The Lord said unto Moses— We refer the reader to the third chapter of Deuteronomy, where this event is recorded more at large.
REFLECTIONS.—Instead of being warned by the fate of his neighbours, Og, king of Bashan, hastens to the attack, and meets the like destruction. God encourages his people; they fight and conquer, and possess the land. No weapon formed against them can prosper. The powers of corruption, though strong as this gigantic Amorite, must fall before the believer who is clad in the panoply of God. These successes were a happy earnest of future victory; and from every struggle against sin, our faith should grow more confirmed. He who is the strength of his faithful people now, will be their salvation for ever.
