1
And when king[H4428]Arad[H6166] the Canaanite[H3669], which dwelt[H3427] in the south[H5045], heard[H8085] tell that Israel[H3478]came[H935] by the way[H1870] of the spies[H871]; then he fought[H3898] against Israel[H3478], and took[H7617] some of them prisoners[H7628].
2
And Israel[H3478]vowed[H5087] a vow[H5088] unto the LORD[H3068], and said[H559], If thou wilt indeed[H5414]deliver[H5414] this people[H5971] into my hand[H3027], then I will utterly destroy[H2763] their cities[H5892].
3
And the LORD[H3068]hearkened[H8085] to the voice[H6963] of Israel[H3478], and delivered up[H5414] the Canaanites[H3669]; and they utterly destroyed[H2763] them and their cities[H5892]: and he called[H7121] the name[H8034] of the place[H4725]Hormah[H2767].
4
And they journeyed[H5265] from mount[H2022]Hor[H2023] by the way[H1870] of the Red[H5488]sea[H3220], to compass[H5437] the land[H776] of Edom[H123]: and the soul[H5315] of the people[H5971] was much discouraged[H7114] because of the way[H1870].
5
And the people[H5971]spake[H1696] against God[H430], and against Moses[H4872], Wherefore have ye brought us up[H5927] out of Egypt[H4714] to die[H4191] in the wilderness?[H4057] for there is no bread[H3899], neither is there any water[H4325]; and our soul[H5315]loatheth[H6973] this light[H7052]bread[H3899].
6
And the LORD[H3068]sent[H7971]fiery[H8314]serpents[H5175] among the people[H5971], and they bit[H5391] the people[H5971]; and much[H7227]people[H5971] of Israel[H3478]died[H4191].
7
Therefore the people[H5971]came[H935] to Moses[H4872], and said[H559], We have sinned[H2398], for we have spoken[H1696] against the LORD[H3068], and against thee; pray[H6419] unto the LORD[H3068], that he take away[H5493] the serpents[H5175] from us. And Moses[H4872]prayed[H6419] for the people[H5971].
8
And the LORD[H3068]said[H559] unto Moses[H4872], Make[H6213] thee a fiery serpent[H8314], and set[H7760] it upon a pole[H5251]: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten[H5391], when he looketh[H7200] upon it, shall live[H2425].
9
And Moses[H4872]made[H6213] a serpent[H5175] of brass[H5178], and put[H7760] it upon a pole[H5251], and it came to pass, that if a serpent[H5175] had bitten[H5391] any man[H376], when he beheld[H5027] the serpent[H5175] of brass[H5178], he lived[H2425].
10
And the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] set forward[H5265], and pitched[H2583] in Oboth[H88].
11
And they journeyed[H5265] from Oboth[H88], and pitched[H2583] at Ijeabarim[H5863], in the wilderness[H4057] which is before[H6440]Moab[H4124], toward the sunrising[H4217].
12
From thence they removed[H5265], and pitched[H2583] in the valley[H5158] of Zared[H2218].
13
From thence they removed[H5265], and pitched[H2583] on the other side[H5676] of Arnon[H769], which is in the wilderness[H4057] that cometh out[H3318] of the coasts[H1366] of the Amorites[H567]: for Arnon[H769] is the border[H1366] of Moab[H4124], between Moab[H4124] and the Amorites[H567].
14
Wherefore it is said[H559] in the book[H5612] of the wars[H4421] of the LORD[H3068], What he did[H2052] in the Red sea[H5492], and in the brooks[H5158] of Arnon[H769],
15
And at the stream[H793] of the brooks[H5158] that goeth down[H5186] to the dwelling[H3427] of Ar[H6144], and lieth[H8172] upon the border[H1366] of Moab[H4124].
16
And from thence they went to Beer[H876]: that is the well[H875] whereof the LORD[H3068]spake[H559] unto Moses[H4872], Gather[H622] the people[H5971]together[H622], and I will give[H5414] them water[H4325].
