Chapter 21

1 WHEN the Canaanite, the king of Gadar who dwelled in the south, heard that Israel came by the way of the spies, then he fought against Israel and took some of them prisoners.

2 And Israel vowed a vow to the LORD and said, If thou wilt surely deliver this people into our hands, then we will utterly destroy their cities.

3 And the LORD hearkened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites into their hands; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities; and they called the name of that place Hirmah.

4 And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red Sea, to go around the land of Edom; and the people were much distressed because of the way.

5 And the people murmured against God and against Moses, saying, Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For neither is there bread, nor water; and our soul is wearied with this inferior bread (manna).

6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents against the people, and they bit the people, so that many people of Israel died.

7 Therefore the people came to Moses and said to him, We have sinned, for we have murmured against the LORD and against you; pray before the LORD, that he take the serpents away from us. And Moses prayed for the people.

8 And the LORD said to Moses, Make a fiery serpent of brass, and set it upon a pole; and it shall come to pass that every one who is bitten by a serpent, when he looks upon it, shall live.

9 So Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.

10 And the children of Israel journeyed, and encamped in Aboth.

11 And they journeyed from Aboth, and encamped at the Een di Ebraye (the spring of the Hebrews), in the wilderness which is before Moab, to the east toward the sunrise.

12 From thence they journeyed, and encamped in the valley of Zared.

13 From thence they journeyed, and encamped on the other side of Arnon, which is in the wilderness that extends from the border of the Amorites; for Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.

14 Wherefore it is said in the book of the wars of the LORD, A flame of fire is in the whirlwind and in the river of Arnon,

15 And he made straight the slope of the valleys which extended to the site of Ad, which lies over the border of Moab.

16 And there is the Bera; that is, the well of which the LORD said to Moses, Gather the people together and I will give them water.

17 Then Israel sang this song, Spring up, O well; sing ye to it:

18 The well which the princes dug, which the nobles of the people uncovered and searched out with their staves. And from the wilderness they went to Mattanah;

19 And from Mattanah to Nahaliel; and from Nahaliel to Bamoth;

20 And from Bamoth in the valley, which is in the country of Moab, to the top of the hill which looks toward Ashimon (the desert).

21 And Israel sent messengers to Sihon, king of the Amorites, saying,

22 Let us pass through your land; we will not turn aside into the fields or into the vineyards; we will not drink water from the wells; but we will go along by the king's highway until we have passed through your borders.

23 And Sihon would not let Israel pass through his borders; but Sihon gathered all his army together, and went out against Israel into the wilderness; and he came to Jahaz and fought against Israel.

24 And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land from Arnon to Jabbok, and as far as the border of the children of Ammon; for the border of the children of Ammon was fortified.

25 And Israel took all those cities; and Israel settled in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon and in all the villages thereof.

26 For Heshbon was the capital city of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab and taken all his land out of his hand as far as Arnon.

27 Wherefore they say in the proverbs. Come into Heshbon, let the city of Sihon be built and prepared:

28 For a fire has gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon. It has consumed Ad of Moab, and the worshippers of the high places of Arnon.

29 Woe to you, O Arnon! Woe to you, O Moab! You are destroyed, O people of Chemosh; he has given his sons hostages, and his daughters into captivity to Sihon king of the Amorites.

30 The fields of Heshbon have perished as far as Ribon, and have been laid waste as far as Lanhakh, which is in the wilderness.

31 Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites.

32 And Moses sent to spy out Jaazer, and they captured its villages, and destroyed the Amorites that were there.

33 And they turned and went up to the land of Mathnin; and Og the king of Mathnin went out against them, he and all his people, to the battle at Ardai.

34 And the LORD said to Moses, Fear him not; for I will deliver him into your hands, and all his people and his country; and you shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon.

35 So they smote him and his sons and all his people until there was not a survivor left to him; and they possessed his land.

