1 Then we turned * h6437 h8799, and took our journey * h5265 h8799 into the wilderness * h4057 by the way * h1870 of the Red * h5488 sea * h3220, as the LORD * h3068 spake * h1696 h8765 unto me: and we compassed * h5437 h8799 mount * h2022 Seir * h8165 many * h7227 days * h3117.
2 And the LORD * h3068 spake * h559 h8799 unto me, saying * h559 h8800,
3 Ye have compassed * h5437 h8800 this mountain * h2022 long enough * h7227: turn * h6437 h8798 you northward * h6828.
4 And command * h6680 h8761 thou the people * h5971, saying * h559 h8800, Ye are to pass * h5674 h8802 through the coast * h1366 of your brethren * h251 the children * h1121 of Esau * h6215, which dwell * h3427 h8802 in Seir * h8165; and they shall be afraid * h3372 h8799 of you: take ye good * h3966 heed * h8104 h8738 unto yourselves therefore:
5 Meddle * h1624 h8691 not with them; for I will not give * h5414 h8799 you of their land * h776, no, not so much as a foot * h7272 breadth * h4096 * h3709; because I have given * h5414 h8804 mount * h2022 Seir * h8165 unto Esau * h6215 for a possession * h3425. no...: Heb. even to the treading of the sole of the foot
6 Ye shall buy * h7666 h8799 meat * h400 of them for money * h3701, that ye may eat * h398 h8804; and ye shall also buy * h3739 h8799 water * h4325 of them for money * h3701, that ye may drink * h8354 h8804.
7 For the LORD * h3068 thy God * h430 hath blessed * h1288 h8765 thee in all the works * h4639 of thy hand * h3027: he knoweth * h3045 h8804 thy walking * h3212 h8800 through this great * h1419 wilderness * h4057: these forty * h705 years * h8141 the LORD * h3068 thy God * h430 hath been with thee; thou hast lacked * h2637 h8804 nothing * h1697.
8 And when we passed * h5674 h8799 by from our brethren * h251 the children * h1121 of Esau * h6215, which dwelt * h3427 h8802 in Seir * h8165, through the way * h1870 of the plain * h6160 from Elath * h359, and from Eziongaber * h6100, we turned * h6437 h8799 and passed * h5674 h8799 by the way * h1870 of the wilderness * h4057 of Moab * h4124.
9 And the LORD * h3068 said * h559 h8799 unto me, Distress * h6696 h8799 not the Moabites * h4124, neither contend * h1624 h8691 with them in battle * h4421: for I will not give * h5414 h8799 thee of their land * h776 for a possession * h3425; because I have given * h5414 h8804 Ar * h6144 unto the children * h1121 of Lot * h3876 for a possession * h3425. Distress...: or, Use no hostility against Moab
10 The Emims * h368 dwelt * h3427 h8804 therein in times past * h6440, a people * h5971 great * h1419, and many * h7227, and tall * h7311 h8802, as the Anakims * h6062;
11 Which * h1992 also were accounted * h2803 h8735 giants * h7497, as the Anakims * h6062; but the Moabites * h4125 call * h7121 h8799 them Emims * h368.
12 The Horims * h2752 also dwelt * h3427 h8804 in Seir * h8165 beforetime * h6440; but the children * h1121 of Esau * h6215 succeeded * h3423 h8799 them, when they had destroyed * h8045 h8686 them from before * h6440 them, and dwelt * h3427 h8799 in their stead; as Israel * h3478 did * h6213 h8804 unto the land * h776 of his possession * h3425, which the LORD * h3068 gave * h5414 h8804 unto them. succeeded: Heb. inherited stead: or, room
13 Now rise up * h6965 h8798, said I , and get you over * h5674 h8798 the brook * h5158 Zered * h2218. And we went over * h5674 h8799 the brook * h5158 Zered * h2218. brook: or, valley
14 And the space * h3117 in which we came * h1980 h8804 from Kadeshbarnea * h6947, until we were come over * h5674 h8804 the brook * h5158 Zered * h2218, was thirty * h7970 and eight * h8083 years * h8141; until all the generation * h1755 of the men * h582 of war * h4421 were wasted out * h8552 h8800 from among * h7130 the host * h4264, as the LORD * h3068 sware * h7650 h8738 unto them. brook: or, valley
15 For indeed the hand * h3027 of the LORD * h3068 was against them, to destroy * h2000 h8800 them from among * h7130 the host * h4264, until they were consumed * h8552 h8800.
16 So it came to pass, when all the men * h582 of war * h4421 were consumed * h8552 h8804 and dead * h4191 h8800 from among * h7130 the people * h5971,
17 That the LORD * h3068 spake * h1696 h8762 unto me, saying * h559 h8800,
18 Thou art to pass over * h5674 h8802 through Ar * h6144, the coast * h1366 of Moab * h4124, this day * h3117:
19 And when thou comest nigh * h7126 h8804 over against * h4136 the children * h1121 of Ammon * h5983, distress * h6696 h8799 them not, nor meddle * h1624 h8691 with them: for I will not give * h5414 h8799 thee of the land * h776 of the children * h1121 of Ammon * h5983 any possession * h3425; because I have given * h5414 h8804 it unto the children * h1121 of Lot * h3876 for a possession * h3425.