17
Then Israel[H3478]sang[H7891] this song[H7892], Spring up[H5927], O well[H875]; sing[H6030] ye unto it:
18
The princes[H8269]digged[H2658] the well[H875], the nobles[H5081] of the people[H5971]digged[H3738] it, by the direction of the lawgiver[H2710], with their staves[H4938]. And from the wilderness[H4057] they went to Mattanah[H4980]:
19
And from Mattanah[H4980] to Nahaliel[H5160]: and from Nahaliel[H5160] to Bamoth[H1120]:
20
And from Bamoth[H1120] in the valley[H1516], that is in the country[H7704] of Moab[H4124], to the top[H7218] of Pisgah[H6449], which looketh[H8259]toward[H6440]Jeshimon[H3452].
21
And Israel[H3478]sent[H7971]messengers[H4397] unto Sihon[H5511]king[H4428] of the Amorites[H567], saying[H559],
22
Let me pass[H5674] through thy land[H776]: we will not turn[H5186] into the fields[H7704], or into the vineyards[H3754]; we will not drink[H8354] of the waters[H4325] of the well[H875]: but we will go along[H3212] by the king's high way[H1870], until we be past[H5674] thy borders[H1366].
23
And Sihon[H5511] would not suffer[H5414]Israel[H3478] to pass[H5674] through his border[H1366]: but Sihon[H5511]gathered[H622] all his people[H5971]together[H622], and went out[H3318]against[H7125]Israel[H3478] into the wilderness[H4057]: and he came[H935] to Jahaz[H3096], and fought[H3898]against[H7125]Israel[H3478].
24
And Israel[H3478]smote[H5221] him with the edge[H6310] of the sword[H2719], and possessed[H3423] his land[H776] from Arnon[H769] unto Jabbok[H2999], even unto the children[H1121] of Ammon[H5983]: for the border[H1366] of the children[H1121] of Ammon[H5983] was strong[H5794].
25
And Israel[H3478]took[H3947] all these cities[H5892]: and Israel[H3478]dwelt[H3427] in all the cities[H5892] of the Amorites[H567], in Heshbon[H2809], and in all the villages[H1323] thereof.
26
For Heshbon[H2809] was the city[H5892] of Sihon[H5511] the king[H4428] of the Amorites[H567], who had fought[H3898] against the former[H7223]king[H4428] of Moab[H4124], and taken[H3947] all his land[H776] out of his hand[H3027], even unto Arnon[H769].
27
Wherefore they that speak in proverbs[H4911]say[H559], Come[H935] into Heshbon[H2809], let the city[H5892] of Sihon[H5511] be built[H1129] and prepared[H3559]:
28
For there is a fire[H784] gone out[H3318] of Heshbon[H2809], a flame[H3852] from the city[H7151] of Sihon[H5511]: it hath consumed[H398]Ar[H6144] of Moab[H4124], and the lords of the high places[H1181] of Arnon[H769].
29Woe[H188] to thee, Moab[H4124]! thou art undone[H6], O people[H5971] of Chemosh[H3645]: he hath given[H5414] his sons[H1121] that escaped[H6412], and his daughters[H1323], into captivity[H7622] unto Sihon[H5511]king[H4428] of the Amorites[H567].
30
We have shot[H3384] at them; Heshbon[H2809] is perished[H6] even unto Dibon[H1769], and we have laid them waste[H8074] even unto Nophah[H5302], which reacheth unto Medeba[H4311].
31
Thus Israel[H3478]dwelt[H3427] in the land[H776] of the Amorites[H567].
32
And Moses[H4872]sent[H7971] to spy out[H7270]Jaazer[H3270], and they took[H3920] the villages[H1323] thereof, and drove out[H3423] the Amorites[H567] that were there.
33
And they turned[H6437] and went up[H5927] by the way[H1870] of Bashan[H1316]: and Og[H5747] the king[H4428] of Bashan[H1316] went out[H3318]against[H7125] them, he, and all his people[H5971], to the battle[H4421] at Edrei[H154].
34
And the LORD[H3068]said[H559] unto Moses[H4872], Fear[H3372] him not: for I have delivered[H5414] him into thy hand[H3027], and all his people[H5971], and his land[H776]; and thou shalt do[H6213] to him as thou didst[H6213] unto Sihon[H5511]king[H4428] of the Amorites[H567], which dwelt[H3427] at Heshbon[H2809].
35
So they smote[H5221] him, and his sons[H1121], and all his people[H5971], until there was none[H1115]left[H7604] him alive[H8300]: and they possessed[H3423] his land[H776].
