1 And when king * h4428 Arad * h6166 the Canaanite * h3669, which dwelt * h3427 h8802 in the south * h5045, heard * h8085 h8799 tell that Israel * h3478 came * h935 h8802 by the way * h1870 of the spies * h871; then he fought * h3898 h8735 against Israel * h3478, and took * h7617 h8799 some of them prisoners * h7628.
2 And Israel * h3478 vowed * h5087 h8799 a vow * h5088 unto the LORD * h3068, and said * h559 h8799, If thou wilt indeed * h5414 h8800 deliver * h5414 h8799 this people * h5971 into my hand * h3027, then I will utterly destroy * h2763 h8689 their cities * h5892.
3 And the LORD * h3068 hearkened * h8085 h8799 to the voice * h6963 of Israel * h3478, and delivered up * h5414 h8799 the Canaanites * h3669; and they utterly destroyed * h2763 h8686 them and their cities * h5892: and he called * h7121 h8799 the name * h8034 of the place * h4725 Hormah * h2767. Hormah: that is, Utter destruction
4 And they journeyed * h5265 h8799 from mount * h2022 Hor * h2023 by the way * h1870 of the Red * h5488 sea * h3220, to compass * h5437 h8800 the land * h776 of Edom * h123: and the soul * h5315 of the people * h5971 was much discouraged * h7114 h8799 because of the way * h1870. discouraged: or, grieved: Heb. shortened
5 And the people * h5971 spake * h1696 h8762 against God * h430, and against Moses * h4872, Wherefore have ye brought us up * h5927 h8689 out of Egypt * h4714 to die * h4191 h8800 in the wilderness * h4057? for there is no bread * h3899, neither is there any water * h4325; and our soul * h5315 loatheth * h6973 h8804 this light * h7052 bread * h3899.
6 And the LORD * h3068 sent * h7971 h8762 fiery * h8314 serpents * h5175 among the people * h5971, and they bit * h5391 h8762 the people * h5971; and much * h7227 people * h5971 of Israel * h3478 died * h4191 h8799.
7 Therefore the people * h5971 came * h935 h8799 to Moses * h4872, and said * h559 h8799, We have sinned * h2398 h8804, for we have spoken * h1696 h8765 against the LORD * h3068, and against thee; pray * h6419 h8690 unto the LORD * h3068, that he take away * h5493 h8686 the serpents * h5175 from us. And Moses * h4872 prayed * h6419 h8691 for the people * h5971.
8 And the LORD * h3068 said * h559 h8799 unto Moses * h4872, Make * h6213 h8798 thee a fiery serpent * h8314, and set * h7760 h8798 it upon a pole * h5251: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten * h5391 h8803, when he looketh * h7200 h8804 upon it, shall live * h2425 h8804.
9 And Moses * h4872 made * h6213 h8799 a serpent * h5175 of brass * h5178, and put * h7760 h8799 it upon a pole * h5251, and it came to pass, that if a serpent * h5175 had bitten * h5391 h8804 any man * h376, when he beheld * h5027 h8689 the serpent * h5175 of brass * h5178, he lived * h2425 h8804.
10 And the children * h1121 of Israel * h3478 set forward * h5265 h8799, and pitched * h2583 h8799 in Oboth * h88.
11 And they journeyed * h5265 h8799 from Oboth * h88, and pitched * h2583 h8799 at Ijeabarim * h5863, in the wilderness * h4057 which is before * h6440 Moab * h4124, toward the sunrising * h4217 * h8121. Ijeabarim: or, heaps of Abarim
12 From thence they removed * h5265 h8804, and pitched * h2583 h8799 in the valley * h5158 of Zared * h2218.
13 From thence they removed * h5265 h8804, and pitched * h2583 h8799 on the other side * h5676 of Arnon * h769, which is in the wilderness * h4057 that cometh out * h3318 h8802 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 h8735 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, What...: or, Vaheb in Suphah
15 And at the stream * h793 of the brooks * h5158 that goeth down * h5186 h8804 to the dwelling * h3427 h8800 of Ar * h6144, and lieth * h8172 h8738 upon the border * h1366 of Moab * h4124. lieth: Heb. leaneth
16 And from thence they went to Beer * h876: that is the well * h875 whereof the LORD * h3068 spake * h559 h8804 unto Moses * h4872, Gather * h622 the people * h5971 together * h622 h8798, and I will give * h5414 h8799 them water * h4325.
