Numbers 21:1-15

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}
