This phrase refers to the conquest of the region under King Og of Bashan. The Israelites, led by Moses, were divinely empowered to capture all sixty cities, demonstrating God's promise to give them victory over their enemies. The number sixty signifies completeness and totality, emphasizing the thoroughness of the conquest. This event is a fulfillment of God's covenant with Abraham, promising his descendants a land of their own (<a href="/genesis/15-18.htm">Genesis 15:18-21</a>).There was not a single city we failed to take— The complete success in capturing every city highlights the divine assistance provided to the Israelites. It underscores the theme of God's faithfulness and power in fulfilling His promises. This phrase also serves as a reminder of the importance of obedience and trust in God's plan, as seen in other biblical victories such as the fall of Jericho (Joshua 6).the entire region of Argob, Argob was a fertile and strategic area in Bashan, known for its fortified cities and strong defenses. The successful capture of Argob signifies the Israelites' ability to overcome formidable obstacles with God's help. The region's mention highlights the significance of the victory, as Argob was a key area in the Transjordan, rich in resources and strategically important for controlling trade routes.the kingdom of Og in Bashan. Og was one of the last remaining Rephaim, a group of giants mentioned in the Old Testament. His defeat symbolizes the overcoming of seemingly insurmountable challenges through divine intervention. Bashan, known for its fertile land and strong cities, represents the abundance and prosperity that God promised to His people. The conquest of Og's kingdom is a testament to God's sovereignty and the fulfillment of His promises to Israel, as well as a foreshadowing of the ultimate victory over evil through Jesus Christ.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a> The leader of the Israelites, who is recounting the victories God gave them over their enemies as they journeyed to the Promised Land. 2. <a href="/topical/o/og,_king_of_bashan.htm">Og, King of Bashan</a> A formidable Amorite king whose kingdom included the region of Argob.

Professor Porter, in the Griant Cities of Bashan, has well described the impression made upon him by verifying this description in detail. "The whole of Bashan," he says, "is not larger than an ordinary English county." That "sixty walled cities, 'besides unwalled towns a great many,' should exist in a small province, at such a remote age, far from the sea, with no rivers and little commerce, appeared to be inexplicable. Inexplicable, mysterious though it appeared, it was true. On the spot, with my own eyes, I had now verified it. A list of more than one hundred ruined cities and villages, situated in these mountains alone, I had in my hands; and on the spot I had tested it, and found it accurate, though not complete." Many of the cities in the mountains are not ruins. Rooms, doors, bars are entire to this day. The region of Argob is distinctly marked out by its natural boundaries, and well described by the same writer.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/deuteronomy/3.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 4. - Threescore cities; probably the same as the Bashan-havoth jair, afterwards mentioned (ver. 14). The region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan. The region of Argob comprised the kingdom of Og, and Bashan was another name for the same country; extending from the Jabbok to Hermon, and embracing both the northern part of Gilead, and what was afterwards in a stricter sense Bashan, viz. the land north of the Wady Zerka (hod. Jebel Ajlan) to Hermon. The name Argob is supposed by some to be given to the district from a town of that name, fifteen Roman miles eastward from Gerasa, a city of Arabia (Eusebius); but more probably it is derived from the character of the district, either as deep-soiled (from רֶגֶב, a clod), or as rugged and uneven (רְגוב, from רָגַב akin to רָגָם, to heap up), just as the neighboring district to the east and northeast received the name Traohonitis (from τραχών, rough, rugged); in the Targum, indeed, Trachona (טרכונא) is the name given here for Argob. This district is now known as the province of El-Lejah (The Retreat). It is described as oval in form, about twenty-two miles long by fourteen wide; a plateau elevated about thirty feet above the surrounding plain. Its features are most remarkable. It is composed of a thick stratum of black basalt, which seems to have been emitted in a liquid state from pores in the earth, and to have flowed out on all sides till the whole