The Key Word — נָכָה, vai.ya.Kugenerated
The verb נָכָה (nakah) means to strike or smite, and it encompasses a range of actions from lightly hitting to delivering fatal blows. In this context, it signifies the decisive military action taken by Israel against Og and his forces, indicating a complete and overwhelming victory.
The Hiphil form indicates causative action, suggesting that Israel did not merely strike but actively caused the defeat of Og and his army. This word is often associated with divine judgment, reinforcing the idea that Israel's victory was not just military but also a fulfillment of God's promise.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb of the verse is וַיַּכּ֨וּ (vai.ya.Ku), and they struck down, which governs the entire action of the sentence. The structure shows a clear sequence of actions: the defeat of Og and his people, the condition of their complete destruction, and the subsequent possession of the land.
The phrase עַד־ בִּלְתִּ֥י (ad bilti), until no remnant was left, serves as a critical temporal marker, emphasizing the thoroughness of the victory. The sentence flows logically, with each clause building on the last to illustrate the totality of Israel's conquest.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
In the Septuagint, the Hebrew verb נָכָה is translated as ἐπάταχεν (epatachen), which also means 'struck down' or 'defeated'. This choice aligns closely with the Hebrew, maintaining the emphasis on the violent and decisive nature of the action.
The translation reflects a consistent understanding of the event, focusing on the military defeat rather than any figurative interpretation, thereby preserving the historical context of Israel's conquest.

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]
1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.
I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered to you. 1 Corinthians 11:1.
For it was of the Lord to harden their hearts. Joshua 11:1.
It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed.
Lamentations 3:1.
The whole disposing thereof is of the Lord. Proverbs 16:1.
Go, inquire of the Lord for me. 2 Chronicles 34:2.
That holy thing that shall be born of thee. Luke 1:1.
Hence of is the sign of the genitive case, the case that denotes production; as the son of man, the son proceeding from man, produced from man. This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…
אֵת (eth) is primarily a grammatical marker in Hebrew, indicating the definite direct object of a verb. It is not translated into English and typically precedes nouns that are definite.
