Numbers 21:2-35

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>_.
