American Standard Version - King James Version

 2:1 ¶ Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea, as Jehovah spake unto me; and we compassed mount Seir many days.

 2:1 ¶ Then we turned,ºº and took our journeyºº into the wildernessº by the wayº of the Redº sea,º asº the LORDº spakeºº untoº me: and we compassedººº mountº Seirº manyº days.º

 2:2 And Jehovah spake unto me, saying,

 2:2 And the LORDº spakeºº untoº me, saying,ºº

 2:3 Ye have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you northward.

 2:3 Ye have compassedººº thisº mountainº long enough:º turnºº you northward.º

 2:4 And command thou the people, saying, Ye are to pass through the border of your brethren the children of Esau, that dwell in Seir; and they will be afraid of you: take ye good heed unto yourselves therefore;

 2:4 And commandºº thou the people,º saying,ºº Yeº [are] to passºº throughº the coastº of your brethrenº the childrenº of Esau,º which dwellºº in Seir;º and they shall be afraidºº ofº you: take ye goodº heedºº unto yourselves therefore:ºº

 2:5 contend not with them; for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as for the sole of the foot to tread on; because I have given mount Seir unto Esau for a possession.

 2:5 Meddleºº notº with them; forº I will notº giveºº you of their land,ºº no, not so muchº as a footº breadth;ººº becauseº I have givenººº mountº Seirº unto Esauº [for] a possession.º

 2:6 Ye shall purchase food of them for money, that ye may eat; and ye shall also buy water of them for money, that ye may drink.

 2:6 Ye shall buyºº meatº ofºº them for money,º that ye may eat;ºº and ye shall alsoº buyºº waterº ofºº them for money,º that ye may drink.ºº

 2:7 For Jehovah thy God hath blessed thee in all the work of thy hand; he hath known thy walking through this great wilderness: these forty years Jehovah thy God hath been with thee; thou hast lacked nothing.

 2:7 Forº the LORDº thy Godº hath blessedºº thee in allº the worksº of thy hand:º he knowethºº thy walkingºº throughºº thisº greatº wilderness:º theseº fortyº yearsº the LORDº thy Godº [hath been] withº thee; thou hast lackedºº nothing.ºº

 2:8 So we passed by from our brethren the children of Esau, that dwell in Seir, from the way of the Arabah from Elath and from Ezion-geber. And we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab.

 2:8 And when we passedºº byº fromºº our brethrenº the childrenº of Esau,º which dweltºº in Seir,º through the wayºº of the plainº from Elath,ºº and from Eziongaber,ºº we turnedºº and passedºº by the wayº of the wildernessº of Moab.º

 2:9 And Jehovah said unto me, Vex not Moab, neither contend with them in battle; for I will not give thee of his land for a possession; because I have given Ar unto the children of Lot for a possession.

 2:9 And the LORDº saidºº untoº me, Distressºº notºº the Moabites,º neitherº contendºº with them in battle:º forº I will notº giveºº thee of their landºº [for] a possession;º becauseº I have givenººº Arº unto the childrenº of Lotº [for] a possession.º

 2:10 (The Emim dwelt therein aforetime, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakim:

 2:10 The Emimsº dweltºº therein in times past,º a peopleº great,º and many,º and tall,ºº as the Anakims;º

 2:11 these also are accounted Rephaim, as the Anakim; but the Moabites call them Emim.

 2:11 Whichº alsoº were accountedºº giants,º as the Anakims;º but the Moabitesº callºº them Emims.º

 2:12 The Horites also dwelt in Seir aforetime, but the children of Esau succeeded them; and they destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their stead; as Israel did unto the land of his possession, which Jehovah gave unto them.)

 2:12 The Horimsº also dweltºº in Seirº beforetime;º but the childrenº of Esauº succeededºº them, when they had destroyedºº them from beforeºº them, and dweltºº in their stead;º asº Israelº didºº unto the landº of his possession,º whichº the LORDº gaveºº unto them.

 2:13 Now rise up, and get you over the brook Zered. And we went over the brook Zered.

 2:13 Nowº rise up,ºº [said I], and get you overººº the brookº Zered.º And we went overººº the brookº Zered.º

 2:14 And the days in which we came from Kadesh-barnea, until we were come over the brook Zered, were thirty and eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were consumed from the midst of the camp, as Jehovah sware unto them.

 2:14 And the spaceº in whichº we cameºº from Kadeshbarnea,ºº untilºº we were come overººº the brookº Zered,º [was] thirtyº and eightº years;º untilº allº the generationº of the menºº of warº were wastedº outºº from amongºº the host,º asº the LORDº swareºº unto them.

 2:15 Moreover the hand of Jehovah was against them, to destroy them from the midst of the camp, until they were consumed.

 2:15 For indeedº the handº of the LORDº wasº against them, to destroyºº them from amongºº the host,º untilº they were consumed.ºº

 2:16 ¶ So it came to pass, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,

 2:16 ¶ So it came to pass,º whenº allº the menºº of warº were consumedºº and deadºº from amongºº the people,º

 2:17 that Jehovah spake unto me, saying,

 2:17 That the LORDº spakeºº untoº me, saying,ºº

 2:18 Thou art this day to pass over Ar, the border of Moab:

 2:18 Thouº art to pass overºº throughº Ar,ºº the coastº of Moab,º this day:º

 2:19 and when thou comest nigh over against the children of Ammon, vex them not, nor contend with them; for I will not give thee of the land of the children of Ammon for a possession; because I have given it unto the children of Lot for a possession.

