Deuteronomy 3

Deuteronomy 3:11

Augustine of Hippo: However, Og, king of Basan, was the last remnant of the Refaim. The word refaím in the Hebrew language means “giants”, according to those who know it. Therefore, what most codices say was abandoned by the refaim, is expressed more clearly saying that it was the last remaining, that is, was one of the survivors of those giants. And that is why the length and width of his iron bed is also mentioned, to make his height more clearly visible. — QUESTIONS ON DEUTERONOMY, Q. 3 (tr. J. Litteral, draft)
