Numbers 21:21-35

21And IsraelH3478 sentH7971 messengersH4397 unto SihonH5511 kingH4428 of the AmoritesH567, sayingH559, 22Let me passH5674 through thy landH776: we will not turnH5186 asideH5186 into fieldH7704, or into vineyardH3754; we will not drinkH8354 of the waterH4325 of the wellsH875: we will go by the king’sH4428 highway, until we have passedH5674 thy borderH1366. 23And SihonH5511 would not suffer IsraelH3478 to passH5674 through his borderH1366: but SihonH5511 gatheredH622 all his peopleH5971 together, and wentH3318 out against IsraelH3478 into the wildernessH4057, and cameH935 to JahazH3096; and he foughtH3898 against IsraelH3478. 24And IsraelH3478 smote him with the edge of the swordH2719, and possessedH3423 his landH776 from the ArnonH769 unto the JabbokH2999, even unto the children of AmmonH5983; for the borderH1366 of the children of AmmonH5983 was strongH5794. 25And IsraelH3478 tookH3947 all these citiesH5892: and IsraelH3478 dweltH3427 in all the citiesH5892 of the AmoritesH567, in HeshbonH2809, and in all the towns thereof. 26For HeshbonH2809 was the cityH5892 of SihonH5511 the kingH4428 of the AmoritesH567, who had foughtH3898 against the formerH7223 kingH4428 of MoabH4124, and takenH3947 all his landH776 out of his handH3027, even unto the ArnonH769. 27Wherefore they that speak in proverbs sayH559,

ComeH935 ye to HeshbonH2809;Let the cityH5892 of SihonH5511 be builtH1129 and establishedH3559:28For a fireH784 is goneH3318 out of HeshbonH2809,A flameH3852 from the city of SihonH5511:It hath devouredH398 ArH6144 of MoabH4124,The lords of the highH1116 placesH1116 of the ArnonH769.29WoeH188 to thee, MoabH4124!Thou art undone, O peopleH5971 of ChemoshH3645:He hath givenH5414 his sonsH1121 as fugitivesH6412,And his daughtersH1323 into captivityH7628,Unto SihonH5511 kingH4428 of the AmoritesH567.30We have shotH3384 at them; HeshbonH2809 is perishedH6 even unto DibonH1769,And we have laid waste even unto Nophah,Whichreacheth unto MedebaH4311.

31Thus IsraelH3478 dweltH3427 in the landH776 of the AmoritesH567. 32And MosesH4872 sentH7971 to spyH7270 out JazerH3270; and they tookH3920 the towns thereof, and drove out the AmoritesH567 that were there.

33And they turnedH6437 and wentH3318 up by the wayH1870 of BashanH1316: and OgH5747 the kingH4428 of BashanH1316 wentH3318 out against them, he and all his peopleH5971, to battleH4421 at EdreiH154. 34And Jehovah saidH559 unto MosesH4872, FearH3372 him not: for I have delivered him into thy handH3027, and all his peopleH5971, and his landH776; and thou shalt do to him as thou didst unto SihonH5511 kingH4428 of the AmoritesH567, who dweltH3427 at HeshbonH2809. 35So they smote him, and his sonsH1121 and all his peopleH5971, until there was none leftH7604 him remainingH7604: and they possessedH3423 his landH776.
