📚 Historical Context
This refers to Israel's defeat of Og, king of Bashan, during their journey to the Promised Land around 1400 BC. Og was one of the last giants (descendants of the Nephilim) and ruled a powerful kingdom east of the Jordan River. This victory, along with their earlier defeat of King Sihon, gave Israel control of the Transjordan region and demonstrated God's power over seemingly impossible enemies.