Chapter 21

1 And when king4428 Arad6166 the Canaanite,3669 which dwelt3427 in the south,5045 heard tell8085 that3588 Israel3478 came935 by the way1870 of the spies;871 then he fought3898 against Israel,3478 and took7617 some of4480 them prisoners.7628

2 And Israel3478 vowed5087 a vow5088 unto the LORD,3068 and said,559 If518 thou wilt indeed deliver5414 5414 853 this2088 people5971 into my hand,3027 then I will utterly destroy2763 853 their cities.5892

3 And the LORD3068 hearkened8085 to the voice6963 of Israel,3478 and delivered up5414 853 the Canaanites;3669 and they utterly destroyed2763 them and their cities:5892 and he called7121 the name8034 of the place4725 Hormah.2767

4 And they journeyed5265 from mount2022 Hor4480 2023 by the way1870 of the Red5488 sea,3220 to compass5437 853 the land776 of Edom:123 and the soul5315 of the people5971 was much discouraged7114 because of the way.1870

5 And the people5971 spoke1696 against God,430 and against Moses,4872 Wherefore4100 have ye brought us up5927 out of Egypt4480 4714 to die4191 in the wilderness?4057 for3588 there is no369 bread,3899 neither369 is there any water;4325 and our soul5315 loatheth6973 this light7052 bread.3899

6 And the LORD3068 sent7971 853 fiery8314 serpents5175 among the people,5971 and they bit5391 853 the people;5971 and much7227 people5971 of Israel4480 3478 died.4191

7 Therefore the people5971 came935 to413 Moses,4872 and said,559 We have sinned,2398 for3588 we have spoken1696 against the LORD,3068 and against thee; pray6419 unto413 the LORD,3068 that he take away5493 853 the serpents5175 from4480 5921 us. And Moses4872 prayed6419 for1157 the people.5971

8 And the LORD3068 said559 unto413 Moses,4872 Make6213 thee a fiery serpent,8314 and set7760 it upon5921 a pole:5251 and it shall come to pass,1961 that every one3605 that is bitten,5391 when he looketh upon7200 it, shall live.2425

9 And Moses4872 made6213 a serpent5175 of brass,5178 and put7760 it upon5921 a pole,5251 and it came to pass,1961 that if518 a serpent5175 had bitten5391 853 any man,376 when he beheld5027 413 the serpent5175 of brass,5178 he lived.2425

10 And the children1121 of Israel3478 set forward,5265 and pitched2583 in Oboth.88

11 And they journeyed5265 from Oboth,4480 88 and pitched2583 at Ije-abarim,5863 in the wilderness4057 which834 is before5921 6440 Moab,4124 toward the sunrising.4480 4217 8121

12 From thence4480 8033 they removed,5265 and pitched2583 in the valley5158 of Zared.2218

13 From thence4480 8033 they removed,5265 and pitched2583 on the other side4480 5676 of Arnon,769 which834 is in the wilderness4057 that cometh out3318 of the coasts4480 1366 of the Amorites:567 for3588 Arnon769 is the border1366 of Moab,4124 between996 Moab4124 and the Amorites.567

14 Wherefore5921 3651 it is said559 in the book5612 of the wars4421 of the LORD,3068 853 What he did2052 in the Red sea,5492 and in the brooks5158 of Arnon,769

15 And at the stream793 of the brooks5158 that834 goeth down5186 to the dwelling7675 of Ar,6144 and lieth8172 upon the border1366 of Moab.4124

16 And from thence4480 8033 they went to Beer:876 that1931 is the well875 whereof834 the LORD3068 spoke559 unto Moses,4872 Gather the people together,622 853 5971 and I will give5414 them water.4325

17 Then227 Israel3478 sang7891 853 this2063 song,7892 Spring up,5927 O well;875 sing6030 ye unto it:

18 The princes8269 digged2658 the well,875 the nobles5081 of the people5971 digged3738 it, by the direction of the lawgiver,2710 with their staves.4938 And from the wilderness4480 4057 they went to Mattanah: 4980

19 And from Mattanah4480 4980 to Nahaliel:5160 and from Nahaliel4480 5160 to Bamoth: 1120

20 And from Bamoth4480 1120 in the valley,1516 that834 is in the country7704 of Moab,4124 to the top7218 of Pisgah,6449 which looketh8259 toward5921 6440 Jeshimon.3452

