How preachers through history handled this text
8 public-domain excerpts on Deuteronomy 3, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“Og was very powerful, but he did not take warning by the ruin of Sihon, and desire conditions of peace. He trusted his own strength, and so was hardened to his destruction. Those not awakened by the judgments of God on others, ripen for the like judgments on themselves.”
— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on Deuteronomy 3:1–11 (Public Domain)
