Numbers 20:1--21:35

20:1

Then came
<0935> (8799)

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

[even] the whole congregation
<05712>_,

into the desert
<04057>

of Zin
<06790>

in the first
<07223>

month
<02320>_:

and the people
<05971>

abode
<03427> (8799)

in Kadesh
<06946>_;

and Miriam
<04813>

died
<04191> (8799)

there, and was buried
<06912> (8735)

there.

20:2

And there was no water
<04325>

for the congregation
<05712>_:

and they gathered
<06950> (8735)

themselves together against Moses
<04872>

and against Aaron
<0175>_.

20:3

And the people
<05971>

chode
<07378> (8799)

with Moses
<04872>_,

and spake
<0559> (8799)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Would God that
<03863>

we had died
<01478> (8804)

when our brethren
<0251>

died
<01478> (8800)

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_!

20:4

And why have ye brought up
<0935> (8689)

the congregation
<06951>

of the LORD
<03068>

into this wilderness
<04057>_,

that we and our cattle
<01165>

should die
<04191> (8800)

there?

20:5

And wherefore have ye made us to come up
<05927> (8689)

out of Egypt
<04714>_,

to bring
<0935> (8687)

us in unto this evil
<07451>

place
<04725>_?

it [is] no place
<04725>

of seed
<02233>_,

or of figs
<08384>_,

or of vines
<01612>_,

or of pomegranates
<07416>_;

neither [is] there any water
<04325>

to drink
<08354> (8800)_.

20:6

And Moses
<04872>

and Aaron
<0175>

went
<0935> (8799)

from the presence
<06440>

of the assembly
<06951>

unto the door
<06607>

of the tabernacle
<0168>

of the congregation
<04150>_,

and they fell
<05307> (8799)

upon their faces
<06440>_:

and the glory
<03519>

of the LORD
<03068>

appeared
<07200> (8735)

unto them.

20:7

And the LORD
<03068>

spake
<01696> (8762)

unto Moses
<04872>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

20:8

Take
<03947> (8798)

the rod
<04294>_,

and gather
<06950> (8685)

thou the assembly
<05712>

together, thou, and Aaron
<0175>

thy brother
<0251>_,

and speak
<01696> (8765)

ye unto the rock
<05553>

before their eyes
<05869>_;

and it shall give forth
<05414> (8804)

his water
<04325>_,

and thou shalt bring forth
<03318> (8689)

to them water
<04325>

out of the rock
<05553>_:

so thou shalt give
<08248> (0)

the congregation
<05712>

and their beasts
<01165>

drink
<08248> (8689)_.

20:9

And Moses
<04872>

took
<03947> (8799)

the rod
<04294>

from before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_,

as he commanded
<06680> (8765)

him.

20:10

And Moses
<04872>

and Aaron
<0175>

gathered
<06950> (8686)

the congregation
<06951>

together before
<06440>

the rock
<05553>_,

and he said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Hear
<08085> (8798)

now, ye rebels
<04784> (8802)_;

must we fetch
<03318> (8686)

you water
<04325>

out of this rock
<05553>_?

20:11

And Moses
<04872>

lifted up
<07311> (8686)

his hand
<03027>_,

and with his rod
<04294>

he smote
<05221> (8686)

the rock
<05553>

twice
<06471>_:

and the water
<04325>

came out
<03318> (8799)

abundantly
<07227>_,

and the congregation
<05712>

drank
<08354> (8799)_,

and their beasts
<01165>

[also].

20:12

And the LORD
<03068>

spake
<0559> (8799)

unto Moses
<04872>

and Aaron
<0175>_,

Because ye believed
<0539> (8689)

me not, to sanctify
<06942> (8687)

me in the eyes
<05869>

of the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

therefore ye shall not bring
<0935> (8686)

this congregation
<06951>

into the land
<0776>

which I have given
<05414> (8804)

them.