21 And Israel3478 sent7971 messengers4397 unto413 Sihon5511 king4428 of the Amorites,567 saying,559

22 Let me pass5674 through thy land:776 we will not3808 turn5186 into the fields,7704 or into the vineyards;3754 we will not3808 drink8354 of the waters4325 of the well:875 but we will go along1980 by the king's4428 high way,1870 until5704 834 we be past5674 thy borders.1366

23 And Sihon5511 would not3808 suffer5414 853 Israel3478 to pass5674 through his border:1366 but Sihon5511 gathered all his people together,622 853 3605 5971 and went out3318 against7125 Israel3478 into the wilderness:4057 and he came935 to Jahaz,3096 and fought3898 against Israel.3478

24 And Israel3478 smote5221 him with the edge6310 of the sword,2719 and possessed3423 853 his land776 from Arnon4480 769 unto5704 Jabbok,2999 even unto5704 the children1121 of Ammon:5983 for3588 the border1366 of the children1121 of Ammon5983 was strong.5794

25 And Israel3478 took3947 853 all3605 these428 cities:5892 and Israel3478 dwelt3427 in all3605 the cities5892 of the Amorites,567 in Heshbon,2809 and in all3605 the villages1323 thereof.

26 For3588 Heshbon2809 was the city5892 of Sihon5511 the king4428 of the Amorites,567 who1931 had fought3898 against the former7223 king4428 of Moab,4124 and taken3947 853 all3605 his land776 out of his hand,4480 3027 even unto5704 Arnon.769

27 Wherefore5921 3651 they that speak in proverbs4911 say,559 Come935 into Heshbon,2809 let the city5892 of Sihon5511 be built1129 and prepared: 3559

28 For3588 there is a fire784 gone out3318 of Heshbon,4480 2809 a flame3852 from the city4480 7151 of Sihon:5511 it hath consumed398 Ar6144 of Moab,4124 and the lords1167 of the high places1116 of Arnon.769

29 Woe188 to thee, Moab!4124 thou art undone,6 O people5971 of Chemosh:3645 he hath given5414 his sons1121 that escaped,6412 and his daughters,1323 into captivity7628 unto Sihon5511 king4428 of the Amorites.567

30 We have shot3384 at them; Heshbon2809 is perished6 even unto5704 Dibon,1769 and we have laid them waste8074 even unto5704 Nophah,5302 which834 reacheth unto5704 Medeba.4311

31 Thus Israel3478 dwelt3427 in the land776 of the Amorites.567

32 And Moses4872 sent7971 to spy out7270 853 Jaazer,3270 and they took3920 the villages1323 thereof, and drove out3423 853 the Amorites567 that834 were there.8033

33 And they turned6437 and went up5927 by the way1870 of Bashan:1316 and Og5747 the king4428 of Bashan1316 went out3318 against7125 them, he,1931 and all3605 his people,5971 to the battle4421 at Edrei.154

34 And the LORD3068 said559 unto413 Moses,4872 Fear3372 him not:408 for3588 I have delivered5414 him into thy hand,3027 and all3605 his people,5971 and his land;776 and thou shalt do6213 to him as834 thou didst6213 unto Sihon5511 king4428 of the Amorites,567 which834 dwelt3427 at Heshbon.2809

35 So they smote5221 him, and his sons,1121 and all3605 his people,5971 until5704 there was none1115 left7604 him alive:8300 and they possessed3423 853 his land.776

1 WHEN the Canaanite, the king of Gadar who dwelled in the south, heard that Israel came by the way of the spies, then he fought against Israel and took some of them prisoners.

1 And when king4428 Arad6166 the Canaanite,3669 which dwelt3427 in the south,5045 heard tell8085 that3588 Israel3478 came935 by the way1870 of the spies;871 then he fought3898 against Israel,3478 and took7617 some of4480 them prisoners.7628

2 And Israel vowed a vow to the LORD and said, If thou wilt surely deliver this people into our hands, then we will utterly destroy their cities.

