'Tis Like

Psalm 68 consists of 35 verses,
verses 15-23 are given below:

The hill of God is as the hill of Bashan; an high hill as the hill of Bashan. Why leap ye, ye high hills? this is the hill which God desireth to dwell in; yea, the LORD will dwell in it for ever. The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place. Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell among them. Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah. He that is our God is the God of salvation; and unto God the Lord belong the issues from death. But God shall wound the head of his enemies, and the hairy scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his trespasses. The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring my people again from the depths of the sea: That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thine enemies, and the tongue of thy dogs in the same.-Psalm 68:15-23***The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that:

-when Moses and his older brother Aaron were leading their fellow Israelites through the desert wilderness on a 40-year journey to the Promised Land, the Israelites killed King Og, the gigantic ruler of Bashan, and killed Og's sons and all the other inhabitants, and conquered their land, according to the commands of the Lord God. Afterwards, Moses gave the land to 1/2 the tribe of Manasseh, the Israelites descended from Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai), Isaac and Rebekah, Jacob (Israel) and Rachel, Joseph and Asenath, and Joseph and Asenath's firstborn son Manasseh, whom Jacob proclaimed to be his own son.   

-excellent rams, goats, lambs, cattle, and oak trees were in Bashan.

-lions were in Bashan.

-excellent pastureland was in Bashan.