surface was covered. It is rent and shattered as if by internal convulsion. The cup-like cavities from which the liquid mass was projected are still seen, and also the wavy surface such as a thick liquid generally assumes which cools as it is flowing. There are deep fissures and yawning gulfs with rugged, broken edges; and there are jagged mounds that seem not to have been sufficiently heated to flow, but which were forced up by some mighty agency, and then rent and shattered to their centers. The rock is filled with air-bubbles, and is almost as hard as iron. (Dr. Porter, in Kitto, 'Biblical Cyclopaedia,' 3:1032; see also the same author's 'Five Years in Damascus,' 2:240, etc.; and 'The Giant Cities of Bashan'; Burckhardt, 'Travels in Syria,' p. 110, etc.; Wetstein, 'Reisebericht fib. Hauran,' p. 82, etc.; a paper by Mr. Cyrill Graham in the Cambridge Essays for 1858; and Smith's 'Dictionary,' art. 'Trachonitis.') The entire trans-Jordanic region was thus captured by the Israelites. <a href="/commentaries/deuteronomy/3-4.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>At that הַהִ֔וא (ha·hi·w) Article | Pronoun - third person feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1931.htm">Strong's 1931: </a> He, self, the same, this, that, as, are time בָּעֵ֣ת (bā·‘êṯ) Preposition-b, Article | Noun - common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6256.htm">Strong's 6256: </a> Time, now, when we captured וַנִּלְכֹּ֤ד (wan·nil·kōḏ) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - first person common plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3920.htm">Strong's 3920: </a> To catch, to capture, occupy, to choose, to cohere all כָּל־ (kāl-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3605.htm">Strong's 3605: </a> The whole, all, any, every sixty שִׁשִּׁ֥ים (šiš·šîm) Number - common plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8346.htm">Strong's 8346: </a> Sixty of his cities. עָרָיו֙ (‘ā·rāw) Noun - feminine plural construct | third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5892.htm">Strong's 5892: </a> Excitement There was not לֹ֤א (lō) Adverb - Negative particle <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3808.htm">Strong's 3808: </a> Not, no a single city קִרְיָ֔ה (qir·yāh) Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7151.htm">Strong's 7151: </a> A town, city we failed to לֹא־ (lō-) Adverb - Negative particle <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3808.htm">Strong's 3808: </a> Not, no take— לָקַ֖חְנוּ (lā·qaḥ·nū) Verb - Qal - Perfect - first person common plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3947.htm">Strong's 3947: </a> To take the entire כָּל־ (kāl-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3605.htm">Strong's 3605: </a> The whole, all, any, every region חֶ֣בֶל (ḥe·ḇel) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2256.htm">Strong's 2256: </a> A rope, a measuring line, a district, inheritance, a noose, a company, a throe, ruin of Argob, אַרְגֹּ֔ב (’ar·gōḇ) Noun - proper - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_709.htm">Strong's 709: </a> Argob the kingdom מַמְלֶ֥כֶת (mam·le·ḵeṯ) Noun - feminine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4467.htm">Strong's 4467: </a> Kingdom, sovereignty, dominion, reign of Og ע֖וֹג (‘ō·wḡ) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5747.htm">Strong's 5747: </a> Og -- king of Bashan in Bashan. בַּבָּשָֽׁן׃ (bab·bā·šān) Preposition-b, Article | Noun - proper - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1316.htm">Strong's 1316: </a> Bashan -- 'smooth', a region East of the Jordan <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/deuteronomy/3-4.htm">Deuteronomy 3:4 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/deuteronomy/3-4.htm">Deuteronomy 3:4 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/deuteronomy/3-4.htm">Deuteronomy 3:4 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/deuteronomy/3-4.htm">Deuteronomy 3:4 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/deuteronomy/3-4.htm">Deuteronomy 3:4 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/deuteronomy/3-4.htm">Deuteronomy 3:4 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/deuteronomy/3-4.htm">Deuteronomy 3:4 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/deuteronomy/3-4.htm">Deuteronomy 3:4 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/deuteronomy/3-4.htm">Deuteronomy 3:4 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/deuteronomy/3-4.htm">Deuteronomy 3:4 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/deuteronomy/3-4.htm">OT Law: Deuteronomy 3:4 We took all his cities at that (Deut.
