what I remember:
After God defeated Sihon, king of the Amorites (via Israel) Bashan king of Og came up, and God said to conquer him too. They did the same to him as to the Amorites. Og, the king of Bashan had a bed that was over 13 feet tall and over 6.5 feet wide. That sounds like an intimidating king! Moses gave the land on this side of the Jordan (the land of Og) to Manasseh and the other two tribes who wanted to stay there. Moses begged God to be allowed to cross the Jordan to see the promised land before he died, but God maintained his former statement, and banned Moses from asking again. Moses would see the promised land from the top of a mountain, but would not cross in to it.
key verse:
"Lord God, you have begun to show me, your servant, how great you are. You have great strength. No other god in heaven or earth can do the powerful things you do. There is no other god like you."
about God:
God defeated armies - big and powerful people. God showed Israel his power and greatness - he conquered Egypt, Sihon, Og and promised to do the same to all of those in the land He gave Israel. "Don't be afraid of them. The Lord your God will fight for you."
