Dual Panel1"Then we turned<6437> and set<5265> out for the wilderness<4057> by the way<1870> to the Red<5488><3220> Sea<3220>, as the LORD<3068> spoke<1696> to me, and circled<5437> Mount<2022> Seir<8165> for many<7227> days<3117>.
2"And the LORD<3068> spoke<559> to me, saying<559>,
3'You have circled<5437> this<2088> mountain<2022> long<7227> enough<7227>. Now turn<6437> north<6828>,
4and command<6680> the people<5971>, saying<559>, "You will pass<5674> through the territory<1366> of your brothers<251> the sons<1121> of Esau<6215> who live<3427> in Seir<8165>; and they will be afraid<3372> of you. So be very<3966> careful<8104>;
5do not provoke<1624> them, for I will not give<5414> you any<4480> of their land<776>, even<5704> as little as a footstep<4096><3709><7272> because<3588> I have given<5414> Mount<2022> Seir<8165> to Esau<6215> as a possession<3425>.
6"You shall buy<7666> food<400> from them with money<3701> so that you may eat<398>, and you shall also<1571> purchase<3739> water<4325> from them with money<3701> so that you may drink<8354>.
7"For the LORD<3068> your God<430> has blessed<1288> you in all<3605> that you have done<3027>; He has known<3045> your wanderings<1980> through this<2088> great<1419> wilderness<4057>. These<2088> forty<705> years<8141> the LORD<3068> your God<430> has been with you; you have not lacked<2637> a thing<1697>."'
8"So we passed<5674> beyond<5674><4480> our brothers<251> the sons<1121> of Esau<6215>, who live<3427> in Seir<8165>, away<4480> from the Arabah<6160> road<1870>, away<4480> from Elath<365> and from Ezion-geber<6100>. And we turned<6437> and passed<5674> through<5674> by the way<1870> of the wilderness<4057> of Moab<4124>.
9"Then the LORD<3068> said<559> to me, 'Do not harass<6696> Moab<4124>, nor<408> provoke<1624> them to war<4421>, for I will not give<5414> you any<4480> of their land<776> as a possession<3425>, because<3588> I have given<5414> Ar<6144> to the sons<1121> of Lot<3876> as a possession<3425>.
10(The Emim<368> lived<3427> there formerly<6440>, a people<5971> as great<1419>, numerous<7227>, and tall<7311> as the Anakim<6062>.
11Like the Anakim<6062>, they are also<637> regarded<2803> as Rephaim<7497>, but the Moabites<4125> call<7121> them Emim<368>.
12The Horites<2752> formerly<6440> lived<3427> in Seir<8165>, but the sons<1121> of Esau<6215> dispossessed<3423> them and destroyed<8045> them from before<6440> them and settled<3427> in their place<8478>, just<3512> as Israel<3478> did<6213> to the land<776> of their possession<3425> which<834> the LORD<3068> gave<5414> to them.)
13'Now<6258> arise<6965> and cross<5674> over<5674> the brook<5158> Zered<2218> yourselves.' So we crossed<5674> over<5674> the brook<5158> Zered<2218>.
14"Now the time<3117> that it took<1980> for us to come<1980> from Kadesh-barnea<6947> until<5704><834> we crossed<5674> over<5674> the brook<5158> Zered<2218> was thirty-eight<7970><8083> years<8141>, until<5704> all<3605> the generation<1755> of the men<376> of war<4421> perished<8552> from within<7130> the camp<4264>, as the LORD<3068> had sworn<7650> to them.
15"Moreover<1571> the hand<3027> of the LORD<3068> was against them, to destroy<2000> them from within<7130> the camp<4264> until<5704> they all perished<8552>.
16"So it came<1961> about when<3512> all<3605> the men<376> of war<4421> had finally<8552> perished<8552><4191> from among<7130> the people<5971>,
17that the LORD<3068> spoke<1696> to me, saying<559>,
18'Today<3117> you shall cross<5674> over<5674> Ar<6144>, the border<1366> of Moab<4124>.
19'When you come<7126> opposite<4136> the sons<1121> of Ammon<5983>, do not harass<6696> them nor<408> provoke<1624> them, for I will not give<5414> you any<4480> of the land<776> of the sons<1121> of Ammon<5983> as a possession<3425>, because<3588> I have given<5414> it to the sons<1121> of Lot<3876> as a possession<3425>.'
