1 Τοτε στρεψαντες ανεβημεν την οδον την εις Βασαν· και εξηλθεν Ωγ ο βασιλευς της Βασαν εις συναντησιν ημων, αυτος και πας ο λαος αυτου, δια μαχην εις Εδρει.

2 Και ειπε Κυριος προς εμε, Μη φοβηθης αυτον· διοτι εις την χειρα σου παρεδωκα αυτον και παντα τον λαον αυτου και την γην αυτου· και θελεις καμει εις αυτον, ως εκαμες εις τον Σηων βασιλεα των Αμορραιων, οστις κατωκει εν Εσεβων.

3 Και παρεδωκε Κυριος ο Θεος ημων εις την χειρα ημων και τον Ωγ, βασιλεα της Βασαν, και παντα τον λαον αυτου· και επαταξαμεν αυτον, εωσου δεν αφηκαμεν εις αυτον υπολοιπον.

4 Και εκυριευσαμεν πασας τας πολεις αυτου κατ' εκεινον τον καιρον· δεν εσταθη πολις, την οποιαν δεν ελαβομεν απ' αυτων· εξηκοντα πολεις, πασαν την περιχωρον της Αργοβ, το βασιλειον του Ωγ εν Βασαν.

5 Αι πολεις αυται ησαν πασαι ωχυρωμεναι με τειχη υψηλα, με πυλας και μοχλους· εκτος μεγαλου πληθους ατειχιστων πολεων.

6 Και εξωλοθρευσαμεν αυτας, καθως εκαμομεν εις τον Σηων βασιλεα της Εσεβων, εξολοθρευοντες πασαν πολιν, ανδρας, γυναικας και παιδια.

7 Παντα δε τα κτηνη και τα λαφυρα των πολεων ελεηλατησαμεν δι' εαυτους.

8 Και ελαβομεν κατ' εκεινον τον καιρον απο των χειρων των δυο βασιλεων των Αμορραιων την γην την εντευθεν του Ιορδανου, απο του ποταμου Αρνων εως του ορους Αερμων·

9 το Αερμων ονομαζουσιν οι Σιδωνιοι Σιριων, οι δε Αμορραιοι ονομαζουσιν αυτο Σενειρ·

10 πασας τας πολεις της πεδιαδος και πασαν την Γαλααδ και πασαν την Βασαν εως Σαλχα και Εδρει, πολεις του βασιλειου του Ωγ εν Βασαν.

11 Διοτι μονος ο Ωγ βασιλευς της Βασαν εσωζετο εκ του υπολοιπου των γιγαντων· ιδου, η κλινη αυτου ητο κλινη σιδηρα· δεν σωζεται αυτη εν Ραββα των υιων Αμμων; εννεα πηχαι το μηκος αυτης και τεσσαρες πηχαι το πλατος αυτης, κατα πηχην ανδρος.

12 Και την γην εκεινην, την οποιαν εκυριευσαμεν κατ' εκεινον τον καιρον, απο της Αροηρ, της παρα τον ποταμον Αρνων, και το ημισυ του ορους Γαλααδ και τας πολεις αυτου, εδωκα εις τους Ρουβηνιτας και εις τους Γαδιτας.

13 Και το υπολοιπον της Γαλααδ και πασαν την Βασαν, το βασιλειον του Ωγ, εδωκα εις το ημισυ της φυλης του Μανασση, πασαν την περιχωρον της Αργοβ μετα πασης της Βασαν, ητις ωνομαζετο γη γιγαντων.

14 Ιαειρ ο υιος του Μανασση ελαβε πασαν την περιχωρον της Αργοβ μεχρι των οριων της Γεσσουρι και Μααχαθι· και ωνομασεν αυτας κατα το ονομα αυτου, Βασαν-αβωθ-ιαειρ, μεχρι της ημερας ταυτης.

15 Και εις τον Μαχειρ εδωκα την Γαλααδ.

