Deuteronomy 3:3-5
New English Translation
3 So the Lord our God did indeed give over to us King Og of Bashan and his whole army, and we struck them down until not a single survivor was left.[a] 4 We captured all his cities at that time—there was not a town we did not take from them—sixty cities, all the region of Argob,[b] the dominion of Og in Bashan. 5 All of these cities were fortified by high walls, gates, and locking bars;[c] in addition there were a great many open villages.[d]

- Deuteronomy 3:4 sn Argob. This is a subdistrict of Bashan, perhaps north of the Yarmuk River. See Y. Aharoni, Land of the Bible, 314.
- Deuteronomy 3:5 tn Or “high walls and barred gates” (NLT); Heb “high walls, gates, and bars.” Since “bars” could be understood to mean “saloons,” the qualifying adjective “locking” has been supplied in the translation.
- Deuteronomy 3:5 tn The Hebrew term פְּרָזִי (perazi) refers to rural areas, at the most “unwalled villages” (KJV, NASB “unwalled towns”).