20:13

This [is]
<01992>

the water
<04325>

of Meribah
<04809>_;

because the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

strove
<07378> (8804)

with the LORD
<03068>_,

and he was sanctified
<06942> (8735)

in them. {Meribah: that is, Strife}

20:14

And Moses
<04872>

sent
<07971> (8799)

messengers
<04397>

from Kadesh
<06946>

unto the king
<04428>

of Edom
<0123>_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

thy brother
<0251>

Israel
<03478>_,

Thou knowest
<03045> (8804)

all the travail
<08513>

that hath befallen
<04672> (8804)

us: {befallen...: Heb. found us}

20:15

How our fathers
<01>

went down
<03381> (8799)

into Egypt
<04714>_,

and we have dwelt
<03427> (8799)

in Egypt
<04714>

a long
<07227>

time
<03117>_;

and the Egyptians
<04714>

vexed
<07489> (8686)

us, and our fathers
<01>_:

20:16

And when we cried
<06817> (8799)

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

he heard
<08085> (8799)

our voice
<06963>_,

and sent
<07971> (8799)

an angel
<04397>_,

and hath brought us forth
<03318> (8686)

out of Egypt
<04714>_:

and, behold, we [are] in Kadesh
<06946>_,

a city
<05892>

in the uttermost
<07097>

of thy border
<01366>_:

20:17

Let us pass
<05674> (8799)_,

I pray thee, through thy country
<0776>_:

we will not pass
<05674> (8799)

through the fields
<07704>_,

or through the vineyards
<03754>_,

neither will we drink
<08354> (8799)

[of] the water
<04325>

of the wells
<0875>_:

we will go
<03212> (8799)

by the king's
<04428>

[high] way
<01870>_,

we will not turn
<05186> (8799)

to the right hand
<03225>

nor to the left
<08040>_,

until we have passed
<05674> (8799)

thy borders
<01366>_.

20:18

And Edom
<0123>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Thou shalt not pass
<05674> (8799)

by me, lest I come out
<03318> (8799)

against
<07125> (8800)

thee with the sword
<02719>_.

20:19

And the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, We will go
<05927> (8799)

by the high way
<04546>_:

and if I and my cattle
<04735>

drink
<08354> (8799)

of thy water
<04325>_,

then I will pay
<05414> (8804) <04377>

for it: I will only, without [doing] any thing
<01697>

[else], go through
<05674> (8799)

on my feet
<07272>_.

20:20

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Thou shalt not go through
<05674> (8799)_.

And Edom
<0123>

came out
<03318> (8799)

against
<07125> (8800)

him with much
<03515>

people
<05971>_,

and with a strong
<02389>

hand
<03027>_.

20:21

Thus Edom
<0123>

refused
<03985> (8762)

to give
<05414> (8800)

Israel
<03478>

passage
<05674> (8800)

through his border
<01366>_:

wherefore Israel
<03478>

turned away
<05186> (8799)

from him.

20:22

And the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

[even] the whole congregation
<05712>_,

journeyed
<05265> (8799)

from Kadesh
<06946>_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

unto mount
<02022>

Hor
<02023>_.

20:23

And the LORD
<03068>

spake
<0559> (8799)

unto Moses
<04872>

and Aaron
<0175>

in mount
<02022>

Hor
<02023>_,

by the coast
<01366>

of the land
<0776>

of Edom
<0123>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

20:24

Aaron
<0175>

shall be gathered
<0622> (8735)

unto his people
<05971>_:

for he shall not enter
<0935> (8799)

into the land
<0776>

which I have given
<05414> (8804)

unto the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

because ye rebelled against
<04784> (8804)

my word
<06310>

at the water
<04325>

of Meribah
<04809>_.

{word: Heb. mouth}

20:25

Take
<03947> (8798)

Aaron
<0175>

and Eleazar
<0499>

his son
<01121>_,

and bring them up
<05927> (8685)

unto mount
<02022>

Hor
<02023>_:

20:26

And strip
<06584> (8685)

Aaron
<0175>

of his garments
<0899>_,

and put
<03847> (8689)

them upon Eleazar
<0499>

his son
<01121>_:

and Aaron
<0175>

shall be gathered
<0622> (8735)

[unto his people], and shall die
<04191> (8804)

there.

20:27

And Moses
<04872>

did
<06213> (8799)

as the LORD
<03068>

commanded
<06680> (8765)_:

and they went up
<05927> (8799)

into mount
<02022>

Hor
<02023>

in the sight
<05869>

of all the congregation
<05712>_.

