusing the history of a journey which was undertaken by divine direction, and again and again almost on every page we come upon the fact that the journey was from end to end bitterly opposed. Probably, if the people had started on a pilgrimage at their own suggestion, they could hardly have encountered severer hostility. We may even go further and say Had... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Deuteronomy 3:1

CONTENTS The continuation of Moses' discourse is carried through this chapter. Here are described the victory Israel obtained over Og king of Bashan, with the division of his dominions, to the two tribes of Reuben and Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh: the order given to Joshua, as the intended successor of Moses, to carry on the conquest of Canaan: Moses' earnest request at that time to the LORD, that he might go over Jordan with the people, and the LORD'S refusal. Deuteronomy 3:1 It is said... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Deuteronomy 3:1-11

The Overthrow of King Og of Bashan v. 1. Then we turned and went up the way to Bashan; and Og, the king of Bashan, came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei, Numbers 21:33-Habakkuk :. v. 2. And the Lord said unto me, Fear him not; for I will deliver him and all his people and his land in to thy hand; and thou shalt do unto him as thou didst unto Sihon, king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon. The children of Israel, then, were sure of the victory before ever the... read more

(Deuteronomy 1:6-8).6The Lord our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount: 7Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and unto all [his neighbors—see marg.] the places nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea-side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Deuteronomy 3:1-22

the Inheritance of Reuben, Gad and Manasseh Deuteronomy 3:1-22 Sihon’s defeat, described in the previous chapter, compelled his ally Og to take the field and oppose the further advance of Israel. “ He came out ” against them. Perhaps also Joshua 24:12 affords a clue. Swarms of hornets harassed him and his people, and drove them out of their stone houses and fortifications; they preferred meeting the chosen race in the open to the scourge of these formidable creatures. When God says, “Fear... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Deuteronomy 3:1-29

Turning Backward Deuteronomy 2:1-37 and Deuteronomy 3:1-29 INTRODUCTORY WORDS Last week we closed with God's refusal to permit the Children of Israel to go into the land of Canaan. They had come up to Kadesh-barnea; they had sent spies into the land, but they had rebelled against the Lord and had not believed Him. For this cause, and because of their murmurings, the Lord said, "Turn you, and take your journey into the wilderness." Last week we saw that God had told them of how they started... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 3:1-7

Chapter 3 The Defeat of Og and the Division of Transjordan. The first three verses of this chapter are an almost exact reproduction of Numbers 21:33-35) with slight changes to fit it into speech (altering ‘they’ to ‘we’). They describe the defeat of Og, king of Bashan. This is then followed by a more full description of the defeat, and the dividing up of the land between Reuben, Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh. After this the call goes out to these tribes to fulfil their covenant to provide... read more