2 And Israel3478 vowed5087 a vow5088 unto the LORD,3068 and said,559 If518 thou wilt indeed deliver5414 5414 853 this2088 people5971 into my hand,3027 then I will utterly destroy2763 853 their cities.5892

3 And the LORD hearkened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites into their hands; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities; and they called the name of that place Hirmah.

3 And the LORD3068 hearkened8085 to the voice6963 of Israel,3478 and delivered up5414 853 the Canaanites;3669 and they utterly destroyed2763 them and their cities:5892 and he called7121 the name8034 of the place4725 Hormah.2767

4 And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red Sea, to go around the land of Edom; and the people were much distressed because of the way.

4 And they journeyed5265 from mount2022 Hor4480 2023 by the way1870 of the Red5488 sea,3220 to compass5437 853 the land776 of Edom:123 and the soul5315 of the people5971 was much discouraged7114 because of the way.1870

5 And the people murmured against God and against Moses, saying, Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For neither is there bread, nor water; and our soul is wearied with this inferior bread (manna).

5 And the people5971 spoke1696 against God,430 and against Moses,4872 Wherefore4100 have ye brought us up5927 out of Egypt4480 4714 to die4191 in the wilderness?4057 for3588 there is no369 bread,3899 neither369 is there any water;4325 and our soul5315 loatheth6973 this light7052 bread.3899

6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents against the people, and they bit the people, so that many people of Israel died.

6 And the LORD3068 sent7971 853 fiery8314 serpents5175 among the people,5971 and they bit5391 853 the people;5971 and much7227 people5971 of Israel4480 3478 died.4191

7 Therefore the people came to Moses and said to him, We have sinned, for we have murmured against the LORD and against you; pray before the LORD, that he take the serpents away from us. And Moses prayed for the people.

7 Therefore the people5971 came935 to413 Moses,4872 and said,559 We have sinned,2398 for3588 we have spoken1696 against the LORD,3068 and against thee; pray6419 unto413 the LORD,3068 that he take away5493 853 the serpents5175 from4480 5921 us. And Moses4872 prayed6419 for1157 the people.5971

8 And the LORD said to Moses, Make a fiery serpent of brass, and set it upon a pole; and it shall come to pass that every one who is bitten by a serpent, when he looks upon it, shall live.

8 And the LORD3068 said559 unto413 Moses,4872 Make6213 thee a fiery serpent,8314 and set7760 it upon5921 a pole:5251 and it shall come to pass,1961 that every one3605 that is bitten,5391 when he looketh upon7200 it, shall live.2425

9 So Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.

9 And Moses4872 made6213 a serpent5175 of brass,5178 and put7760 it upon5921 a pole,5251 and it came to pass,1961 that if518 a serpent5175 had bitten5391 853 any man,376 when he beheld5027 413 the serpent5175 of brass,5178 he lived.2425

10 And the children of Israel journeyed, and encamped in Aboth.

10 And the children1121 of Israel3478 set forward,5265 and pitched2583 in Oboth.88

11 And they journeyed from Aboth, and encamped at the Een di Ebraye (the spring of the Hebrews), in the wilderness which is before Moab, to the east toward the sunrise.

11 And they journeyed5265 from Oboth,4480 88 and pitched2583 at Ije-abarim,5863 in the wilderness4057 which834 is before5921 6440 Moab,4124 toward the sunrising.4480 4217 8121

12 From thence they journeyed, and encamped in the valley of Zared.

12 From thence4480 8033 they removed,5265 and pitched2583 in the valley5158 of Zared.2218

13 From thence they journeyed, and encamped on the other side of Arnon, which is in the wilderness that extends from the border of the Amorites; for Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.