20:28

And Moses
<04872>

stripped
<06584> (8686)

Aaron
<0175>

of his garments
<0899>_,

and put
<03847> (8686)

them upon Eleazar
<0499>

his son
<01121>_;

and Aaron
<0175>

died
<04191> (8799)

there in the top
<07218>

of the mount
<02022>_:

and Moses
<04872>

and Eleazar
<0499>

came down
<03381> (8799)

from the mount
<02022>_.

20:29

And when all the congregation
<05712>

saw
<07200> (8799)

that Aaron
<0175>

was dead
<01478> (8804)_,

they mourned
<01058> (8799)

for Aaron
<0175>

thirty
<07970>

days
<03117>_,

[even] all the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_.

21:1

And [when] king
<04428>

Arad
<06166>

the Canaanite
<03669>_,

which dwelt
<03427> (8802)

in the south
<05045>_,

heard
<08085> (8799)

tell that Israel
<03478>

came
<0935> (8802)

by the way
<01870>

of the spies
<0871>_;

then he fought
<03898> (8735)

against Israel
<03478>_,

and took
<07617> (8799)

[some] of them prisoners
<07628>_.

21:2

And Israel
<03478>

vowed
<05087> (8799)

a vow
<05088>

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

If thou wilt indeed
<05414> (8800)

deliver
<05414> (8799)

this people
<05971>

into my hand
<03027>_,

then I will utterly destroy
<02763> (8689)

their cities
<05892>_.

21:3

And the LORD
<03068>

hearkened
<08085> (8799)

to the voice
<06963>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and delivered up
<05414> (8799)

the Canaanites
<03669>_;

and they utterly destroyed
<02763> (8686)

them and their cities
<05892>_:

and he called
<07121> (8799)

the name
<08034>

of the place
<04725>

Hormah
<02767>_.

{Hormah: that is, Utter destruction}

21:4

And they journeyed
<05265> (8799)

from mount
<02022>

Hor
<02023>

by the way
<01870>

of the Red
<05488>

sea
<03220>_,

to compass
<05437> (8800)

the land
<0776>

of Edom
<0123>_:

and the soul
<05315>

of the people
<05971>

was much discouraged
<07114> (8799)

because of the way
<01870>_.

{discouraged: or, grieved: Heb. shortened}

21:5

And the people
<05971>

spake
<01696> (8762)

against God
<0430>_,

and against Moses
<04872>_,

Wherefore have ye brought us up
<05927> (8689)

out of Egypt
<04714>

to die
<04191> (8800)

in the wilderness
<04057>_?

for [there is] no bread
<03899>_,

neither [is there any] water
<04325>_;

and our soul
<05315>

loatheth
<06973> (8804)

this light
<07052>

bread
<03899>_.

21:6

And the LORD
<03068>

sent
<07971> (8762)

fiery
<08314>

serpents
<05175>

among the people
<05971>_,

and they bit
<05391> (8762)

the people
<05971>_;

and much
<07227>

people
<05971>

of Israel
<03478>

died
<04191> (8799)_.

21:7

Therefore the people
<05971>

came
<0935> (8799)

to Moses
<04872>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

We have sinned
<02398> (8804)_,

for we have spoken
<01696> (8765)

against the LORD
<03068>_,

and against thee; pray
<06419> (8690)

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

that he take away
<05493> (8686)

the serpents
<05175>

from us. And Moses
<04872>

prayed
<06419> (8691)

for the people
<05971>_.

21:8

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Moses
<04872>_,

Make
<06213> (8798)

thee a fiery serpent
<08314>_,

and set
<07760> (8798)

it upon a pole
<05251>_:

and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten
<05391> (8803)_,

when he looketh
<07200> (8804)

upon it, shall live
<02425> (8804)_.

21:9

And Moses
<04872>

made
<06213> (8799)

a serpent
<05175>

of brass
<05178>_,

and put
<07760> (8799)

it upon a pole
<05251>_,

and it came to pass, that if a serpent
<05175>

had bitten
<05391> (8804)

any man
<0376>_,

when he beheld
<05027> (8689)

the serpent
<05175>

of brass
<05178>_,

he lived
<02425> (8804)_.

