04_NUM_21_01 And [ 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 .
04_NUM_21_02 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 .
04_NUM_21_03 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 .
04_NUM_21_04 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 .
04_NUM_21_05 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 .
04_NUM_21_06 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people , And they bit the people ; And much people of Israel died .
04_NUM_21_07 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 .
04_NUM_21_08 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 .
04_NUM_21_09 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 .
04_NUM_21_10 And the children of Israel set forward , And pitched in Oboth .
04_NUM_21_11 And they journeyed from Oboth , And pitched at Ijeabarim , in the wilderness which [ Is ] before Moab , toward the sunrising .
04_NUM_21_12 from thence they removed , And pitched in the valley of Zared .
04_NUM_21_13 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 .
04_NUM_21_14 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 ,
04_NUM_21_15 And at the stream of the brooks that goeth down to the dwelling of Ar , And lieth upon the border of Moab .
04_NUM_21_16 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 .
04_NUM_21_17 Then Israel sang this song , spring up , O Well ; sing ye unto it :
04_NUM_21_18 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 :
04_NUM_21_19 And from Mattanah to Nahaliel : And from Nahaliel to Bamoth :
04_NUM_21_20 And from Bamoth [ in ] the valley that [ Is ] in the country of Moab , to the top of Pisgah , which looketh toward Jeshimon .
04_NUM_21_21 And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites , saying ,
04_NUM_21_22 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 .
04_NUM_21_23 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 .
04_NUM_21_24 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 .
04_NUM_21_25 And Israel took all These cities : And Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites , in Heshbon , And in all the villages thereof .
04_NUM_21_26 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 .
04_NUM_21_27 Wherefore they that speak in proverbs say , come into Heshbon , let the city of Sihon be built And prepared :
04_NUM_21_28 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 .
04_NUM_21_29 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 .
04_NUM_21_30 we have shot at them ; Heshbon Is perished even unto Dibon , And we have laid them waste even unto Nophah , which [ reacheth ] unto Medeba .
04_NUM_21_31 thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites .
04_NUM_21_32 And Moses sent to spy out Jaazer , And they took the villages thereof , And drove out the Amorites that [ were ] there .
04_NUM_21_33 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 .
04_NUM_21_34 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 .
04_NUM_21_35 So they smote him , And his sons , And all his people , until there was none left him alive : And they possessed his land .
