Berean Standard Bible
And
the Canaanite --
king Arad --
dwelling
in the south
, heareth
that Israel hath
come
the
way
of
the Atharim, and
he fighteth
against
Israel ,
and taketh
`
some '
of
them
captive
.
When
the Canaanite king of
Arad ,
who
lived
in the Negev
, heard
that Israel was
coming
along
the road
to
Atharim, he attacked
Israel and captured
some prisoners
.
And
Israel voweth
a vow to Jehovah,
and
saith,
`
If Thou
dost
certainly
give
this people into my
hand
, then
I
have
devoted
their cities ;'
So
Israel made
a vow to the
LORD:
“
If You
will
deliver
this people into our
hands
, we
will
devote
their cities to
destruction.”
and Jehovah
hearkeneth
to
the voice
of
Israel,
and giveth
up the Canaanite,
and
he
devoteth
them and their cities ,
and
calleth
the
name
of
the place Hormah.
And the LORD
heard
Israel’s
plea
and delivered
up the Canaanites.
Israel
devoted
them and their cities to
destruction;
so
they
named
the place Hormah.
And
they journey
from mount Hor ,
the way
of
the Red Sea, to compass
the land of Edom ,
and
the
soul
of
the people is
short
in
the way,
Then
they set
out
from Mount Hor along
the route
to
the Red Sea, in
order
to bypass
the land of Edom .
But
the people grew
impatient
on
the journey
and the
people
speak
against God ,
and against Moses ,
`
Why hast
thou
brought
us up out of Egypt to die in a
wilderness? for
there is no bread ,
and
there
is
no
water, and our
soul
hath
been
weary
of
this light
bread.'
and spoke
against God and against Moses :
“
Why have
you
led
us up out of Egypt to die in the
wilderness? There is no bread or
water, and we
detest
this wretched
food!”
And
Jehovah
sendeth
among the people the
burning
serpents
, and they
bite
the people,
and much
people
of
Israel
die;
So
the
LORD
sent
venomous
snakes
among the people, and many
of
the Israelites
were
bitten
and died.
and
the people come
in
unto
Moses and say
, `
We have sinned ,
for
we
have
spoken
against Jehovah,
and against thee;
pray
unto
Jehovah,
and
He doth
turn
aside
from us the
serpent;'
and
Moses prayeth
in
behalf
of
the people.
Then
the people came
to
Moses and said
, “
We have sinned by
speaking
against the
LORD
and against you.
Intercede
with
the
LORD
so
He will
take
the
snakes
away
from us .”
So
Moses interceded
for
the people.
And
Jehovah
saith
unto
Moses, `
Make for
thee
a burning
`
serpent ',
and set
it on an
ensign;
and
it
hath
been,
every
one
who is bitten and
hath
seen
it --
he hath
lived
.
Then
the
LORD
said
to
Moses, “
Make a fiery
serpent and mount
it on a
pole.
When
anyone
who is bitten looks
at
it ,
he will
live
. ”
And
Moses maketh
a serpent
of
brass,
and setteth
it on the
ensign,
and
it
hath
been,
if the
serpent
hath
bitten any
man,
and
he
hath
looked expectingly
unto
the serpent
of
brass
--
he hath
lived
.
So
Moses made
a bronze
snake
and mounted
it on a
pole.
If anyone
who
was
bitten looked at
the bronze
snake,
he would
live
.
And
the sons
of
Israel
journey,
and encamp
in
Oboth.
Then
the Israelites
set
out
and camped
at
Oboth.
And
they journey
from Oboth ,
and encamp
in
Ije
-Abarim ,
in the wilderness that
`is'
on
the
front
of
Moab ,
at
the
rising
of
the sun
.
They journeyed
from Oboth and camped
at
Iye
-abarim in the wilderness opposite
Moab to
the east
.
From thence
they have
journeyed,
and encamp
in the valley of Zared
.
From there
they set
out
and camped
in the Valley of Zered
.
From thence
they have
journeyed,
and encamp
beyond
Arnon, which
`is'
in the wilderness which
is
coming
out
of
the
border
of
the Amorite ,
for
Arnon `
is '
the border of
Moab,
between Moab
and the Amorite;
From there
they moved
on
and camped
on
the
other
side
of
the
Arnon, in the wilderness that
extends
into
the Amorite territory.
Now
the
Arnon is the border between the
Moabites
and the Amorites.
therefore it is said
in a
book ,
`
The wars of Jehovah,'
--
`
Waheb in Suphah ,
And the brooks
of Arnon ;
Therefore it is stated
in the
Book of
the Wars of the
LORD:
“
Waheb in Suphah and the wadis
of the
Arnon ,
And
the spring
of the brooks,
Which
turned
aside
to the dwelling
of Ar ,
And hath
leaned
to
the border of Moab. '
even
the slopes
of the wadis
that
extend
to the site
of Ar and lie
along
the border of Moab. ”
And
from thence
`
they journeyed'
to Beer ;
it
`is'
the well `concerning'
which
Jehovah
said to Moses, `
Gather the people ,
and
I give to
them --
water. '
From there
they went
on
to Beer ,
the well where
the
LORD
said to Moses, “
Gather the people so
that
I may
give them water. ”
Then singeth
Israel this song, concerning
the
well --
they
have
answered
to it :
Then Israel sang
this song :
“Spring
up
, O
well ,
all
of
you
sing
to it !
