1 When the Canaanite, the king of Arad, who lived in the 21:1 I.e., South countryNegev, heard that Israel was coming by the way of Atharim, he fought against Israel and took some of them captive. 2 So Israel made a vow to the Lord and said, "If You will indeed hand over this people to me, then I will 21:2 Lit devote to destructionutterly destroy their cities." 3 The Lord heard the voice of Israel and turned over the Canaanites; then they 21:3 Lit devoted to destructionutterly destroyed them and their cities. And the place was named 21:3 I.e., a devoted thing; or DestructionHormah.
4 Then they set out from Mount Horby the way of the 21:4 Lit Sea of ReedsRed Sea, to go around the land of Edom; and the 21:4 Lit soul of the people was shortpeople became impatient because of the journey. 5 So the people spoke against God and Moses: "Why have you brought us up from Egyptto die in the wilderness? For there is no 21:5 Lit breadfood and no water, and 21:5 Lit our soul is disgustedwe are disgusted with 21:5 I.e., the mannathis miserable food."
The Bronze Serpent
6 Then the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people and they bit the people, so that many people of Israeldied. 7 So the people came to Mosesand said, "We have sinned, because we have spoken against the Lord and against you; intercede with the Lord, that He will remove the serpents from us." And Mosesinterceded for the people. 8 Then the Lord said to Moses, "21:8 Lit Make for yourselfMake a fiery serpent, and put it on a flag pole; and it shall come about, that everyone who is bitten, and looks at it, will live." 9 So Mosesmade a bronze serpent and put it on the flag pole; and it came about, that if a serpent bit someone, and he looked at the bronze serpent, he lived.
10 Now the sons of Israelmoved out and camped in Oboth. 11 Then they journeyed from Obothand camped at Iye-abarim, in the wilderness which is opposite Moab, to the 21:11 Lit sunriseeast. 12 From there they set out and camped in 21:12 I.e., a dry stream bed, except in the rainy seasonWadi Zered. 13 From there they journeyed and camped on the other side of the Arnon, which is in the wilderness that comes out of the border of the Amorites; for the Arnonis the border of Moab, between Moaband the Amorites. 14 For that reason it is said in the Book of the Wars of the Lord,
"Wahebin Suphah,
And the 21:14 I.e., dry stream bedswadis of the Arnon,
15 And the slope of the wadis
That extends to the site of Ar,
And leans to the border of Moab."
16 From there they continued to 21:16 I.e., a wellBeer, that is the well where the Lord said to Moses, "Assemble the people, that I may give them water."
17 Then Israel sang this song:
"Spring up, O well! Sing to it!
18 "The well, which the leaders dug,
Which the nobles of the people hollowed out,
With the scepter and with their staffs."
And from the wilderness they continued to Mattanah, 19 and from Mattanahto Nahaliel, and from Nahalielto Bamoth, 20 and from Bamothto the valley that is in the land of Moab, at the top of Pisgah, which overlooks the 21:20 Or Jeshimondesert.
Two Victories
21 Then Israel sent messengers to Sihon, king of the Amorites, saying, 22 "Let me pass through your land. We will not turn off into field or vineyard; we will not drink water from wells. We will go by the king’s road until we have passed through your border." 23 But Sihonwould not permit Israel to pass through his border. Instead, Sihongathered all his people and went out against Israel in the wilderness, and came to Jahazand fought against Israel. 24 Then Israel struck him with the edge of the sword, and took possession of his land from the Arnonto the Jabbok, as far as the sons of Ammon; for the border of the sons of Ammonwas21:24 So LXX; MT strongJazer. 25 Israel took all these cities, and Israel lived in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbonand in all her 21:25 Lit daughtersvillages. 26 For Heshbonwas the city of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moaband had taken all his land out of his hand, as far as the Arnon. 27 For that reason those who use proverbs say,
"Come to Heshbon! Let it be built!
So let the city of Sihonbe established.
28 "For a fire spread from Heshbon,
A flame from the town of Sihon;
It devoured Arof Moab,
The 21:28 Lit lords of thedominant 21:28 Or Bamothheights of the Arnon.
29 "Woe to you, Moab!
You are destroyed, people of Chemosh!
He has given his sons as fugitives,
And his daughters into captivity,
To an Amorite king, Sihon.
30 "But we have shot them down with arrows,
Heshbonis destroyed as far as Dibon,
Then we have laid waste as far as Nophah,
Which reaches to Medeba."
31 So Israel lived in the land of the Amorites. 32 Now Mosessent men to spy out Jazer, and they captured its villages and dispossessed the Amorites who were there.
33 Then they turned and went up by the way of Bashan, and Ogthe king of Bashanwent out against them 21:33 Lit he andwith all his people, for battle at Edrei. 34 But the Lord said to Moses, "Do not fear him, for I have handed him over to you, and all his people and his land; and you shall do to him as you did to Sihon, king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon." 35 So they 21:35 Lit struckkilled him and his sons and all his people, until there was no survivor left; and they took possession of his land.