20 (That also was accounted * h2803 h8735 a land * h776 of giants * h7497: giants * h7497 dwelt * h3427 h8804 therein in old time * h6440; and the Ammonites * h5984 call * h7121 h8799 them Zamzummims * h2157; Zamzummims: also called, Zuzims
21 A people * h5971 great * h1419, and many * h7227, and tall * h7311 h8802, as the Anakims * h6062; but the LORD * h3068 destroyed * h8045 h8686 them before * h6440 them; and they succeeded * h3423 h8799 them, and dwelt * h3427 h8799 in their stead:
22 As he did * h6213 h8804 to the children * h1121 of Esau * h6215, which dwelt * h3427 h8802 in Seir * h8165, when he destroyed * h8045 h8689 the Horims * h2752 from before * h6440 them; and they succeeded * h3423 h8799 them, and dwelt * h3427 h8799 in their stead even unto this day * h3117:
23 And the Avims * h5761 which dwelt * h3427 h8802 in Hazerim * h2699, even unto Azzah * h5804, the Caphtorims * h3732, which came forth * h3318 h8802 out of Caphtor * h3731, destroyed * h8045 h8689 them, and dwelt * h3427 h8799 in their stead.)
24 Rise ye up * h6965 h8798, take your journey * h5265 h8798, and pass over * h5674 h8798 the river * h5158 Arnon * h769: behold * h7200 h8798, I have given * h5414 h8804 into thine hand * h3027 Sihon * h5511 the Amorite * h567, king * h4428 of Heshbon * h2809, and his land * h776: begin * h2490 h8685 to possess * h3423 h8798 it , and contend * h1624 h8690 with him in battle * h4421. begin...: Heb. begin, possess
25 This day * h3117 will I begin * h2490 h8686 to put * h5414 h8800 the dread * h6343 of thee and the fear * h3374 of thee upon the nations * h6440 * h5971 that are under the whole heaven * h8064, who shall hear * h8085 h8799 report * h8088 of thee, and shall tremble * h7264 h8804, and be in anguish * h2342 h8804 because of thee * h6440.
26 And I sent * h7971 h8799 messengers * h4397 out of the wilderness * h4057 of Kedemoth * h6932 unto Sihon * h5511 king * h4428 of Heshbon * h2809 with words * h1697 of peace * h7965, saying * h559 h8800,
27 Let me pass * h5674 h8799 through thy land * h776: I will go * h3212 h8799 along by the high way * h1870 * h1870, I will neither turn * h5493 h8799 unto the right hand * h3225 nor to the left * h8040.
28 Thou shalt sell * h7666 h8686 me meat * h400 for money * h3701, that I may eat * h398 h8804; and give * h5414 h8799 me water * h4325 for money * h3701, that I may drink * h8354 h8804: only I will pass through * h5674 h8799 on my feet * h7272;
29 (As the children * h1121 of Esau * h6215 which dwell * h3427 h8802 in Seir * h8165, and the Moabites * h4125 which dwell * h3427 h8802 in Ar * h6144, did * h6213 h8804 unto me;) until I shall pass over * h5674 h8799 Jordan * h3383 into the land * h776 which the LORD * h3068 our God * h430 giveth * h5414 h8802 us.
30 But Sihon * h5511 king * h4428 of Heshbon * h2809 would * h14 h8804 not let us pass * h5674 h8687 by him: for the LORD * h3068 thy God * h430 hardened * h7185 h8689 his spirit * h7307, and made his heart * h3824 obstinate * h553 h8765, that he might deliver * h5414 h8800 him into thy hand * h3027, as appeareth this day * h3117.
31 And the LORD * h3068 said * h559 h8799 unto me, Behold * h7200 h8798, I have begun * h2490 h8689 to give * h5414 h8800 Sihon * h5511 and his land * h776 before * h6440 thee: begin * h2490 h8685 to possess * h3423 h8798, that thou mayest inherit * h3423 h8800 his land * h776.
32 Then Sihon * h5511 came out * h3318 h8799 against * h7125 h8800 us, he and all his people * h5971, to fight * h4421 at Jahaz * h3096.
33 And the LORD * h3068 our God * h430 delivered * h5414 h8799 him before * h6440 us; and we smote * h5221 h8686 him, and his sons * h1121, and all his people * h5971.
34 And we took * h3920 h8799 all his cities * h5892 at that time * h6256, and utterly destroyed * h2763 h8686 the men * h4962, and the women * h802, and the little ones * h2945, of every city * h5892, we left * h7604 h8689 none to remain * h8300: the men...: Heb. every city of men, and women, and little ones
35 Only the cattle * h929 we took for a prey * h962 h8804 unto ourselves, and the spoil * h7998 of the cities * h5892 which we took * h3920 h8804.
36 From Aroer * h6177, which is by the brink * h8193 of the river * h5158 of Arnon * h769, and from the city * h5892 that is by the river * h5158, even unto Gilead * h1568, there was not one city * h7151 too strong * h7682 h8804 for us: the LORD * h3068 our God * h430 delivered * h5414 h8804 all unto us * h6440:
37 Only unto the land * h776 of the children * h1121 of Ammon * h5983 thou camest * h7126 h8804 not, nor unto any place * h3027 of the river * h5158 Jabbok * h2999, nor unto the cities * h5892 in the mountains * h2022, nor unto whatsoever the LORD * h3068 our God * h430 forbad * h6680 h8765 us.
