Dual Panel1Then we turned <06437> (8799)_, and took our journey <05265> (8799) into the wilderness <04057> by the way <01870> of the Red <05488> sea <03220>_, as the LORD <03068> spake <01696> (8765) unto me: and we compassed <05437> (8799) mount <02022> Seir <08165> many <07227> days <03117>_.
2And the LORD <03068> spake <0559> (8799) unto me, saying <0559> (8800)_,
3Ye have compassed <05437> (8800) this mountain <02022> long enough <07227>_: turn <06437> (8798) you northward <06828>_.
4And command <06680> (8761) thou the people <05971>_, saying <0559> (8800)_, Ye [are] to pass <05674> (8802) through the coast <01366> of your brethren <0251> the children <01121> of Esau <06215>_, which dwell <03427> (8802) in Seir <08165>_; and they shall be afraid <03372> (8799) of you: take ye good <03966> heed <08104> (8738) unto yourselves therefore:
5Meddle <01624> (8691) not with them; for I will not give <05414> (8799) you of their land <0776>_, no, not so much as a foot <07272> breadth <04096> <03709>_; because I have given <05414> (8804) mount <02022> Seir <08165> unto Esau <06215> [for] a possession <03425>_. {no...: Heb. even to the treading of the sole of the foot}
6Ye shall buy <07666> (8799) meat <0400> of them for money <03701>_, that ye may eat <0398> (8804)_; and ye shall also buy <03739> (8799) water <04325> of them for money <03701>_, that ye may drink <08354> (8804)_.
7For the LORD <03068> thy God <0430> hath blessed <01288> (8765) thee in all the works <04639> of thy hand <03027>_: he knoweth <03045> (8804) thy walking <03212> (8800) through this great <01419> wilderness <04057>_: these forty <0705> years <08141> the LORD <03068> thy God <0430> [hath been] with thee; thou hast lacked <02637> (8804) nothing <01697>_.
8And when we passed <05674> (8799) by from our brethren <0251> the children <01121> of Esau <06215>_, which dwelt <03427> (8802) in Seir <08165>_, through the way <01870> of the plain <06160> from Elath <0359>_, and from Eziongaber <06100>_, we turned <06437> (8799) and passed <05674> (8799) by the way <01870> of the wilderness <04057> of Moab <04124>_.
9And the LORD <03068> said <0559> (8799) unto me, Distress <06696> (8799) not the Moabites <04124>_, neither contend <01624> (8691) with them in battle <04421>_: for I will not give <05414> (8799) thee of their land <0776> [for] a possession <03425>_; because I have given <05414> (8804) Ar <06144> unto the children <01121> of Lot <03876> [for] a possession <03425>_. {Distress...: or, Use no hostility against Moab}
10The Emims <0368> dwelt <03427> (8804) therein in times past <06440>_, a people <05971> great <01419>_, and many <07227>_, and tall <07311> (8802)_, as the Anakims <06062>_;
11Which <01992> also were accounted <02803> (8735) giants <07497>_, as the Anakims <06062>_; but the Moabites <04125> call <07121> (8799) them Emims <0368>_.
12The Horims <02752> also dwelt <03427> (8804) in Seir <08165> beforetime <06440>_; but the children <01121> of Esau <06215> succeeded <03423> (8799) them, when they had destroyed <08045> (8686) them from before <06440> them, and dwelt <03427> (8799) in their stead; as Israel <03478> did <06213> (8804) unto the land <0776> of his possession <03425>_, which the LORD <03068> gave <05414> (8804) unto them. {succeeded: Heb. inherited} {stead: or, room}
13Now rise up <06965> (8798)_, [said I], and get you over <05674> (8798) the brook <05158> Zered <02218>_. And we went over <05674> (8799) the brook <05158> Zered <02218>_. {brook: or, valley}
14And the space <03117> in which we came <01980> (8804) from Kadeshbarnea <06947>_, until we were come over <05674> (8804) the brook <05158> Zered <02218>_, [was] thirty <07970> and eight <08083> years <08141>_; until all the generation <01755> of the men <0582> of war <04421> were wasted out <08552> (8800) from among <07130> the host <04264>_, as the LORD <03068> sware <07650> (8738) unto them. {brook: or, valley}
15For indeed the hand <03027> of the LORD <03068> was against them, to destroy <02000> (8800) them from among <07130> the host <04264>_, until they were consumed <08552> (8800)_.
16So it came to pass, when all the men <0582> of war <04421> were consumed <08552> (8804) and dead <04191> (8800) from among <07130> the people <05971>_,
17That the LORD <03068> spake <01696> (8762) unto me, saying <0559> (8800)_,
18Thou art to pass over <05674> (8802) through Ar <06144>_, the coast <01366> of Moab <04124>_, this day <03117>_:
19And [when] thou comest nigh <07126> (8804) over against <04136> the children <01121> of Ammon <05983>_, distress <06696> (8799) them not, nor meddle <01624> (8691) with them: for I will not give <05414> (8799) thee of the land <0776> of the children <01121> of Ammon <05983> [any] possession <03425>_; because I have given <05414> (8804) it unto the children <01121> of Lot <03876> [for] a possession <03425>_.