16 Και εις τους Ρουβηνιτας και εις τους Γαδιτας εδωκα απο Γαλααδ εως του ποταμου Αρνων το μεσον του ποταμου, και το οριον και εως του ποταμου Ιαβοκ, του οριου των υιων Αμμων·

17 και την πεδιαδα και τον Ιορδανην και το οριον απο Χιννερωθ μεχρι της θαλασσης της πεδιαδος, της αλμυρας θαλασσης, υποκατω της Ασδωθ-φασγα προς ανατολας.

18 Και προσεταξα εις εσας κατ' εκεινον τον καιρον, λεγων, Κυριος ο Θεος σας εδωκεν εις εσας την γην ταυτην να κυριευσητε αυτην· θελετε περασει ωπλισμενοι ενωπιον των αδελφων σας των υιων Ισραηλ, παντες οι ανδρες οι δυνατοι·

19 πλην αι γυναικες σας και τα παιδια σας και τα κτηνη σας, εξευρω οτι εχετε κτηνη πολλα, θελουσι μενει εις τας πολεις σας, τας οποιας εδωκα εις εσας·

20 εωσου δωση ο Κυριος αναπαυσιν εις τους αδελφους σας, καθως και εις εσας, και κυριευσωσι και αυτοι την γην, την οποιαν εδωκεν εις αυτους Κυριος ο Θεος σας, εις το περαν του Ιορδανου· και τοτε θελετε επιστρεψει εκαστος εις την κληρονομιαν αυτου, την οποιαν εδωκα εις εσας.

21 Και κατ' εκεινον τον καιρον προσεταξα εις τον Ιησουν λεγων, Οι οφθαλμοι σου ειδον παντα οσα Κυριος ο Θεος σας εκαμεν εις τους δυο τουτους βασιλεις· ουτω θελει καμει ο Κυριος εις παντα τα βασιλεια, εις τα οποια διαβαινεις·

22 δεν θελετε φοβηθη αυτους· διοτι Κυριος ο Θεος σας αυτος θελει πολεμησει υπερ υμων.

23 Και εδεηθην του Κυριου κατ' εκεινον τον καιρον, λεγων,

24 Κυριε Θεε, συ ηρχισας να δεικνυης εις τον δουλον σου την μεγαλωσυνην σου και την κραταιαν σου χειρα· διοτι τις Θεος ειναι εν τω ουρανω η εν τη γη οστις δυναται να καμη κατα τα εργα σου και κατα την δυναμιν σου;

25 ας διαβω, δεομαι, και ας ιδω την γην την αγαθην, την περαν του Ιορδανου, εκεινο το ορος το αγαθον, και τον Λιβανον.

26 Αλλ' ο Κυριος εθυμωθη εναντιον μου εξ αιτιας σας και δεν μου εισηκουσε· και ειπε Κυριος προς εμε, Αρκει εις σε· μη λαλησης προς εμε πλεον περι τουτου·

27 αναβα εις την κορυφην του Φασγα και υψωσον τους οφθαλμους σου προς δυσμας και βορραν και μεσημβριαν και ανατολας, και θεωρησον δια των οφθαλμων σου· διοτι δεν θελεις διαβη τον Ιορδανην τουτον·

28 και παραγγειλον εις τον Ιησουν και ενθαρρυνον αυτον και ενισχυσον αυτον· διοτι ουτος θελει διαβη εμπροσθεν του λαου τουτου και ουτος θελει κληροδοτησει εις αυτους την γην, την οποιαν θελεις ιδει.

29 Και εκαθημεθα εν τη κοιλαδι κατεναντι Βαιθ-φεγωρ.

7673. 'Stretch out your hand' means an exercising of power. This is clear from the meaning of 'stretching out' as that which is connected with the exercising of control, dealt with below; and from the meaning of 'hand' as power, dealt with in 878, 3387, 4931-4937, 5327, 5328, 5544, 6292, 6947, 7011, 7188, 7189, 7518. The reason why 'stretching out the hand' means the exercising of power is that there is power in the hand or arm when it is stretched out. When therefore Jehovah is said to stretch out His hand or arm, boundless or infinite power in action is meant. This explains why Jehovah told Moses on so many occasions, when miracles were to be performed, to stretch out his hand or his rod; for example,

Stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt, and they will be blood. Exodus 7:19.

