Numbers 21:13-26
13From thence they removedH5265, and pitchedH2583 on the other sideH5676 of ArnonH769, which is in the wildernessH4057 that cometh outH3318 of the coastsH1366 of the AmoritesH567: for ArnonH769 is the borderH1366 of MoabH4124, between MoabH4124 and the AmoritesH567. 14Wherefore it is saidH559 in the bookH5612 of the warsH4421 of YhwhH3068, What he didH2052 in the Red seaH5492, and in the brooksH5158 of ArnonH769,1 15And at the streamH793 of the brooksH5158 that goeth downH5186 to the dwellingH3427 of ArH6144, and liethH8172 upon the borderH1366 of MoabH4124.2 16And from thence they went to BeerH876: that is the wellH875 whereof YhwhH3068 spakeH559 unto MosesH4872, GatherH622 the peopleH5971 togetherH622, and I will giveH5414 them waterH4325.
17Then IsraelH3478 sangH7891 this songH7892, Spring upH5927, O wellH875; singH6030 ye unto it:34 18The princesH8269 diggedH2658 the wellH875, the noblesH5081 of the peopleH5971 diggedH3738 it, by the direction of the lawgiverH2710, with their stavesH4938. And from the wildernessH4057 they went to MattanahH4980: 19And from MattanahH4980 to NahalielH5160: and from NahalielH5160 to BamothH1120: 20And from BamothH1120 in the valleyH1516, that is in the countryH7704 of MoabH4124, to the topH7218 of PisgahH6449, which lookethH8259 towardH6440 JeshimonH3452.567
21And IsraelH3478 sentH7971 messengersH4397 unto SihonH5511 kingH4428 of the AmoritesH567, sayingH559, 22Let me passH5674 through thy landH776: we will not turnH5186 into the fieldsH7704, or into the vineyardsH3754; we will not drinkH8354 of the watersH4325 of the wellH875: but we will go alongH3212 by the king’sH4428 high wayH1870, until we be pastH5674 thy bordersH1366. 23And SihonH5511 would not sufferH5414 IsraelH3478 to passH5674 through his borderH1366: but SihonH5511 gatheredH622 all his peopleH5971 togetherH622, and went outH3318 againstH7125 IsraelH3478 into the wildernessH4057: and he cameH935 to JahazH3096, and foughtH3898 against IsraelH3478. 24And IsraelH3478 smoteH5221 him with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, and possessedH3423 his landH776 from ArnonH769 unto JabbokH2999, even unto the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983: for the borderH1366 of the childrenH1121 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 villagesH1323 thereof.8 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 ArnonH769.