13 From thence4480 8033 they removed,5265 and pitched2583 on the other side4480 5676 of Arnon,769 which834 is in the wilderness4057 that cometh out3318 of the coasts4480 1366 of the Amorites:567 for3588 Arnon769 is the border1366 of Moab,4124 between996 Moab4124 and the Amorites.567

14 Wherefore it is said in the book of the wars of the LORD, A flame of fire is in the whirlwind and in the river of Arnon,

14 Wherefore5921 3651 it is said559 in the book5612 of the wars4421 of the LORD,3068 853 What he did2052 in the Red sea,5492 and in the brooks5158 of Arnon,769

15 And he made straight the slope of the valleys which extended to the site of Ad, which lies over the border of Moab.

15 And at the stream793 of the brooks5158 that834 goeth down5186 to the dwelling7675 of Ar,6144 and lieth8172 upon the border1366 of Moab.4124

16 And there is the Bera; that is, the well of which the LORD said to Moses, Gather the people together and I will give them water.

17 Then Israel sang this song, Spring up, O well; sing ye to it:

17 Then227 Israel3478 sang7891 853 this2063 song,7892 Spring up,5927 O well;875 sing6030 ye unto it:

18 The well which the princes dug, which the nobles of the people uncovered and searched out with their staves. And from the wilderness they went to Mattanah;

18 The princes8269 digged2658 the well,875 the nobles5081 of the people5971 digged3738 it, by the direction of the lawgiver,2710 with their staves.4938 And from the wilderness4480 4057 they went to Mattanah: 4980

19 And from Mattanah to Nahaliel; and from Nahaliel to Bamoth;

19 And from Mattanah4480 4980 to Nahaliel:5160 and from Nahaliel4480 5160 to Bamoth: 1120

20 And from Bamoth in the valley, which is in the country of Moab, to the top of the hill which looks toward Ashimon (the desert).

20 And from Bamoth4480 1120 in the valley,1516 that834 is in the country7704 of Moab,4124 to the top7218 of Pisgah,6449 which looketh8259 toward5921 6440 Jeshimon.3452

21 And Israel sent messengers to Sihon, king of the Amorites, saying,

21 And Israel3478 sent7971 messengers4397 unto413 Sihon5511 king4428 of the Amorites,567 saying,559

22 Let us pass through your land; we will not turn aside into the fields or into the vineyards; we will not drink water from the wells; but we will go along by the king's highway until we have passed through your borders.

22 Let me pass5674 through thy land:776 we will not3808 turn5186 into the fields,7704 or into the vineyards;3754 we will not3808 drink8354 of the waters4325 of the well:875 but we will go along1980 by the king's4428 high way,1870 until5704 834 we be past5674 thy borders.1366

23 And Sihon would not let Israel pass through his borders; but Sihon gathered all his army together, and went out against Israel into the wilderness; and he came to Jahaz and fought against Israel.

23 And Sihon5511 would not3808 suffer5414 853 Israel3478 to pass5674 through his border:1366 but Sihon5511 gathered all his people together,622 853 3605 5971 and went out3318 against7125 Israel3478 into the wilderness:4057 and he came935 to Jahaz,3096 and fought3898 against Israel.3478

24 And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land from Arnon to Jabbok, and as far as the border of the children of Ammon; for the border of the children of Ammon was fortified.

24 And Israel3478 smote5221 him with the edge6310 of the sword,2719 and possessed3423 853 his land776 from Arnon4480 769 unto5704 Jabbok,2999 even unto5704 the children1121 of Ammon:5983 for3588 the border1366 of the children1121 of Ammon5983 was strong.5794

25 And Israel took all those cities; and Israel settled in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon and in all the villages thereof.

25 And Israel3478 took3947 853 all3605 these428 cities:5892 and Israel3478 dwelt3427 in all3605 the cities5892 of the Amorites,567 in Heshbon,2809 and in all3605 the villages1323 thereof.

26 For Heshbon was the capital city of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab and taken all his land out of his hand as far as Arnon.

26 For3588 Heshbon2809 was the city5892 of Sihon5511 the king4428 of the Amorites,567 who1931 had fought3898 against the former7223 king4428 of Moab,4124 and taken3947 853 all3605 his land776 out of his hand,4480 3027 even unto5704 Arnon.769

27 Wherefore they say in the proverbs. Come into Heshbon, let the city of Sihon be built and prepared:

27 Wherefore5921 3651 they that speak in proverbs4911 say,559 Come935 into Heshbon,2809 let the city5892 of Sihon5511 be built1129 and prepared: 3559
