21:1 When
the
Canaanite,
the
king
of
Arad,
who
lived
in
the
Negeb,
heard
that
Israel
was
coming
by
the
way
of
Atharim,
he
fought
against
Israel,
and
took
some
of
them
captive.
21:2 And
Israel
vowed
a
vow
to
the
LORD
and
said,
"If
you
will
indeed
give
this
people
into
my
hand,
then
I
will
devote
their
cities
to
destruction."
21:3 And
the
LORD
heeded
the
voice
of
Israel
and
gave
over
the
Canaanites,
and
they
devoted
them
and
their
cities
to
destruction.
So
the
name
of
the
place
was
called
Hormah.
21:4 From
Mount
Hor
they
set
out
by
the
way
to
the
Red
Sea,
to
go
around
the
land
of
Edom.
And
the
people
became
impatient
on
the
way.
21:5 And
the
people
spoke
against
God
and
against
Moses,
"Why
have
you
brought
us
up
out
of
Egypt
to
die
in
the
wilderness
For
there
is
no
food
and
no
water,
and
we
loathe
this
worthless
food."
21:6 Then
the
LORD
sent
fiery
serpents
among
the
people,
and
they
bit
the
people,
so
that
many
people
of
Israel
died.
21:7 And
the
people
came
to
Moses
and
said,
"We
have
sinned,
for
we
have
spoken
against
the
LORD
and
against
you.
Pray
to
the
LORD,
that
he
take
away
the
serpents
from
us."
So
Moses
prayed
for
the
people.
21:8 And
the
LORD
said
to
Moses,
"Make
a
fiery
serpent
and
set
it
on
a
pole,
and
everyone
who
is
bitten,
when
he
sees
it,
shall
live."
21:9 So
Moses
made
a
bronze
serpent
and
set
it
on
a
pole.
And
if
a
serpent
bit
anyone,
he
would
look
at
the
bronze
serpent
and
live.
21:10 And
the
people
of
Israel
set
out
and
camped
in
Oboth.
21:11 And
they
set
out
from
Oboth
and
camped
at
Iye-abarim,
in
the
wilderness
that
is
opposite
Moab,
toward
the
sunrise.
21:12 From
there
they
set
out
and
camped
in
the
Valley
of
Zered.
21:13 From
there
they
set
out
and
camped
on
the
other
side
of
the
Arnon,
which
is
in
the
wilderness
that
extends
from
the
border
of
the
Amorites,
for
the
Arnon
is
the
border
of
Moab,
between
Moab
and
the
Amorites.
21:14 Therefore
it
is
said
in
the
Book
of
the
Wars
of
the
LORD,
"Waheb
in
Suphah,
and
the
valleys
of
the
Arnon,
21:15 and
the
slope
of
the
valleys
that
extends
to
the
seat
of
Ar,
and
leans
to
the
border
of
Moab."
21:16 And
from
there
they
continued
to
Beer;
that
is
the
well
of
which
the
LORD
said
to
Moses,
"Gather
the
people
together,
so
that
I
may
give
them
water."
21:17 Then
Israel
sang
this
song:
"Spring
up,
O
well!--Sing
to
it!--
21:18 the
well
that
the
princes
made,
that
the
nobles
of
the
people
dug,
with
the
scepter
and
with
their
staffs."
And
from
the
wilderness
they
went
on
to
Mattanah,
21:19 and
from
Mattanah
to
Nahaliel,
and
from
Nahaliel
to
Bamoth,
21:20 and
from
Bamoth
to
the
valley
lying
in
the
region
of
Moab
by
the
top
of
Pisgah
that
looks
down
on
the
desert.
21:21 Then
Israel
sent
messengers
to
Sihon
king
of
the
Amorites,
saying,
21:22 "Let
me
pass
through
your
land.
We
will
not
turn
aside
into
field
or
vineyard.
We
will
not
drink
the
water
of
a
well.
We
will
go
by
the
King's
Highway
until
we
have
passed
through
your
territory."
21:23 But
Sihon
would
not
allow
Israel
to
pass
through
his
territory.
He
gathered
all
his
people
together
and
went
out
against
Israel
to
the
wilderness
and
came
to
Jahaz
and
fought
against
Israel.
21:24 And
Israel
defeated
him
with
the
edge
of
the
sword
and
took
possession
of
his
land
from
the
Arnon
to
the
Jabbok,
as
far
as
to
the
Ammonites,
for
the
border
of
the
Ammonites
was
strong.
21:25 And
Israel
took
all
these
cities,
and
Israel
settled
in
all
the
cities
of
the
Amorites,
in
Heshbon,
and
in
all
its
villages.
21:26 For
Heshbon
was
the
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
the
Arnon.
21:27 Therefore
the
ballad
singers
say,
"Come
to
Heshbon,
let
it
be
built;
let
the
city
of
Sihon
be
established.
21:28 For
fire
came
out
from
Heshbon,
flame
from
the
city
of
Sihon.
It
devoured
Ar
of
Moab,
and
swallowed
the
heights
of
the
Arnon.
21:29 Woe
to
you,
O
Moab!
You
are
undone,
O
people
of
Chemosh!
He
has
made
his
sons
fugitives,
and
his
daughters
captives,
to
an
Amorite
king,
Sihon.
21:30 So
we
overthrew
them;
Heshbon,
as
far
as
Dibon,
perished;
and
we
laid
waste
as
far
as
Nophah;
fire
spread
as
far
as
Medeba."
21:31 Thus
Israel
lived
in
the
land
of
the
Amorites.
21:32 And
Moses
sent
to
spy
out
Jazer,
and
they
captured
its
villages
and
dispossessed
the
Amorites
who
were
there.
21:33 Then
they
turned
and
went
up
by
the
way
to
Bashan.
And
Og
the
king
of
Bashan
came
out
against
them,
he
and
all
his
people,
to
battle
at
Edrei.
21:34 But
the
LORD
said
to
Moses,
"Do
not
fear
him,
for
I
have
given
him
into
your
hand,
and
all
his
people,
and
his
land.
And
you
shall
do
to
him
as
you
did
to
Sihon
king
of
the
Amorites,
who
lived
at
Heshbon."
21:35 So
they
defeated
him
and
his
sons
and
all
his
people,
until
he
had
no
survivor
left.
And
they
possessed
his
land.
