Victory Over Giant King

Bashan is the site of a most unique battle between Jewish and Bashanite forces. Og, giant strongman and king of Bashan, had held high a mountain that he was about to drop on the Jewish forces. Aided by an unusual ant invasion, Moshe struck him in his ankle, and the giant toppled over dead.

“Now that’s what I call a decisive blow,” said Chaim Chayal, a soldier and eyewitness. “I’ve never seen Moshe Rabbeinu leap that high!”