`A
well
--
digged
it
have
princes ,
Prepared
it
have
nobles of the people ,
With the
lawgiver,
with their staves
. '
And
from the wilderness `they
journeyed'
to Mattanah,
The
princes dug
the
well;
the
nobles of the people hollowed
it
out
with their
scepters
and
with their staffs
. ”
From the wilderness the
Israelites
went
on
to Mattanah,
and from Mattanah to Nahaliel, and from Nahaliel to Bamoth,
and from Mattanah to Nahaliel, and from Nahaliel to Bamoth,
and from Bamoth in
the valley which
`is'
in the
field
of
Moab `to'
the top of Pisgah ,
which
hath
looked
on
the
front
of
the wilderness
.
and from Bamoth to
the valley in Moab where
the top of Pisgah overlooks
the wasteland
.
And
Israel sendeth
messengers unto
Sihon king of the Amorite
, saying,
Then
Israel sent
messengers to
Sihon king of the Amorites
, saying,
`
Let me
pass through thy
land ,
we do
not turn
aside
into
a
field ,
or into
a
vineyard, we
do
not
drink waters
of
a
well ;
in
the
king's
way
we go,
till
that
we pass
over
thy
border
. '
“
Let us
pass through your
land .
We will
not cut
through
any
field or vineyard, or
drink water
from
any
well .
We will
stay
on
the
King’s
Highway
until
we have
passed
through
your
territory
. ”
And
Sihon hath
not suffered
Israel to
pass through his border
, and
Sihon
gathereth
all
his people,
and cometh
out to meet
Israel into
the wilderness ,
and
cometh
in
to Jahaz, and
fighteth
against Israel.
But
Sihon would
not let
Israel pass through his territory.
Instead
, he
gathered
his whole
army
and went
out to confront
Israel in
the wilderness .
When
he
came
to Jahaz, he
fought
against Israel.
And Israel smiteth
him by
the
mouth
of
the sword ,
and possesseth
his land from Arnon unto
Jabbok
--
unto
the sons
of
Ammon;
for
the border of the sons
of
Ammon
`is'
strong
.
And Israel put
him to
the sword and took
possession
of
his land ,
from the
Arnon to
the Jabbok—but
only
up
to
the border of the Ammonites,
because
it
was
fortified
.
And
Israel taketh
all
these
cities,
and
Israel
dwelleth
in
all the cities of the Amorite
, in
Heshbon ,
and in
all its villages ;
Israel captured
all the cities of the Amorites
and
occupied
them
, including
Heshbon and all its villages .
for
Heshbon is
a
city of Sihon king of the Amorite
, and
he
hath
fought against the former king of Moab ,
and taketh
all his land out
of
his
hand,
unto
Arnon ;
Heshbon was
the
city of Sihon king of the Amorites
, who
had
fought against the former king of Moab and taken
all his land as
far
as
the
Arnon .
therefore
those
using
similes
say --
`Enter
ye
Heshbon, Let the city of Sihon be built
and
ready,
That
is
why
the
poets
say :
“Come
to
Heshbon, let it
be
rebuilt;
let
the city of Sihon be restored.
For fire hath
gone
out from Heshbon, A flame
from the city of Sihon ,
It hath
consumed Ar of Moab, Owners
of
the high
places
of Arnon
.
For a
fire went
out from Heshbon, a blaze
from the city of Sihon .
It consumed Ar of Moab, the rulers
of Arnon’s
heights
.
Wo
to thee
, O Moab ,
Thou
hast
perished
, O people of Chemosh ,
He hath
given
his sons who
escape
--
Also
his daughters --
Into captivity ,
to a
king of the Amorite
--
Sihon!
Woe
to you
, O Moab !
You
are
destroyed
, O people of Chemosh !
He gave
up
his sons as
refugees,
and
his daughters into captivity to Sihon
king of the Amorites.
And
we shoot
them ,
Perished
hath
Heshbon unto
Dibon ,
And
we make
desolate
unto
Nophah, Which `is'
unto
Medeba. '
But
we have
overthrown
them ;
Heshbon is
destroyed
as
far
as
Dibon .
We demolished
them
as
far
as
Nophah, which reaches
to
Medeba. ”
And
Israel dwelleth
in the land of the Amorite,
So
Israel lived
in the land of the Amorites.
and
Moses sendeth
to spy
out
Jaazer
, and
they
capture
its villages ,
and dispossess
the Amorite
who `is'
there ,
After
Moses had
sent
spies
to Jazer
, Israel
captured
its villages and drove
out
the Amorites
who were
there .
and
turn
and go
up the way
of
Bashan, and Og king of Bashan cometh
out to meet them ,
he
and
all
his
people,
to
battle ,
`
at '
Edrei.
Then
they
turned
and went
up the road
to
Bashan, and Og king of Bashan and
his
whole
army
came
out to meet them in
battle at Edrei.
And
Jehovah
saith
unto
Moses, `
Fear him not
, for into
thy
hand
I have given
him, and
all his people ,
and his land ,
and
thou
hast
done
to him as thou
hast
done
to Sihon king of the Amorite
, who is
dwelling
in Heshbon. '
But
the
LORD
said
to
Moses, “Do
not
fear him, for I have delivered
him into
your
hand
, along
with
all his people and his land .
Do
to him as you
did
to Sihon king of the Amorites
, who lived
in Heshbon. ”
And
they smite
him
, and
his sons ,
and all
his people
, until he
hath
not
left
to
him
a
remnant ,
and they possess
his land.
So
they struck
down
Og
, along
with
his sons and his whole
army
, until no
remnant was
left.
And they took
possession
of
his land.
