ASV_Strong : Numbers 21
1. And the Canaanite[H3669], the king[H4428] of Arad[H6166], who dwelt[H3427] in the South[H5045], heard[H8085] tell that Israel[H3478] came[H935] by the way[H1870] of Atharim[H871]; and he fought[H3898] against Israel[H3478], and took[H7617] some of them captive[H7628].
2. And Israel[H3478] vowed[H5087] a vow[H5088] unto Jehovah[H3068], and said[H559], If thou wilt indeed[H5414] deliver[H5414] this people[H5971] into my hand[H3027], then I will utterly destroy[H2763] their cities[H5892].
3. And Jehovah[H3068] hearkened[H8085] to the voice[H6963] of Israel[H3478], and delivered up[H5414] the Canaanites[H3669]; and they utterly destroyed[H2763] them and their cities[H5892]: and the name[H8034] of the place[H4725] was called[H7121] Hormah[H2767].
4. And they journeyed[H5265] from mount[H2022] Hor[H2023] by the way[H1870] to the Red[H5488] Sea[H3220], to compass[H5437] the land[H776] of Edom[H123]: and the soul[H5315] of the people[H5971] was much discouraged[H7114] because of the way[H1870].
5. And the people[H5971] spake[H1696] against God[H430], and against Moses[H4872], Wherefore have ye brought us up[H5927] out of Egypt[H4714] to die[H4191] in the wilderness[H4057]? for there is no bread[H3899], and there is no water[H4325]; and our soul[H5315] loatheth[H6973] this light[H7052] bread[H3899].
6. And Jehovah[H3068] sent[H7971] fiery[H8314] serpents[H5175] among the people[H5971], and they bit[H5391] the people[H5971]; and much[H7227] people[H5971] of Israel[H3478] died[H4191].
7. And the people[H5971] came[H935] to Moses[H4872], and said[H559], We have sinned[H2398], because we have spoken[H1696] against Jehovah[H3068], and against thee[H6419]; pray unto Jehovah[H3068], that he take away[H5493] the serpents[H5175] from us[H4872]. And Moses prayed[H6419] for the people[H5971].
8. And Jehovah[H3068] said[H559] unto Moses[H4872], Make[H6213] thee a fiery serpent[H8314], and set[H7760] it upon a standard[H5251]: and it shall come to pass[H5391], that every one that is bitten, when he seeth[H7200] it[H2425], shall live.
9. And Moses[H4872] made[H6213] a serpent[H5175] of brass[H5178], and set[H7760] it upon the standard[H5251]: and it came to pass[H5175], that if a serpent had bitten[H5391] any man[H376], when he looked[H5027] unto the serpent[H5175] of brass[H5178], he lived[H2425].
10. And the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] journeyed[H5265], and encamped[H2583] in Oboth[H88].
11. And they journeyed[H5265] from Oboth[H88], and encamped[H2583] at Iyeabarim[H5863], in the wilderness[H4057] which is before[H6440] Moab[H4124], toward the sunrising[H4217].
12. From thence they journeyed[H5265], and encamped[H2583] in the valley[H5158] of Zered[H2218].
13. From thence they journeyed[H5265], and encamped[H2583] on the other side[H5676] of the Arnon[H769], which is in the wilderness[H4057], that cometh out[H3318] of the border[H1366] of the Amorites[H567]: for the Arnon[H769] is the border[H1366] of Moab[H4124], between Moab[H4124] and the Amorites[H567].
14. Wherefore it is said[H559] in the book[H5612] of the Wars[H4421] of Jehovah[H3068], Vaheb[H2052] in Suphah[H5492], And the valleys[H5158] of the Arnon[H769],
15. And the slope[H793] of the valleys[H5158] That inclineth[H5186] toward the dwelling[H3427] of Ar[H6144], And leaneth[H8172] upon the border[H1366] of Moab[H4124].
16. And from thence they journeyed to Beer[H876]: that is the well[H875] whereof Jehovah[H3068] said[H559] unto Moses[H4872], Gather[H622] the people[H5971] together[H622], and I will give[H5414] them water[H4325].
