Then we turned and went by the way of Basan: and Og the king of Basan came out to meet us with his people to fight in Edrai.
וַנֵּ֣פֶן וַנַּ֔עַל דֶּ֖רֶךְ הַבָּשָׁ֑ן וַיֵּצֵ֣א עוֹג֩ מֶֽלֶךְ־הַבָּשָׁ֨ן לִקְרָאתֵ֜נוּ ה֧וּא וְכָל־עַמּ֛וֹ לַמִּלְחָמָ֖ה אֶדְרֶֽעִי׃
One Church Father comments on this verse
The ruler of Bashan is referred to as Og, meaning barrier, since the deeds of transgression obstruct the path to salvation. Fornicators, adulterers, those who engage in unnatural vice, and all who commit sinful acts are under the reign of Og, who causes separation from God.