Stretch out your hand over the rivers, and cause frogs to rise up. Exodus 8:1-2. 1

Stretch out your rod and strike the dust of the land, and it will then be lice. Exodus 8:11, 12. 2

Stretch out your hand towards heaven, and there will be hail. Exodus 9:22-23.

Such words would never have been used but for the meaning of 'stretching out the hand' in the highest sense as Jehovah's almighty power.

[2] The same thing is meant by Joshua's being told to stretch out his javelin, described in his book as follows,

Jehovah said to Joshua, Stretch out the javelin that is in your hand towards Ai. When therefore Joshua stretched out the javelin that was in his hand towards Ai, the ambush rose up quickly out of their place and ran, as soon as he stretched out his hand, and came to the city and took it. Joshua did not withdraw his hand which he had stretched out together with the javelin until all the inhabitants of Ai had been utterly destroyed. Joshua 8:18-19, 26.

Being representative of God's almighty power, this too, like all other representative actions when they were commanded in those times, had force.

[3] There are a number of other places in which almighty power is described when it says that Jehovah 'stretches out His hand', or else His 'outstretched hand' or His 'outstretched arm' is spoken of. It is described by Jehovah stretching out His hand in Isaiah,

The anger [of Jehovah] has been roused against His people, and He has stretched out His hand over them and struck them, and the mountains were shaken. Isaiah 5:25.

In Ezekiel,

I will stretch out My hand against him and destroy him. Ezekiel 14:9, 13.

In the same prophet,

I will stretch out My hand against you, and give you as plunder to the nations. Ezekiel 25:7.

I will stretch out My hand over Edom, and cut off from it man and beast. I will stretch out My hand over the philistines, and cut off . . . Ezekiel 25:13, 16.

Other places like these are Ezekiel 35:3; Isaiah 31:3; Zephaniah 1:4; 2:13. The use of 'outstretched hand' to describe almighty power occurs in Isaiah,

Jehovah's outstretched hand is over all the nations; who will turn it back? Isaiah 14:26, 27.

In Jeremiah,

I will fight with you with an outstretched hand and a strong arm, and in anger and in fury. Jeremiah 21:5.

In Isaiah,

Still His hand is outstretched. Isaiah 9:12, 17; 10:4.

The use of 'outstretched arm' occurs in Jeremiah,

I have made the earth, man, and beast by My great strength and by My outstretched arm. Jeremiah 27:5.

In the same prophet,

You have made heaven and earth by Your great power and Your outstretched arm; there is no matter 3 that is too impossible for You. Jeremiah 32:17.

Here it is self-evident that 'outstretched arm' means almighty power. The same applies to many other places in which the expression 'by a strong hand and an outstretched arm' is used, such as Deuteronomy 4:34; 5:15; 7:19; 9:29; 11:2; 26:8; 1 Kings 8:42; 2 Kings 17:36; Jeremiah 32:21; Ezekiel 20:33, 34.

[4] There are places too in which Jehovah is said to 'stretch out the heavens', and in these places also 'stretching out' means almighty power; that is to say, He expands the limits of heaven and fills those who are there with life and wisdom, as in Isaiah,

Jehovah is He who stretches out the heavens like a thin veil, and spreads them out like a tent to dwell in. Isaiah 40:22.

In the same prophet,

Jehovah is He who stretches out the heavens, spreads out the earth, gives breath 4 to His people upon it, and spirit to those who walk on it. Isaiah 42:5.

In Jeremiah,

. . . He who makes the earth by His power, prepares the world by His wisdom, and stretches out the heavens by His intelligence. Jeremiah 51:15.

In Zechariah,

Jehovah is He who stretches out the heavens, and founds the earth, and forms the spirit of man within him. Zechariah 12:1.

There are still more places besides these, such as Isaiah 44:24; 45:12; Psalms 104:2.

From all this one may now see why Moses was commanded to stretch out his hand and rod, that miracles were performed when he did so, and that 'stretching out the hand' for that reason means the exercising of power, and in the highest sense almighty power.
