021:001

And Israel vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou wilt indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities

021:002

And the LORD hearkened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities: and he called the name of the place Hormah

021:003

And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way

021:004

And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, neither is there any water; and our soul loatheth this light bread

021:005

And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died

021:006

Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD, and against thee; pray unto the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people

021:007

And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live

021:008

And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived

021:009

And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in Oboth

021:010

And they journeyed from Oboth, and pitched at Ijeabarim, in the wilderness which is before Moab, toward the sunrising

021:011

From thence they removed, and pitched in the valley of Zared

021:012

From thence they removed, and pitched on the other side of Arnon, which is in the wilderness that cometh out of the coasts of the Amorites: for Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites

021:013

Wherefore it is said in the book of the wars of the LORD, What he did in the Red sea, and in the brooks of Arnon

021:014

And at the stream of the brooks that goeth down to the dwelling of Ar, and lieth upon the border of Moab

021:015

And from thence they went to Beer: that is the well whereof the LORD spake unto Moses, Gather the people together, and I will give them water

021:016

Then Israel sang this song, Spring up, O well; sing ye unto it

021:017

The princes digged the well, the nobles of the people digged it, by the direction of the lawgiver, with their staves. And from the wilderness they went to Mattanah

021:018

And from Mattanah to Nahaliel: and from Nahaliel to Bamoth

021:019

And from Bamoth in the valley, that is in the country of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looketh toward Jeshimon

021:020

And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, saying

021:021

Let me pass through thy land: we will not turn into the fields, or into the vineyards; we will not drink of the waters of the well: but we will go along by the king's high way, until we be past thy borders

021:022

And Sihon would not suffer Israel to pass through his border: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and went out against Israel into the wilderness: and he came to Jahaz, and fought against Israel

021:023

And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land from Arnon unto Jabbok, even unto the children of Ammon: for the border of the children of Ammon was strong

021:024

And Israel took all these cities: and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all the villages thereof

021:025

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, even unto Arnon

021:026

Wherefore they that speak in proverbs say, Come into Heshbon, let the city of Sihon be built and prepared

021:027

For there is a fire gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon: it hath consumed Ar of Moab, and the lords of the high places of Arnon

021:028

Woe to thee, Moab! thou art undone, O people of Chemosh: he hath given his sons that escaped, and his daughters, into captivity unto Sihon king of the Amorites

021:029

We have shot at them; Heshbon is perished even unto Dibon, and we have laid them waste even unto Nophah, which reacheth unto Medeba

021:030

Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites

021:031

And Moses sent to spy out Jaazer, and they took the villages thereof, and drove out the Amorites that were there

021:032

And they turned and went up by the way of Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan went out against them, he, and all his people, to the battle at Edrei

021:033

And the LORD said unto Moses, Fear him not: for I have delivered him into thy hand, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do to him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon

021:034

So they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, until there was none left him alive: and they possessed his land
