Scripture Post #2,197: *THE BATTLE AT EDREI*

 

Numbers 21:

33 And they turned and went up by the way of Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan went out against them, he, and all his people, to the battle at Edrei. 

34 And the LORD said unto Moses, Fear him not: for I have delivered him into thy hand, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do to him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon. 

35 So they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, until there was none left him alive: and they possessed his land.

The LORD told Moses not to fear King Og, who’d assembled all his people to battle against Israel. GOD told His people they’d win this battle just like they did their last one! And the Israelites possessed the land after winning the battle.
