In the context of Deuteronomy, Moses often recounts God's commands to the Israelites, reinforcing his role as a prophet and leader. This communication underscores the personal relationship between God and Moses, a theme prevalent throughout the Pentateuch.Do not fear him God's command to not fear Og, king of Bashan, reassures the Israelites of divine protection and victory. Fear is a common human response to formidable enemies, but God consistently instructs His people to trust in His power rather than their own strength. This echoes similar commands given to Joshua (<a href="/joshua/1-9.htm">Joshua 1:9</a>) and reflects the broader biblical theme of faith over fear.for I have delivered him into your hand This phrase signifies God's sovereignty and control over the outcome of battles. The use of the past tense "have delivered" indicates the certainty of victory, even before the battle begins. This assurance is a recurring motif in the conquest narratives, where God promises victory to His people as long as they remain faithful.along with all his people and his land The inclusion of Og's people and land highlights the comprehensive nature of God's promise. It is not just the king who will be defeated, but his entire domain. This reflects the ancient Near Eastern practice of total conquest and the transfer of land, which was a sign of divine favor and fulfillment of the promise to Abraham regarding the land (<a href="/genesis/15-18.htm">Genesis 15:18-21</a>).Do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites This reference to Sihon serves as a reminder of past victories granted by God, reinforcing the Israelites' confidence. The defeat of Sihon is recounted in <a href="/numbers/21-21.htm">Numbers 21:21-31</a>, where God delivered the Amorite king into Israel's hands. This historical precedent serves as a tangible example of God's faithfulness and power.who lived in Heshbon Heshbon was the capital city of Sihon, king of the Amorites. Its mention here situates the narrative in a specific geographical and historical context. Archaeological evidence suggests Heshbon was a significant city during this period, and its conquest would have been a notable achievement for the Israelites.