21:10

And the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

set forward
<05265> (8799)_,

and pitched
<02583> (8799)

in Oboth
<088>_.

21:11

And they journeyed
<05265> (8799)

from Oboth
<088>_,

and pitched
<02583> (8799)

at Ijeabarim
<05863>_,

in the wilderness
<04057>

which [is] before
<06440>

Moab
<04124>_,

toward the sunrising
<04217> <08121>_.

{Ijeabarim: or, heaps of Abarim}

21:12

From thence they removed
<05265> (8804)_,

and pitched
<02583> (8799)

in the valley
<05158>

of Zared
<02218>_.

21:13

From thence they removed
<05265> (8804)_,

and pitched
<02583> (8799)

on the other side
<05676>

of Arnon
<0769>_,

which [is] in the wilderness
<04057>

that cometh out
<03318> (8802)

of the coasts
<01366>

of the Amorites
<0567>_:

for Arnon
<0769>

[is] the border
<01366>

of Moab
<04124>_,

between Moab
<04124>

and the Amorites
<0567>_.

21:14

Wherefore it is said
<0559> (8735)

in the book
<05612>

of the wars
<04421>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

What he did
<02052>

in the Red sea
<05492>_,

and in the brooks
<05158>

of Arnon
<0769>_,

{What...: or, Vaheb in Suphah}

21:15

And at the stream
<0793>

of the brooks
<05158>

that goeth down
<05186> (8804)

to the dwelling
<03427> (8800)

of Ar
<06144>_,

and lieth
<08172> (8738)

upon the border
<01366>

of Moab
<04124>_.

{lieth: Heb. leaneth}

21:16

And from thence [they went] to Beer
<0876>_:

that [is] the well
<0875>

whereof the LORD
<03068>

spake
<0559> (8804)

unto Moses
<04872>_,

Gather
<0622> (0)

the people
<05971>

together
<0622> (8798)_,

and I will give
<05414> (8799)

them water
<04325>_.

21:17

Then Israel
<03478>

sang
<07891> (8799)

this song
<07892>_,

Spring up
<05927> (8798)_,

O well
<0875>_;

sing
<06030> (8798)

ye unto it: {Spring...: Heb. Ascend} {sing: or, answer}

21:18

The princes
<08269>

digged
<02658> (8804)

the well
<0875>_,

the nobles
<05081>

of the people
<05971>

digged
<03738> (8804)

it, by [the direction of] the lawgiver
<02710> (8781)_,

with their staves
<04938>_.

And from the wilderness
<04057>

[they went] to Mattanah
<04980>_:

21:19

And from Mattanah
<04980>

to Nahaliel
<05160>_:

and from Nahaliel
<05160>

to Bamoth
<01120>_:

21:20

And from Bamoth
<01120>

[in] the valley
<01516>_,

that [is] in the country
<07704>

of Moab
<04124>_,

to the top
<07218>

of Pisgah
<06449>_,

which looketh
<08259> (8738)

toward
<06440>

Jeshimon
<03452>_.

{country: Heb. field} {Pisgah: or, the hill} {Jeshimon: or, the wilderness}

21:21

And Israel
<03478>

sent
<07971> (8799)

messengers
<04397>

unto Sihon
<05511>

king
<04428>

of the Amorites
<0567>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

21:22

Let me pass
<05674> (8799)

through thy land
<0776>_:

we will not turn
<05186> (8799)

into the fields
<07704>_,

or into the vineyards
<03754>_;

we will not drink
<08354> (8799)

[of] the waters
<04325>

of the well
<0875>_:

[but] we will go along
<03212> (8799)

by the king's
<04428>

[high] way
<01870>_,

until we be past
<05674> (8799)

thy borders
<01366>_.

21:23

And Sihon
<05511>

would not suffer
<05414> (8804)

Israel
<03478>

to pass
<05674> (8800)

through his border
<01366>_:

but Sihon
<05511>

gathered
<0622> (0)

all his people
<05971>

together
<0622> (8799)_,

and went out
<03318> (8799)

against
<07125> (8800)

Israel
<03478>

into the wilderness
<04057>_:

and he came
<0935> (8799)

to Jahaz
<03096>_,

and fought
<03898> (8735)

against Israel
<03478>_.

