Joshua 13:12

all the kingdom of Og in Bashan "With respect to the two tribes and a half beyond the Jordan, nothing is more striking at the first glance than their wide extent, compared with the narrow space into which the western tribes were compressed … it is certainly a domain which, taken in its entire superficies, would not yield in extent to the whole region on the west of the Jordan." Ewald's History of Israel, 11. 294, 295.
