Dual Panel1When the Canaanite<3669>, the king<4428> of Arad<6166>, who lived<3427> in the Negev<5045>, heard<8085> that Israel<3478> was coming<935> by the way<1870> of Atharim<871>, then he fought<3898> against Israel<3478> and took<7617> some<4480> of them captive<7628>.
2So Israel<3478> made<5087> a vow<5088> to the LORD<3068> and said<559>, "If<518> You will indeed<5414> deliver<5414> this<2088> people<5971> into my hand<3027>, then I will utterly<2763> destroy<2763> their cities<5892>."
3The LORD<3068> heard<8085> the voice<6963> of Israel<3478> and delivered<5414> up the Canaanites<3669>; then they utterly<2763> destroyed<2763> them and their cities<5892>. Thus the name<8034> of the place<4725> was called<7121> Hormah<2767>.
4Then they set<5265> out from Mount<2022> Hor<2023> by the way<1870> of the Red<5488><3220> Sea<3220>, to go<5437> around<5437> the land<776> of Edom<112>; and the people<5315><5971> became<7114> impatient<7114> because of the journey<1870>.
5The people<5971> spoke<1696> against God<430> and Moses<4872>, "Why<4100> have you brought<5927> us up out of Egypt<4714> to die<4191> in the wilderness<4057>? For there<369> is no<369> food<3899> and no<369> water<4325>, and we loathe<6973> this miserable<7052> food<3899>."
6The LORD<3068> sent<7971> fiery<8314> serpents<8314> among the people<5971> and they bit<5391> the people<5971>, so that many<7227> people<5971> of Israel<3478> died<4191>.
7So the people<5971> came<935> to Moses<4872> and said<559>, "We have sinned<2398>, because<3588> we have spoken<1696> against the LORD<3068> and you; intercede<6419> with the LORD<3068>, that He may remove<5493> the serpents<5175> from us." And Moses<4872> interceded<6419> for the people<5971>.
8Then the LORD<3068> said<559> to Moses<4872>, "Make<6213> a fiery<8314> serpent, and set<7760> it on a standard<5251>; and it shall come<1961> about, that everyone<3605> who is bitten<5391>, when he looks<7200> at it, he will live<2421>."
9And Moses<4872> made<6213> a bronze<5178> serpent<5175> and set<7760> it on the standard<5251>; and it came<1961> about, that if<518> a serpent<5175> bit<5391> any<376> man<376>, when he looked<5027> to the bronze<5178> serpent<5175>, he lived<2421>.
10Now the sons<1121> of Israel<3478> moved<5265> out and camped<2583> in Oboth<88>.
11They journeyed<5265> from Oboth<88> and camped<2583> at Iyeabarim<5863>, in the wilderness<4057> which<834> is opposite<5921><6440> Moab<4124>, to the east<4217><8121>.
12From there<8033> they set<5265> out and camped<2583> in Wadi<5158> Zered<2218>.
13From there<8033> they journeyed<5265> and camped<2583> on the other<5676> side<5676> of the Arnon<769>, which<834> is in the wilderness<4057> that comes<3318> out of the border<1366> of the Amorites<567>, for the Arnon<769> is the border<1366> of Moab<4124>, between<996> Moab<4124> and the Amorites<567>.
14Therefore<5921><3651> it is said<559> in the Book<5612> of the Wars<4421> of the LORD<3068>, "Waheb<2052> in Suphah<5492>, And the wadis<5158> of the Arnon<769>,
15And the slope<793> of the wadis<5158> That extends<5186> to the site<7675> of Ar<6144>, And leans<8172> to the border<1366> of Moab<4124>."
16From there<8033> they continued to Beer<876>, that is the well<875> where<834> the LORD<3068> said<559> to Moses<4872>, "Assemble<622> the people<5971>, that I may give<5414> them water<4325>."
17Then<227> Israel<3478> sang<7891> this<2088> song<7892>: "Spring<5927> up, O well<875>! Sing<6031> to it!
