Do not fear him “Do not fear him”. • Og of Bashan is formidable (Deuteronomy 3:11), yet God’s command removes fear, just as He did for Abraham (Genesis 15:1) and later for Joshua (Joshua 1:9). • Courage here rests not in Israel’s might but in the word of the Lord (Psalm 27:1). for I have delivered him into your hand “for I have delivered him into your hand”. • The victory is stated as an accomplished fact—God speaks in the past tense about a future event (Joshua 6:2; Judges 7:14). • Israel’s role is to walk in what God has already secured (1 Samuel 17:46). along with all his people and his land “along with all his people and his land”. • Total conquest is promised, reflecting God’s covenant commitment to give Israel the territory beyond the Jordan (Deuteronomy 2:24; 3:3). • Possession of the land flows from divine gift, not human entitlement (Psalm 44:3). Do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon “Do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon”. • Past victories become the pattern for present obedience (Numbers 21:24; Deuteronomy 29:7). • God’s track record encourages confidence: He who defeated Sihon will likewise bring down Og (Psalm 135:10-12). summary God’s word precedes every battle, removes fear, declares victory, promises full possession, and reminds us of past deliverance. Trusting the Lord’s unchanging voice empowers His people to step forward in faith and obedience, certain that what He has spoken, He will surely do. Verse 34. - Fear him not.