20(That also was accounted <02803> (8735) a land <0776> of giants <07497>_: giants <07497> dwelt <03427> (8804) therein in old time <06440>_; and the Ammonites <05984> call <07121> (8799) them Zamzummims <02157>_; {Zamzummims: also called, Zuzims}
21A people <05971> great <01419>_, and many <07227>_, and tall <07311> (8802)_, as the Anakims <06062>_; but the LORD <03068> destroyed <08045> (8686) them before <06440> them; and they succeeded <03423> (8799) them, and dwelt <03427> (8799) in their stead:
22As he did <06213> (8804) to the children <01121> of Esau <06215>_, which dwelt <03427> (8802) in Seir <08165>_, when he destroyed <08045> (8689) the Horims <02752> from before <06440> them; and they succeeded <03423> (8799) them, and dwelt <03427> (8799) in their stead even unto this day <03117>_:
23And the Avims <05761> which dwelt <03427> (8802) in Hazerim <02699>_, [even] unto Azzah <05804>_, the Caphtorims <03732>_, which came forth <03318> (8802) out of Caphtor <03731>_, destroyed <08045> (8689) them, and dwelt <03427> (8799) in their stead.)
24Rise ye up <06965> (8798)_, take your journey <05265> (8798)_, and pass over <05674> (8798) the river <05158> Arnon <0769>_: behold <07200> (8798)_, I have given <05414> (8804) into thine hand <03027> Sihon <05511> the Amorite <0567>_, king <04428> of Heshbon <02809>_, and his land <0776>_: begin <02490> (8685) to possess <03423> (8798) [it], and contend <01624> (8690) with him in battle <04421>_. {begin...: Heb. begin, possess}
25This day <03117> will I begin <02490> (8686) to put <05414> (8800) the dread <06343> of thee and the fear <03374> of thee upon the nations <06440> <05971> [that are] under the whole heaven <08064>_, who shall hear <08085> (8799) report <08088> of thee, and shall tremble <07264> (8804)_, and be in anguish <02342> (8804) because of thee <06440>_.
26And I sent <07971> (8799) messengers <04397> out of the wilderness <04057> of Kedemoth <06932> unto Sihon <05511> king <04428> of Heshbon <02809> with words <01697> of peace <07965>_, saying <0559> (8800)_,
27Let me pass <05674> (8799) through thy land <0776>_: I will go <03212> (8799) along by the high way <01870> <01870>_, I will neither turn <05493> (8799) unto the right hand <03225> nor to the left <08040>_.
28Thou shalt sell <07666> (8686) me meat <0400> for money <03701>_, that I may eat <0398> (8804)_; and give <05414> (8799) me water <04325> for money <03701>_, that I may drink <08354> (8804)_: only I will pass through <05674> (8799) on my feet <07272>_;
29(As the children <01121> of Esau <06215> which dwell <03427> (8802) in Seir <08165>_, and the Moabites <04125> which dwell <03427> (8802) in Ar <06144>_, did <06213> (8804) unto me;) until I shall pass over <05674> (8799) Jordan <03383> into the land <0776> which the LORD <03068> our God <0430> giveth <05414> (8802) us.
30But Sihon <05511> king <04428> of Heshbon <02809> would <014> (8804) not let us pass <05674> (8687) by him: for the LORD <03068> thy God <0430> hardened <07185> (8689) his spirit <07307>_, and made his heart <03824> obstinate <0553> (8765)_, that he might deliver <05414> (8800) him into thy hand <03027>_, as [appeareth] this day <03117>_.
31And the LORD <03068> said <0559> (8799) unto me, Behold <07200> (8798)_, I have begun <02490> (8689) to give <05414> (8800) Sihon <05511> and his land <0776> before <06440> thee: begin <02490> (8685) to possess <03423> (8798)_, that thou mayest inherit <03423> (8800) his land <0776>_.
32Then Sihon <05511> came out <03318> (8799) against <07125> (8800) us, he and all his people <05971>_, to fight <04421> at Jahaz <03096>_.
33And the LORD <03068> our God <0430> delivered <05414> (8799) him before <06440> us; and we smote <05221> (8686) him, and his sons <01121>_, and all his people <05971>_.
34And we took <03920> (8799) all his cities <05892> at that time <06256>_, and utterly destroyed <02763> (8686) the men <04962>_, and the women <0802>_, and the little ones <02945>_, of every city <05892>_, we left <07604> (8689) none to remain <08300>_: {the men...: Heb. every city of men, and women, and little ones}
35Only the cattle <0929> we took for a prey <0962> (8804) unto ourselves, and the spoil <07998> of the cities <05892> which we took <03920> (8804)_.
36From Aroer <06177>_, which [is] by the brink <08193> of the river <05158> of Arnon <0769>_, and [from] the city <05892> that [is] by the river <05158>_, even unto Gilead <01568>_, there was not one city <07151> too strong <07682> (8804) for us: the LORD <03068> our God <0430> delivered <05414> (8804) all unto us <06440>_:
37Only unto the land <0776> of the children <01121> of Ammon <05983> thou camest <07126> (8804) not, [nor] unto any place <03027> of the river <05158> Jabbok <02999>_, nor unto the cities <05892> in the mountains <02022>_, nor unto whatsoever the LORD <03068> our God <0430> forbad <06680> (8765) us.
