Halakha Ulangan 3:11: Shulchan Arukh, Orach Chayim

כִּ֣י רַק־ע֞וֹג מֶ֣לֶךְ הַבָּשָׁ֗ן נִשְׁאַר֮ מִיֶּ֣תֶר הָרְפָאִים֒ הִנֵּ֤ה עַרְשׂוֹ֙ עֶ֣רֶשׂ בַּרְזֶ֔ל הֲלֹ֣ה הִ֔וא בְּרַבַּ֖ת בְּנֵ֣י עַמּ֑וֹן תֵּ֧שַׁע אַמּ֣וֹת אָרְכָּ֗הּ וְאַרְבַּ֥ע אַמּ֛וֹת רָחְבָּ֖הּ בְּאַמַּת־אִֽישׁ׃

Sebab hanya Og, raja Basan, yang tersisa dari sisa-sisa orang Refaim. Lihatlah, ranjangnya adalah ranjang besi; bukankah ranjang itu ada di Raba, kota bani Amon? Panjangnya sembilan hasta dan lebarnya empat hasta, menurut hasta orang itu.

Shulchan Arukh, Orach Chayim

7. Houses constructed in a settled and populated area, if they are located in a wilderness or rural region where wild animals are common, and a wild animal climbs onto the roof and takes a child from its crib (meaning a small bed made of iron), then it is considered sent. However, if it did not reach that specific crib, it is not considered sent. This applies to humans who endanger themselves by coming to a wildlife habitat. As for other types of crawling creatures on the land and flying creatures that were sent and caused harm, such as sending snakes and scorpions that cause harm but are not lethal, not to mention lice, mosquitoes, and the like, one does not fast or sound the alarm for them.
