Exegesis
The narrative then shifts with the vav-consecutive verbs vayyakem {וַיַּכֵּ֥ם | way-ya-kēm} ‘and he struck them’ and vayyiroshem {וַיֹּרִשֵֽׁם | way-yi-rē-šēm} ‘and he dispossessed them,’ with Mosheh {מֹשֶׁ֖ה | mō-šēh} ‘Moses’ as the agent. The construct chains and vav-consecutive forms drive the historical sequence and highlight both Og’s isolation and Moses’ decisive victory.
In context — Joshua 13:12
All the kingdom of Og in the Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei—he was left from the remnant of the Rephaim ; Moses struck them down and dispossessed them.
