The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 3:1-20

Self-propagating conquest. There is solid truth in the French proverb: "It is the first step that costs." An untried course makes large demands on a man's thought, self-watchfullness, and energy; but when habit is acquired, the machinery of the soul works with smooth facility. Enterprises which are most arduous at the first, become by repetition as simple as a natural instinct. I. CONQUEST INDUCES NEW ENERGY . The joy of conquest is a spur to fresh endeavor. The appetite for... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 3:8

Hermon ( חֶרְמוֹן ), probably from חָרַם , to be high, "the lofty peak," conspicuous on all sides. By some the name is supposed to be connected with חֶרֶם , a devoted thing, because this mountain marked the limit of the country devoted or placed under a ban; and it is certainly remarkable that, at the extreme north-east and the extreme southwest of the laud conquered by the Israelites, names derived from Herem , viz. Hermon and Hormah ( Deuteronomy 1:44 ), should be... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 3:10

The different portions of the conquered territory are here mentioned. 1. The plain ( הַמִּישׁוֹר , the level country); the table-land south of Mount Gilead, as far as the Arnon. 2. The whole of Gilead ; the hilly country north of the Jabbok, between Heshbon and Bashan, between the northern and southern table-land. 3. All Bashan , as far eastward as Salchah, the modern Szal-khat or Szarkhad, about seven hours to the east of Busra, and northwards to Edrei, hod . Edra,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 3:11

Bashan was of old possessed by a giant race, the Rephaim ( Genesis 14:5 ); but of these Og, King of Bashan, was, at the time of the Israelitish invasion, the sole remnant. His vast size is indicated by the size of his bedstead, which was preserved in Rabbath-Ammon, perhaps as a trophy of some victory obtained by the Ammonites over their gigantic foe. This measured nine cubits in length, and four in breadth, "after the cubit of a man," i . e . according to the cubit in common use.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 3:12-17

Distribution of the conquered land . The countries thus conquered by the Israelites were assigned by Moses to the tribes of Reuben and Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh. The southern portion, from Aroer, in the valley of the Amen, to the Jabbok, with its towns (see Joshua 12:15-20 , Joshua 12:24 -28), was assigned to the Reubenites and the Gadites; and the northern portion, from the Jabbok, comprehending, with Gilead, the whole of Bashan, or Argob, to the half tribe of Manasseh. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 3:12-20

Distribution of territory. I. CONQUERED TERRITORY IS NOT TO BE LEFT UNOCCUPIED . This is a sound principle. Has a vice been conquered?—replace it by a contrary virtue. Has a soul been converted?—set it to Christian work. Has a new district or a portion of heathenism been won for Christ?—plant it with Christian agencies, industries, and institutions. Replace bad books by good ones; sinful amusements by such as are healthful; pernicious customs by pure forms of social life.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 3:13

The last part of this verse is differently construed and rendered by different translators. By some the clause all the region of Argob is connected with what precedes, while others regard this clause as in apposition with what follows. Targum: "All the region of Trachona, and all that province was called the land of giants;" LXX . "And all the region of Argob, all that Bashan: the land of the Rephaim it was reckoned:" Vulgate: "The whole region of Argob, and all Bashan is called the land... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 3:14

Jair , a descendant of Manasseh by the mother's side (his father was of the tribe of Judah, 1 Chronicles 2:22 ), obtained the Argob region unto —i . e ; inclusive of (see Joshua 13:13 )— the territory of the Geshuri and Maachathi. These were small Syrian tribes located to the east of Hermon. As Geshur signifies a bridge, it has been conjectured that the Geshurites were located near some well-known bridge across the Jordan, of which, perhaps, they were the keepers, and from this... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 3:16-17

The possession of the tribes of Reuben and Gad is here more exactly defined. Its southern boundary was the middle of the valley (the wady) of the Arnon; half the valley, and the border , i . e . the middle of the ravine (or wady) and its edge; a more precise definition of the river Arnon ; the brook which flowed through the middle of the ravine was to be their boundary line to the south. On the northeast the Upper Jabbok ( Nahr Amman ) was to be their boundary; this separated... read more