18"The well<875>, which the leaders<8269> sank<2658>, Which the nobles<5081> of the people<5971> dug<3738>, With the scepter<2710> and with their staffs<4938>." And from the wilderness<4057> they continued to Mattanah<4980>,
19and from Mattanah<4980> to Nahaliel<5160>, and from Nahaliel<5160> to Bamoth<1120>,
20and from Bamoth<1120> to the valley<1516> that is in the land<7704> of Moab<4124>, at the top<7218> of Pisgah<6449> which overlooks<5921><6440><8259> the wasteland<3452>.
21Then Israel<3478> sent<7971> messengers<4397> to Sihon<5511>, king<4428> of the Amorites<567>, saying<559>,
22"Let me pass<5674> through<5674> your land<776>. We will not turn<5186> off into field<7704> or vineyard<3754>; we will not drink<8354> water<4325> from wells<875>. We will go<1980> by the king's<4428> highway<1870> until<5704><834> we have passed<5674> through<5674> your border<1366>."
23But Sihon<5511> would not permit<5414> Israel<3478> to pass<5674> through<5674> his border<1366>. So Sihon<5511> gathered<622> all<3605> his people<5971> and went<3318> out against<7122> Israel<3478> in the wilderness<4057>, and came<935> to Jahaz<3096> and fought<3898> against Israel<3478>.
24Then Israel<3478> struck<5221> him with the edge<6310> of the sword<2719>, and took<3423> possession<3423> of his land<776> from the Arnon<769> to the Jabbok<2999>, as far<5704> as the sons<1121> of Ammon<5983>; for the border<1366> of the sons<1121> of Ammon<5983> was Jazer<3270>.
25Israel<3478> took<3947> all<3605> these<428> cities<5892> and Israel<3478> lived<3427> in all<3605> the cities<5892> of the Amorites<567>, in Heshbon<2809>, and in all<3605> her villages<1323>.
26For Heshbon<2809> was the city<5892> of Sihon<5511>, king<4428> of the Amorites<567>, who<1931> had fought<3898> against the former<7223> king<4428> of Moab<4124> and had taken<3947> all<3605> his land<776> out of his hand<3027>, as far<5704> as the Arnon<769>.
27Therefore<5921><3651> those who use<4911> proverbs<4911> say<559>, "Come<935> to Heshbon<2809>! Let it be built<1129>! So let the city<5892> of Sihon<5511> be established<3559>.
28"For a fire<784> went<3318> forth<3318> from Heshbon<2809>, A flame<3852> from the town<7151> of Sihon<5511>; It devoured<398> Ar<6144> of Moab<4124>, The dominant<1167> heights<1181> of the Arnon<769>.
29"Woe<188> to you, O Moab<4124>! You are ruined<6>, O people<5971> of Chemosh<3645>! He has given<5414> his sons<1121> as fugitives<6412>, And his daughters<1323> into captivity<7622>, To an Amorite<567> king<4428>, Sihon<5511>.
30"But we have cast<3384> them down<3384>, Heshbon<2809> is ruined<6> as far<5704> as Dibon<1769>, Then we have laid<8074> waste<8074> even<5704> to Nophah<5302>, Which<834> reaches to Medeba<4311>."
31Thus Israel<3478> lived<3427> in the land<776> of the Amorites<567>.
32Moses<4872> sent<7971> to spy<7270> out Jazer<3270>, and they captured<3920> its villages<1323> and dispossessed<3423> the Amorites<567> who<834> were there<8033>.
33Then they turned<6437> and went<5927> up by the way<1870> of Bashan<1316>, and Og<5747> the king<4428> of Bashan<1316> went<3318> out with all<3605> his people<5971>, for battle<4421> at Edrei<154>.
34But the LORD<3068> said<559> to Moses<4872>, "Do not fear<3372> him, for I have given<5414> him into your hand<3027>, and all<3605> his people<5971> and his land<776>; and you shall do<6213> to him as you did<6213> to Sihon<5511>, king<4428> of the Amorites<567>, who<834> lived<3427> at Heshbon<2809>."
35So they killed<5221> him and his sons<1121> and all<3605> his people<5971>, until<5704> there was no<1115> remnant<8300> left<7604> him; and they possessed<3423> his land<776>.