 2:19 And [when] thou comest nighºº over againstº the childrenº of Ammon,º distressºº them not,º norº meddleºº with them: forº I will notº giveºº thee of the landºº of the childrenº of Ammonº [any] possession;º becauseº I have givenºº it unto the childrenº of Lotº [for] a possession.º

 2:20 (That also is accounted a land of Rephaim: Rephaim dwelt therein aforetime; but the Ammonites call them Zamzummim,

 2:20 (Thatº alsoº was accountedºº a landº of giants:º giantsº dweltºº therein in old time;º and the Ammonitesº callºº them Zamzummims;º

 2:21 a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakim; but Jehovah destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead;

 2:21 A peopleº great,º and many,º and tall,ºº as the Anakims;º but the LORDº destroyedºº them beforeºº them; and they succeededºº them, and dweltºº in their stead:º

 2:22 as he did for the children of Esau, that dwell in Seir, when he destroyed the Horites from before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead even unto this day:

 2:22 Asº he didºº to the childrenº of Esau,º which dweltºº in Seir,º whenº he destroyedººº the Horimsº from beforeºº them; and they succeededºº them, and dweltºº in their steadº even untoº thisº day:º

 2:23 and the Avvim, that dwelt in villages as far as Gaza, the Caphtorim, that came forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and dwelt in their stead.)

 2:23 And the Avimsºº which dweltºº in Hazerim,º [even] untoº Azzah,º the Caphtorims,º which came forthºº out of Caphtor,ºº destroyedºº them, and dweltºº in their stead.)º

 2:24 ¶ Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass over the valley of the Arnon: behold, I have given into thy hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land; begin to possess it, and contend with him in battle.

 2:24 ¶ Rise ye up,ºº take your journey,ºº and pass overººº the riverº Arnon:º behold,ºº I have givenºº into thine handºº Sihonº the Amorite,º kingº of Heshbon,º and his land:º beginºº to possessºº [it], and contendºº with him in battle.º

 2:25 This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the peoples that are under the whole heaven, who shall hear the report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee.

 2:25 Thisº dayº will I beginºº to putºº the dreadº of thee and the fearº of thee uponº the nationsºº [that are] underº the wholeº heaven,º whoº shall hearºº reportº of thee, and shall tremble,ºº and be in anguishºº becauseºº of thee.º

 2:26 ¶ And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,

 2:26 ¶ And I sentºº messengersº out of the wildernessºº of Kedemothº untoº Sihonº kingº of Heshbonº with wordsº of peace,º saying,ºº

 2:27 Let me pass through thy land: I will go along by the highway, I will turn neither unto the right hand nor to the left.

 2:27 Let me passºº through thy land:º I will goººº along by the high way,º I will neitherº turnºº unto the right handº nor to the left.º

 2:28 Thou shalt sell me food for money, that I may eat; and give me water for money, that I may drink: only let me pass through on my feet,

 2:28 Thou shalt sellºº me meatº for money,º that I may eat;ºº and giveºº me waterº for money,º that I may drink:ºº onlyº I will pass throughºº on my feet;º

 2:29 as the children of Esau that dwell in Seir, and the Moabites that dwell in Ar, did unto me; until I shall pass over the Jordan into the land which Jehovah our God giveth us.

 2:29 (Asº the childrenº of Esauº which dwellºº in Seir,º and the Moabitesº which dwellºº in Ar,º didºº unto me;) untilºº I shall pass overººº Jordanº intoº the landº whichº the LORDº our Godº givethºº us.

 2:30 But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him; for Jehovah thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into thy hand, as at this day.

 2:30 But Sihonº kingº of Heshbonº wouldºº notº let us passºº by him: forº the LORDº thy Godº hardenedººº his spirit,º and made his heartº obstinate,ºººº thatº he might deliverºº him into thy hand,º as [appeareth] thisº day.º

 2:31 And Jehovah said unto me, Behold, I have begun to deliver up Sihon and his land before thee: begin to possess, that thou mayest inherit his land.

 2:31 And the LORDº saidºº untoº me, Behold,ºº I have begunºº to giveººº Sihonº and his landº beforeº thee: beginºº to possess,ºº that thou mayest inheritººº his land.º

 2:32 Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, unto battle at Jahaz.

 2:32 Then Sihonº came outºº againstºº us, heº and allº his people,º to fightº at Jahaz.º

 2:33 And Jehovah our God delivered him up before us; and we smote him, and his sons, and all his people.

 2:33 And the LORDº our Godº deliveredºº him beforeº us; and we smoteººº him, and his sons,º and allº his people.º

 2:34 And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed every inhabited city, with the women and the little ones; we left none remaining:

 2:34 And we tookººº allº his citiesº at thatº time,º and utterly destroyedºº the men,º and the women,º and the little ones,ºº of everyº city,º we leftºº noneº to remain:º

 2:35 only the cattle we took for a prey unto ourselves, with the spoil of the cities which we had taken.

 2:35 Onlyº the cattleº we took for a preyºº unto ourselves, and the spoilº of the citiesº whichº we took.ºº

 2:36 From Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and [from] the city that is in the valley, even unto Gilead, there was not a city too high for us; Jehovah our God delivered up all before us:

 2:36 Fromº Aroer,º whichº [is] byº the brinkº of the riverº of Arnon,º and [from] the cityº thatº [is] by the river,º even untoº Gilead,º there wasº notº one cityº too strongºº forº us: the LORDº our Godº deliveredººº allº untoº us:º

 2:37 only to the land of the children of Ammon thou camest not near; all the side of the river Jabbok, and the cities of the hill-country, and wheresoever Jehovah our God forbade us.

 2:37 Onlyº untoº the landº of the childrenº of Ammonº thou camestºº not,º [nor] unto anyº placeº of the riverº Jabbok,º nor unto the citiesº in the mountains,º nor unto whatsoeverº the LORDº our Godº forbadºº us.
