Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 3:12-20

12-20 This country was settled on the Reubenites, Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh: see Deuteronomy 3:32. Moses repeats the condition of the grant to which they agreed. When at rest, we should desire to see our brethren at rest too, and should be ready to do what we can towards it; for we are not born for ourselves, but are members one of another. read more

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

It is given, first to the two and a half tribes in response to their reception of their land, and then to Joshua on behalf of all the people.

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Deuteronomy 3:1-29

CRITICAL NOTES.—Conquest of Og. Israel were able to advance to the Jordan after the defeat of Sihon and the conquest of his land. But Og, the Amonitish King, still kept the northern half of Gilead and all Bashan, a rugged mountainous country, valuable for rich and luxuriant pastures.Deuteronomy 3:1. Came out. Without provocation, disliking the presence of the Israelites, or seeking to revenge the overthrow of his friends and allies, Og rushed to attack.Deuteronomy 3:2. Cf. Numbers 21:31,... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 3:1-29

Chapter 3In chapter three:So we turned, and went by the way of Bashan: unto Og the king of Bashan who came out against us, wit all of his people. And the LORD said unto me, Don't fear him: for I will deliver him, and all of his people, and his land, into your hands; and thou shalt do unto him as you did unto Sihon the king of Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon. So the LORD our God delivered into our hands Og also, the king of Bashan, and all of his people. And we took all of his city, there was... read more
