Deuteronomy 3 reports the conquest of the Israelites over King Ogue and his armies, and the division of land between the tribes of Rúben, Gad and half of the tribe of Manasseh. The chosen verses are:
Joshua 12:4-5: "And they took the land of ogue, king of Bashan, who was the last of the refains, whose bed was iron, and was in rabba of the sons of Ammon, and was nine cubits in length and Four wide, according to a man's cubit. " This verse mentions King Ogue, the city of Rabá, and the description of the Ogue's bed, which is mentioned in Deuteronomy 3:11.
Deuteronomy 2:33: "And we began to take them from Aroer, which is by the Ribeiro de Arnom, and from the city that is by the Ribeiro, to Gilead, and no city was too high for us; all the Lord our God not delivered them. " This verse refers to the conquest of cities and lands by the tribes of Israel, a central theme in Deuteronomy 3.
Numbers 32:33: "Thus Moses gave the sons of Gade, and the sons of Ruben, and at the half tribe of Manasseh, son of Joseph, the kingdom of Siom, king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of ogue, king of Bashan, the earth with its cities, in its limits around. " This verse describes the division of lands conquered between the tribes of Ruben, Gad and half of the tribe of Manasseh, which is an important theme in Deuteronomy 3.
Deuteronomy 3:18: "And I have given you order at that time, saying, The Lord your God has given you this earth by inheritance; armed, shall you pass before your brothers, the children of Israel, all brave men." This verse talks about the inheritance of the earth that God has given to the tribes of Israel, and the responsibility to protect and defend this inheritance.
Joshua 13:14: "But to the children of Levi gave no inheritance; the sacrifices of the Lord God of Israel are his inheritance, as He had told them." This verse mentions the tribe of Levi, who did not receive land as an inheritance, but is instead assigned to be responsible for religious services and sacrifices. This theme is important in Deuteronomy 3, which talks about the division of lands conquered between the tribes of Israel.