21:24

And Israel
<03478>

smote
<05221> (8686)

him with the edge
<06310>

of the sword
<02719>_,

and possessed
<03423> (8799)

his land
<0776>

from Arnon
<0769>

unto Jabbok
<02999>_,

even unto the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_:

for the border
<01366>

of the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

[was] strong
<05794>_.

21:25

And Israel
<03478>

took
<03947> (8799)

all these cities
<05892>_:

and Israel
<03478>

dwelt
<03427> (8799)

in all the cities
<05892>

of the Amorites
<0567>_,

in Heshbon
<02809>_,

and in all the villages
<01323>

thereof. {villages: Heb. daughters}

21:26

For Heshbon
<02809>

[was] the city
<05892>

of Sihon
<05511>

the king
<04428>

of the Amorites
<0567>_,

who had fought
<03898> (8738)

against the former
<07223>

king
<04428>

of Moab
<04124>_,

and taken
<03947> (8799)

all his land
<0776>

out of his hand
<03027>_,

even unto Arnon
<0769>_.

21:27

Wherefore they that speak in proverbs
<04911> (8802)

say
<0559> (8799)_,

Come
<0935> (8798)

into Heshbon
<02809>_,

let the city
<05892>

of Sihon
<05511>

be built
<01129> (8735)

and prepared
<03559> (8709)_:

21:28

For there is a fire
<0784>

gone out
<03318> (8804)

of Heshbon
<02809>_,

a flame
<03852>

from the city
<07151>

of Sihon
<05511>_:

it hath consumed
<0398> (8804)

Ar
<06144>

of Moab
<04124>_,

[and] the lords of the high places
<01181>

of Arnon
<0769>_.

21:29

Woe
<0188>

to thee, Moab
<04124>_!

thou art undone
<06> (8804)_,

O people
<05971>

of Chemosh
<03645>_:

he hath given
<05414> (8804)

his sons
<01121>

that escaped
<06412>_,

and his daughters
<01323>_,

into captivity
<07622>

unto Sihon
<05511>

king
<04428>

of the Amorites
<0567>_.

21:30

We have shot
<03384> (8799)

at them; Heshbon
<02809>

is perished
<06> (8804)

even unto Dibon
<01769>_,

and we have laid them waste
<08074> (8686)

even unto Nophah
<05302>_,

which [reacheth] unto Medeba
<04311>_.

21:31

Thus Israel
<03478>

dwelt
<03427> (8799)

in the land
<0776>

of the Amorites
<0567>_.

21:32

And Moses
<04872>

sent
<07971> (8799)

to spy out
<07270> (8763)

Jaazer
<03270>_,

and they took
<03920> (8799)

the villages
<01323>

thereof, and drove out
<03423> (8686) (8675) <03423> (8799)

the Amorites
<0567>

that [were] there.

21:33

And they turned
<06437> (8799)

and went up
<05927> (8799)

by the way
<01870>

of Bashan
<01316>_:

and Og
<05747>

the king
<04428>

of Bashan
<01316>

went out
<03318> (8799)

against
<07125> (8800)

them, he, and all his people
<05971>_,

to the battle
<04421>

at Edrei
<0154>_.

21:34

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Moses
<04872>_,

Fear
<03372> (8799)

him not: for I have delivered
<05414> (8804)

him into thy hand
<03027>_,

and all his people
<05971>_,

and his land
<0776>_;

and thou shalt do
<06213> (8804)

to him as thou didst
<06213> (8804)

unto Sihon
<05511>

king
<04428>

of the Amorites
<0567>_,

which dwelt
<03427> (8802)

at Heshbon
<02809>_.

21:35

So they smote
<05221> (8686)

him, and his sons
<01121>_,

and all his people
<05971>_,

until there was none
<01115>

left
<07604> (8689)

him alive
<08300>_:

and they possessed
<03423> (8799)

his land
<0776>_.
