Numbers 21

1 Israel with some loss destroy the Canaanites at Hormah. 4 The people murmuring are plagued with fiery serpents. 7 They repenting are healed by a brasen serpent. 10 Sundry journeys of the Israelites. 21 Sihon is overcome, 33 and Og.

 21:1 When the Canaanite 3669a, the king 4428 of Arad 6166a, who lived 3427 in the Negev 5045, heard 8085 that Israel 3478 was coming 935 by the way 1870 of Atharim 871, then he fought 3898a against Israel 3478 and took 7617 some 4480 of them captive 7628b.

 21:2 So Israel 3478 made 5087 a vow 5088 to the LORD 3068 and said 559, “If 518 You will indeed 5414 deliver 5414 this 2088 people 5971a into my hand 3027, then I will utterly 2763a destroy 2763a their cities 5892b.”

 21:3 The LORD 3068 heard 8085 the voice 6963 of Israel 3478 and delivered 5414 up the Canaanites 3669a; then they utterly 2763a destroyed 2763a them and their cities 5892b. Thus the name 8034 of the place 4725 was called 7121 Hormah 2767.

 21:4 ¶ Then they set 5265 out from Mount 2022 Hor 2023 by the way 1870 of the Red 5488 3220 Sea 3220, to go 5437 around 5437 the land 776 of Edom 112b; and the people 5315 5971a became 7114a impatient 7114a because of the journey 1870.

 21:5 The people 5971a spoke 1696 against God 430 and Moses 4872, “Why 4100 have you brought 5927 us up out of Egypt 4714 to die 4191 in the wilderness 4057b? For there 369 is no 369 food 3899 and no 369 water 4325, and we loathe 6973 this miserable 7052 food 3899.”

 21:6 The LORD 3068 sent 7971 fiery 8314a serpents 8314a among the people 5971a and they bit 5391a the people 5971a, so that many 7227a people 5971a of Israel 3478 died 4191.

 21:7 So the people 5971a came 935 to Moses 4872 and said 559, “We have sinned 2398, because 3588 we have spoken 1696 against the LORD 3068 and you; intercede 6419 with the LORD 3068, that He may remove 5493 the serpents 5175 from us.” And Moses 4872 interceded 6419 for the people 5971a.

 21:8 Then the LORD 3068 said 559 to Moses 4872, “Make 6213a a fiery 8314a [serpent], and set 7760 it on a standard 5251; and it shall come 1961 about, that everyone 3605 who is bitten 5391a, when he looks 7200 at it, he will live 2421a.”

 21:9 And Moses 4872 made 6213a a bronze 5178 serpent 5175 and set 7760 it on the standard 5251; and it came 1961 about, that if 518 a serpent 5175 bit 5391a any 376 man 376, when he looked 5027 to the bronze 5178 serpent 5175, he lived 2421a.

 21:10 ¶ Now the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 moved 5265 out and camped 2583 in Oboth 88.

 21:11 They journeyed 5265 from Oboth 88 and camped 2583 at Iye-abarim 5863, in the wilderness 4057b which 834 is opposite 5921 6440 Moab 4124, to the east 4217 8121.

 21:12 From there 8033 they set 5265 out and camped 2583 in Wadi 5158a Zered 2218.

 21:13 From there 8033 they journeyed 5265 and camped 2583 on the other 5676 side 5676 of the Arnon 769, which 834 is in the wilderness 4057b that comes 3318 out of the border 1366 of the Amorites 567, for the Arnon 769 is the border 1366 of Moab 4124, between 996 Moab 4124 and the Amorites 567.

 21:14 Therefore 5921 3651 it is said 559 in the Book 5612 of the Wars 4421 of the LORD 3068, “Waheb 2052 in Suphah 5492b, And the wadis 5158a of the Arnon 769,

 21:15 And the slope 793 of the wadis 5158a That extends 5186 to the site 7675 of Ar 6144, And leans 8172 to the border 1366 of Moab 4124.”

 21:16 ¶ From there 8033 [they continued] to Beer 876, that is the well 875 where 834 the LORD 3068 said 559 to Moses 4872, “Assemble 622 the people 5971a, that I may give 5414 them water 4325.”

 21:17 ¶ Then 227 Israel 3478 sang 7891 this 2088 song 7892b: “Spring 5927 up, O well 875! Sing 6031b to it!

