Context
The Defeat of King Og
1Then we turned and went up the road to Bashan, and Og king of Bashan and his whole army came out to meet us in battle at Edrei. 2But the LORD said to me, “Do not fear him, for I have delivered him into your hand, along with all his people and his land. Do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon.” 3So the LORD our God also delivered Og king of Bashan and his whole army into our hands. We struck them down until no survivor was left.…

Fear

But the LORD said to me
This phrase emphasizes the direct communication between God and Moses, highlighting the personal relationship and divine guidance that Moses received. The Hebrew word for "LORD" is "Yahweh," the covenant name of God, which signifies His eternal presence and faithfulness. This divine assurance is a reminder of God's sovereignty and His active role in the lives of His people.

Do not fear him
The command "Do not fear" is a recurring theme in Scripture, often given when God is about to perform a mighty act on behalf of His people. The Hebrew word for "fear" is "yare," which can mean to be afraid or to stand in awe. Here, it is a reassurance that God is in control, and there is no need to be afraid of earthly powers when God is on their side.

for I have delivered him into your hand
This phrase signifies God's promise of victory. The Hebrew verb "nathan," translated as "delivered," conveys the idea of giving or granting. It underscores the certainty of God's promise and His power to fulfill it. The victory is assured not by human strength but by divine intervention.

along with all his people and his land
This indicates the totality of the victory that God promises. The phrase encompasses not just the defeat of the king but also the subjugation of his people and the acquisition of his territory. It reflects the comprehensive nature of God's deliverance and His provision for His people.

Do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites
This reference to Sihon serves as a reminder of past victories that God granted to Israel. The historical context is crucial here; Sihon was a formidable opponent, yet God delivered him into Israel's hands. This past success is meant to bolster the faith of the Israelites, reminding them of God's consistent faithfulness and power.

who lived in Heshbon
Heshbon was the capital city of Sihon, king of the Amorites. Mentioning Heshbon provides a geographical and historical anchor to the narrative, reminding the Israelites of the tangible reality of God's past deliverance. It serves as a testament to God's ability to overcome obstacles and fulfill His promises in specific, real-world contexts.

(2) And the Lord said unto me. . . .--This verse repeats Numbers 21:34.

For I will deliver him should be rather read thus, for into thy hand have I delivered him.

Verse 2. - (Cf. Numbers 21:31, etc.)
