Final Preparations

Israel sends men to Sihon, king of the Amorites, with a simple ask. "Let us pass through. We will stay on the road." Sihon says no. He pulls his whole army together and marches out to meet Israel, ready for war.

The two armies crash together at Jahaz. The fighting is wild and loud! But Israel wins. Sihon falls. His soldiers run. Israel takes his towns, his land, his fields. They move into the houses and settle down in all the places they win.

Og, king of Bashan, marches out with his army. He is huge. But Yahweh tells Moses, "Do not be afraid of him. I have given him to you." Israel strikes Og down — him and every last soldier. No one gets away. Israel takes his land and all sixty of his walled cities!
