Exegesis
The independent pronoun hu {ה֤וּא | hû} ‘he’ emphasizes Og’s unique survival when nishar {נִשְׁאַר֙ | niš-’ār} ‘remained’ (Niphal perfect) from the miyeter {מִיֶּ֣תֶר | miy-ye-ter} ‘remnant’ of haRefaim {הָרְפָאִ֔ים | hā-rə-pā-’îm} ‘the Rephaim.’
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.
