Numbers 21:13-26

13From thereH8033 they journeyedH5265 and campedH2583 on the otherH5676 sideH5676 of the ArnonH769, whichH834 is in the wildernessH4057 that comesH3318 outH3318 of the borderH1366 of the AmoritesH567; 1for the ArnonH769 is the borderH1366 of MoabH4124, betweenH996 MoabH4124 and the AmoritesH567. 14For thatH3651 reasonH3651 it is saidH559 in the BookH5612 of the WarsH4421 of the LordH3068, “WahebH2052 in SuphahH5492, And the 2wadisH5158 of the ArnonH769,15And the slopeH793 of the wadisH5158 That extendsH5186 to the siteH7675 of 3ArH6144, And leansH8172 to the borderH1366 of MoabH4124.”

164From thereH8033 they continued to 5BeerH876, that is the wellH875 whereH834 the LordH3068 saidH559 to MosesH4872, “AssembleH622 the peopleH5971, that I may giveH5414 them waterH4325.”

176ThenH227 IsraelH3478 sangH7891 thisH2088 songH7892: “SpringH5927 upH5927, O wellH875! SingH6031 to it!18The wellH875, which the leadersH8269 dugH2658, Which the noblesH5081 of the peopleH5971 hollowedH3738 outH3738, With the scepterH2710 and with their staffsH4938.” And from the wildernessH4057 they continued to MattanahH4980, 19and from MattanahH4980 to NahalielH5160, and from NahalielH5160 to BamothH1120, 20and from BamothH1120 to the valleyH1516 that is in the landH7704 of MoabH4124, at the topH7218 of PisgahH6449, which overlooksH5921H6440H8259 the 7desertH3452.

218Then IsraelH3478 sentH7971 messengersH4397 to SihonH5511, kingH4428 of the AmoritesH567, sayingH559, 22“9Let me passH5674 through your landH776. We will not turnH5186 offH5186 into fieldH7704 or vineyardH3754; we will not drinkH8354 waterH4325 from wellsH875. We will goH1980 by the king’sH4428 roadH1870 untilH5704H834 we have passedH5674 throughH5674 your borderH1366.” 2310But SihonH5511 would not permitH5414 IsraelH3478 to passH5674 through his borderH1366. Instead, SihonH5511 gatheredH622 allH3605 his peopleH5971 and wentH3318 outH3318 againstH7122 IsraelH3478 in the wildernessH4057, and cameH935 to 11JahazH3096 and foughtH3898 against IsraelH3478. 24Then 12IsraelH3478 struckH5221 him with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, and tookH3423 possessionH3423 of his landH776 from the ArnonH769 to the JabbokH2999, as farH5704 as the sonsH1121 of AmmonH5983; for the 13borderH1366 of the sonsH1121 of AmmonH5983 was 14JazerH3270. 25IsraelH3478 tookH3947 allH3605 theseH428 citiesH5892, and 15IsraelH3478 livedH3427 in allH3605 the citiesH5892 of the AmoritesH567, in HeshbonH2809 and in allH3605 her 16villagesH1323. 26For HeshbonH2809 was the cityH5892 of SihonH5511, kingH4428 of the AmoritesH567, whoH1931 had foughtH3898 against the formerH7223 kingH4428 of MoabH4124 and had takenH3947 allH3605 his landH776 out of his handH3027, as farH5704 as the ArnonH769.
