Discovery BoxDeuteronomy 3:4-5 
Context3:4 We captured all his cities at that time – there was not a town we did not take from them – sixty cities, all the region of Argob, 1 the dominion of Og in Bashan. 3:5 All of these cities were fortified by high walls, gates, and locking bars; 2 in addition there were a great many open villages. 3
1 sn Argob. This is a subdistrict of Bashan, perhaps north of the Yarmuk River. See Y. Aharoni, Land of the Bible, 314.
2 tn Or “high walls and barred gates” (NLT); Heb “high walls, gates, and bars.” Since “bars” could be understood to mean “saloons,” the qualifying adjective “locking” has been supplied in the translation.
3 tn The Hebrew term פְּרָזִי (pÿraziy) refers to rural areas, at the most “unwalled villages” (KJV, NASB “unwalled towns”).
