Deuteronomy 3:1Contemporary English Version (Anglicised) 2012When we turned on to the road that leads to Bashan, King Og of Bashan led out his whole army to fight us at Edrei. See the chapter |
Their land started at Mahanaim and took in the region that King Og of Bashan had ruled, including Ashtaroth and Edrei, the two towns where he had lived. The villages where the Jair clan settled were part of Manasseh's land, and so was the northern half of the region of Gilead. The clans of this half of Manasseh had sixty towns in all. The Manasseh tribe is sometimes called the Machir tribe, after Manasseh's son Machir.