17. Then sang[H7891] Israel[H3478] this song[H7892]: Spring up[H5927], O well[H875]; sing ye unto it[H6030]:
18. The well[H875], which the princes[H8269] digged[H2658], Which the nobles[H5081] of the people[H5971] delved[H3738], With the sceptre[H2710], and with their staves[H4938]. And from the wilderness[H4057] they journeyed to Mattanah[H4980];
19. and from Mattanah[H4980] to Nahaliel[H5160]; and from Nahaliel[H5160] to Bamoth[H1120];
20. and from Bamoth[H1120] to the valley[H1516] that is in the field[H7704] of Moab[H4124], to the top[H7218] of Pisgah[H6449], which looketh[H8259] down[H6440] upon the desert[H3452].
21. And Israel[H3478] sent[H7971] messengers[H4397] unto Sihon[H5511] king[H4428] of the Amorites[H567], saying[H559],
22. Let me pass[H5674] through thy land[H776]: we will not turn[H5186] aside into field[H7704], or into vineyard[H3754]; we will not drink[H8354] of the water[H4325] of the wells[H875]: we will go[H3212] by the king[H4428]'s highway[H1870], until we have passed[H5674] thy border[H1366].
23. And Sihon[H5511] would not suffer[H5414] Israel[H3478] to pass[H5674] through his border[H1366]: but Sihon[H5511] gathered[H622] all his people[H5971] together[H622], and went out[H3318] against[H7125] Israel[H3478] into the wilderness[H4057], and came[H935] to Jahaz[H3096]; and he fought[H3898] against Israel[H3478].
24. And Israel[H3478] smote[H5221] him with the edge[H6310] of the sword[H2719], and possessed[H3423] his land[H776] from the Arnon[H769] unto the Jabbok[H2999], even unto the children[H1121] of Ammon[H5983]; for the border[H1366] of the children[H1121] of Ammon[H5983] was strong[H5794].
25. And Israel[H3478] took[H3947] all these cities[H5892]: and Israel[H3478] dwelt[H3427] in all the cities[H5892] of the Amorites[H567], in Heshbon[H2809], and in all the towns thereof[H1323].
26. For Heshbon[H2809] was the city[H5892] of Sihon[H5511] the king[H4428] of the Amorites[H567], who had fought[H3898] against the former[H7223] king[H4428] of Moab[H4124], and taken[H3947] all his land[H776] out of his hand[H3027], even unto the Arnon[H769].
27. Wherefore they that speak in proverbs[H4911] say[H559], Come[H935] ye to Heshbon[H2809]; Let the city[H5892] of Sihon[H5511] be built[H1129] and established[H3559]:
28. For a fire[H784] is gone out[H3318] of Heshbon[H2809], A flame[H3852] from the city[H7151] of Sihon[H5511]: It hath devoured[H398] Ar[H6144] of Moab[H4124], The lords of the high places[H1181] of the Arnon[H769].
29. Woe[H188] to thee[H4124], Moab! Thou art undone[H6], O people[H5971] of Chemosh[H3645]: He hath given[H5414] his sons[H1121] as fugitives[H6412], And his daughters[H1323] into captivity[H7622], Unto Sihon[H5511] king[H4428] of the Amorites[H567].
30. We have shot[H3384] at them[H2809]; Heshbon is perished[H6] even unto Dibon[H1769], And we have laid waste[H8074] even unto Nophah[H5302], Which reacheth unto Medeba[H4311].
31. Thus Israel[H3478] dwelt[H3427] in the land[H776] of the Amorites[H567].
32. And Moses[H4872] sent[H7971] to spy out[H7270] Jazer[H3270]; and they took[H3920] the towns[H1323] thereof[H3423], and drove out the Amorites that were there[H567].
33. And they turned[H6437] and went up[H5927] by the way[H1870] of Bashan[H1316]: and Og[H5747] the king[H4428] of Bashan[H1316] went out[H3318] against[H7125] them[H5971], he and all his people, to battle[H4421] at Edrei[H154].
34. And Jehovah[H3068] said[H559] unto Moses[H4872], Fear[H3372] him not[H5414]: for I have delivered him into thy hand[H3027], and all his people[H5971], and his land[H776]; and thou shalt do[H6213] to him as thou didst[H6213] unto Sihon[H5511] king[H4428] of the Amorites[H567], who dwelt[H3427] at Heshbon[H2809].
35. So they smote[H5221] him[H1121], and his sons and all his people[H5971], until there was none[H1115] left[H7604] him remaining[H8300]: and they possessed[H3423] his land[H776].
