Book 04 Numbers Chapter 021

 

021:001And when king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south,
heard tell that Israel came by the way of the spies; then he
fought against Israel, and took some of them prisoners.

 

021:002And 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.

 

021:003And 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.

 

021:004And 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.

 

021:005And 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.

 

021:006And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they
bit the people; and much people of Israel died.

 

021:007Therefore 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.

 

021:008And 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.

 

021:009And 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.

 

021:010And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in Oboth.

 

021:011And they journeyed from Oboth, and pitched at Ijeabarim, in
the wilderness which is before Moab, toward the sunrising.

 

021:012From thence they removed, and pitched in the valley of Zared.

 

021:013From 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.

 

021:014Wherefore 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,

 

021:015And at the stream of the brooks that goeth down to the
dwelling of Ar, and lieth upon the border of Moab.

 

021:016And 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.

 

021:017Then Israel sang this song, Spring up, O well; sing ye unto
it:

 

021:018The 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:

 

021:019And from Mattanah to Nahaliel: and from Nahaliel to Bamoth:

 

021:020And from Bamoth in the valley, that is in the country of Moab,
to the top of Pisgah, which looketh toward Jeshimon.

 

021:021And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites,
saying,

 

021:022Let 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.

 

021:023And 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.

 

021:024And 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.

 

021:025And Israel took all these cities: and Israel dwelt in all the
cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all the villages
thereof.

 

021:026For 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.

 

021:027Wherefore they that speak in proverbs say, Come into Heshbon,
let the city of Sihon be built and prepared:

 

021:028For 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.

 

021:029Woe 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.

 

021:030We have shot at them; Heshbon is perished even unto Dibon, and
we have laid them waste even unto Nophah, which reacheth unto
Medeba.

 

021:031Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites.

 

021:032And Moses sent to spy out Jaazer, and they took the villages
thereof, and drove out the Amorites that were there.

 

021:033And 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.

 

021:034And 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.

 

021:035So they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, until
there was none left him alive: and they possessed his land.
