Joshua 12
The Conquered Kings East of the Jordan
121The following are the kings of the land whom the people of Israel struck down and then took possession of their land, which was east of the Jordan toward the rising of the sun, from the Arnon Canyon to Mount Hermon, including all of the Arabah east of the Jordan.
2The first was Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon. He ruled over the territory that extends from Aroer, which is on the edge of the Arnon Canyon, and from the middle of the canyon,[] all the way north to the Jabbok Canyon, which is the border of the Ammonites. 3This includes half of Gilead. He also ruled over the eastern part of the Arabah[] from the Sea of Kinneret[] south as far as the Sea of the Arabah, which is the Salt Sea,[] and east in the direction of Beth Jeshimoth and south as far as the slopes of Pisgah.
4The second area was the territory of Og king of Bashan, who was from a remnant of the Rephaim[] and who lived in Ashtaroth and in Edrei. 5He was ruler in Mount Hermon, in Salekah, and in all Bashan up to the border of the Geshurites and the Ma'akathites,[] and half of Gilead as far south as the border of Sihon king of Heshbon.
6Moses, the servant of the Lord, and the people of Israel struck them down. Moses, the servant of the Lord, gave this land east of the Jordan as a possession to the tribe of Reuben, to the tribe of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh.

Footnotes
- 12:2 The parallel passage in Joshua 13:9 reads from the city that is in the middle of the canyon.
- 12:3 That is, the deep valley which contains the Jordan River
- 12:3 That is, the Sea of Galilee
- 12:3 That is, the Dead Sea
- 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.
- 12:5 The stop mark ' indicates that the double a should be pronounced as two syllables, Ma-ak.