17 Then Israel * h3478 sang * h7891 h8799 this song * h7892, Spring up * h5927 h8798, O well * h875; sing * h6030 h8798 ye unto it: Spring...: Heb. Ascend sing: or, answer
18 The princes * h8269 digged * h2658 h8804 the well * h875, the nobles * h5081 of the people * h5971 digged * h3738 h8804 it, by the direction of the lawgiver * h2710 h8781, 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 h8738 toward * h6440 Jeshimon * h3452. country: Heb. field Pisgah: or, the hill Jeshimon: or, the wilderness
21 And Israel * h3478 sent * h7971 h8799 messengers * h4397 unto Sihon * h5511 king * h4428 of the Amorites * h567, saying * h559 h8800,
22 Let me pass * h5674 h8799 through thy land * h776: we will not turn * h5186 h8799 into the fields * h7704, or into the vineyards * h3754; we will not drink * h8354 h8799 of the waters * h4325 of the well * h875: but we will go along * h3212 h8799 by the king's * h4428 high way * h1870, until we be past * h5674 h8799 thy borders * h1366.
23 And Sihon * h5511 would not suffer * h5414 h8804 Israel * h3478 to pass * h5674 h8800 through his border * h1366: but Sihon * h5511 gathered * h622 all his people * h5971 together * h622 h8799, and went out * h3318 h8799 against * h7125 h8800 Israel * h3478 into the wilderness * h4057: and he came * h935 h8799 to Jahaz * h3096, and fought * h3898 h8735 against Israel * h3478.
24 And Israel * h3478 smote * h5221 h8686 him with the edge * h6310 of the sword * h2719, and possessed * h3423 h8799 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 h8799 all these cities * h5892: and Israel * h3478 dwelt * h3427 h8799 in all the cities * h5892 of the Amorites * h567, in Heshbon * h2809, and in all the villages * h1323 thereof. villages: Heb. daughters
26 For Heshbon * h2809 was the city * h5892 of Sihon * h5511 the king * h4428 of the Amorites * h567, who had fought * h3898 h8738 against the former * h7223 king * h4428 of Moab * h4124, and taken * h3947 h8799 all his land * h776 out of his hand * h3027, even unto Arnon * h769.
27 Wherefore they that speak in proverbs * h4911 h8802 say * h559 h8799, Come * h935 h8798 into Heshbon * h2809, let the city * h5892 of Sihon * h5511 be built * h1129 h8735 and prepared * h3559 h8709:
28 For there is a fire * h784 gone out * h3318 h8804 of Heshbon * h2809, a flame * h3852 from the city * h7151 of Sihon * h5511: it hath consumed * h398 h8804 Ar * h6144 of Moab * h4124, and the lords of the high places * h1181 of Arnon * h769.
29 Woe * h188 to thee, Moab * h4124! thou art undone * h6 h8804, O people * h5971 of Chemosh * h3645: he hath given * h5414 h8804 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 h8799 at them; Heshbon * h2809 is perished * h6 h8804 even unto Dibon * h1769, and we have laid them waste * h8074 h8686 even unto Nophah * h5302, which reacheth unto Medeba * h4311.
31 Thus Israel * h3478 dwelt * h3427 h8799 in the land * h776 of the Amorites * h567.
32 And Moses * h4872 sent * h7971 h8799 to spy out * h7270 h8763 Jaazer * h3270, and they took * h3920 h8799 the villages * h1323 thereof, and drove out * h3423 h8686 h8675 * h3423 h8799 the Amorites * h567 that were there.
33 And they turned * h6437 h8799 and went up * h5927 h8799 by the way * h1870 of Bashan * h1316: and Og * h5747 the king * h4428 of Bashan * h1316 went out * h3318 h8799 against * h7125 h8800 them, he, and all his people * h5971, to the battle * h4421 at Edrei * h154.
34 And the LORD * h3068 said * h559 h8799 unto Moses * h4872, Fear * h3372 h8799 him not: for I have delivered * h5414 h8804 him into thy hand * h3027, and all his people * h5971, and his land * h776; and thou shalt do * h6213 h8804 to him as thou didst * h6213 h8804 unto Sihon * h5511 king * h4428 of the Amorites * h567, which dwelt * h3427 h8802 at Heshbon * h2809.
35 So they smote * h5221 h8686 him, and his sons * h1121, and all his people * h5971, until there was none * h1115 left * h7604 h8689 him alive * h8300: and they possessed * h3423 h8799 his land * h776.