 21:18 “The well 875, which the leaders 8269 sank 2658, Which the nobles 5081 of the people 5971a dug 3738a, With the scepter 2710 [and] with their staffs 4938b.” And from the wilderness 4057b [they continued] to Mattanah 4980,

 21:19 and from Mattanah 4980 to Nahaliel 5160, and from Nahaliel 5160 to Bamoth 1120,

 21:20 and from Bamoth 1120 to the valley 1516 that is in the land 7704 of Moab 4124, at the top 7218 of Pisgah 6449 which overlooks 5921 6440 8259 the wasteland 3452.

 21:21 ¶ Then Israel 3478 sent 7971 messengers 4397 to Sihon 5511, king 4428 of the Amorites 567, saying 559,

 21:22 “Let me pass 5674a through 5674a your land 776. We will not turn 5186 off into field 7704 or vineyard 3754; we will not drink 8354 water 4325 from wells 875. We will go 1980 by the king’s 4428 highway 1870 until 5704 834 we have passed 5674a through 5674a your border 1366.”

 21:23 But Sihon 5511 would not permit 5414 Israel 3478 to pass 5674a through 5674a his border 1366. So Sihon 5511 gathered 622 all 3605 his people 5971a and went 3318 out against 7122 Israel 3478 in the wilderness 4057b, and came 935 to Jahaz 3096 and fought 3898a against Israel 3478.

 21:24 Then Israel 3478 struck 5221 him with the edge 6310 of the sword 2719, and took 3423 possession 3423 of his land 776 from the Arnon 769 to the Jabbok 2999, as far 5704 as the sons 1121 of Ammon 5983; for the border 1366 of the sons 1121 of Ammon 5983 [was] Jazer 3270.

 21:25 Israel 3478 took 3947 all 3605 these 428 cities 5892b and Israel 3478 lived 3427 in all 3605 the cities 5892b of the Amorites 567, in Heshbon 2809, and in all 3605 her villages 1323.

 21:26 For Heshbon 2809 was the city 5892b of Sihon 5511, king 4428 of the Amorites 567, who 1931 had fought 3898a against the former 7223 king 4428 of Moab 4124 and had taken 3947 all 3605 his land 776 out of his hand 3027, as far 5704 as the Arnon 769.

 21:27 Therefore 5921 3651 those who use 4911b proverbs 4911b say 559, “Come 935 to Heshbon 2809! Let it be built 1129! So let the city 5892b of Sihon 5511 be established 3559.

 21:28 “For a fire 784 went 3318 forth 3318 from Heshbon 2809, A flame 3852 from the town 7151 of Sihon 5511; It devoured 398 Ar 6144 of Moab 4124, The dominant 1167 heights 1181 of the Arnon 769.

 21:29 “Woe 188 to you, O Moab 4124! You are ruined 6, O people 5971a of Chemosh 3645! He has given 5414 his sons 1121 as fugitives 6412b, And his daughters 1323 into captivity 7622, To an Amorite 567 king 4428, Sihon 5511.

 21:30 “But we have cast 3384 them down 3384, Heshbon 2809 is ruined 6 as far 5704 as Dibon 1769, Then we have laid 8074 waste 8074 even 5704 to Nophah 5302, Which 834 [reaches] to Medeba 4311.”

 21:31 ¶ Thus Israel 3478 lived 3427 in the land 776 of the Amorites 567.

 21:32 Moses 4872 sent 7971 to spy 7270 out Jazer 3270, and they captured 3920 its villages 1323 and dispossessed 3423 the Amorites 567 who 834 [were] there 8033.

 21:33 ¶ Then they turned 6437 and went 5927 up by the way 1870 of Bashan 1316, and Og 5747 the king 4428 of Bashan 1316 went 3318 out with all 3605 his people 5971a, for battle 4421 at Edrei 154.

 21:34 But the LORD 3068 said 559 to Moses 4872, “Do not fear 3372a him, for I have given 5414 him into your hand 3027, and all 3605 his people 5971a and his land 776; and you shall do 6213a to him as you did 6213a to Sihon 5511, king 4428 of the Amorites 567, who 834 lived 3427 at Heshbon 2809.”

 21:35 So they killed 5221 him and his sons 1121 and all 3605 his people 5971a, until 5704 there was no 1115 remnant 8300 left 7604 him; and they possessed 3423 his land 776.