20(It is also<637> regarded<2803> as the land<776> of the Rephaim<7497>, for Rephaim<7497> formerly<6440> lived<3427> in it, but the Ammonites<5984> call<7121> them Zamzummin<2157>,
21a people<5971> as great<1419>, numerous<7227>, and tall<7311> as the Anakim<6062>, but the LORD<3068> destroyed<8045> them before<6440> them. And they dispossessed<3423> them and settled<3427> in their place<8478>,
22just<3512> as He did<6213> for the sons<1121> of Esau<6215>, who live<3427> in Seir<8165>, when<834> He destroyed<8045> the Horites<2752> from before<6440> them; they dispossessed<3423> them and settled<3427> in their place<8478> even<5704> to this<2088> day<3117>.
23And the Avvim<5761>, who lived<3427> in villages<2691> as far<5704> as Gaza<5804>, the Caphtorim<3732> who came<3318> from Caphtor<3731>, destroyed<8045> them and lived<3427> in their place<8478>.)
24'Arise<6965>, set<5265> out, and pass<5674> through<5674> the valley<5158> of Arnon<769>. Look<7200>! I have given<5414> Sihon<5511> the Amorite<567>, king<4428> of Heshbon<2809>, and his land<776> into your hand<3027>; begin<2490> to take<3423> possession<3423> and contend<1624> with him in battle<4421>.
25'This<2088> day<3117> I will begin<2490> to put<5414> the dread<6343> and fear<3374> of you upon the peoples<5971> everywhere<3605> under<8478> the heavens<8064>, who<834>, when they hear<8085> the report<8088> of you, will tremble<7264> and be in anguish<2342> because<4480><6440> of you.'
26"So I sent<7971> messengers<4397> from the wilderness<4057> of Kedemoth<6932> to Sihon<5511> king<4428> of Heshbon<2809> with words<1697> of peace<7965>, saying<559>,
27'Let me pass<5674> through your land<776>, I will travel<1980> only on the highway<1870>; I will not turn<5493> aside<5493> to the right<3225> or to the left<8040>.
28'You will sell<7666> me food<400> for money<3701> so that I may eat<398>, and give<5414> me water<4325> for money<3701> so that I may drink<8354>, only<7534> let me pass<5674> through<5674> on foot<7272>,
29just<3512> as the sons<1121> of Esau<6215> who live<3427> in Seir<8165> and the Moabites<4125> who live<3427> in Ar<6144> did<6213> for me, until<5704><834> I cross<5674> over<5674> the Jordan<3383> into the land<776> which<834> the LORD<3068> our God<430> is giving<5414> to us.'
30"But Sihon<5511> king<4428> of Heshbon<2809> was not willing<14> for us to pass<5674> through his land; for the LORD<3068> your God<430> hardened<7185> his spirit<7307> and made<553> his heart<3824> obstinate<553>, in order<4616> to deliver<5414> him into your hand<3027>, as he is today<3117>.
31"The LORD<3068> said<559> to me, 'See<7200>, I have begun<2490> to deliver<5414> Sihon<5511> and his land<776> over<6440> to you. Begin<2490> to occupy<3423>, that you may possess<3423> his land<776>.'
32"Then Sihon<5511> with all<3605> his people<5971> came<3318> out to meet<7122> us in battle<4421> at Jahaz<3096>.
33"The LORD<3068> our God<430> delivered<5414> him over<6440> to us, and we defeated<5221> him with his sons<1121> and all<3605> his people<5971>.
34"So we captured<3920> all<3605> his cities<5892> at that time<6256> and utterly<2763> destroyed<2763> the men<4962>, women<802> and children<2945> of every<3605> city<5892>. We left<7604> no<3808> survivor<8300>.
35"We took<962> only<7534> the animals<929> as our booty<962> and the spoil<7998> of the cities<5892> which<834> we had captured<3920>.
36"From Aroer<6177> which<834> is on the edge<8193> of the valley<5158> of Arnon<769> and from the city<5892> which<834> is in the valley<5158>, even to Gilead<1568>, there was no<3808> city<7151> that was too<4480> high<7682> for us; the LORD<3068> our God<430> delivered<5414> all<3605> over<6440> to us.
37"Only<7534> you did not go<7126> near<7126> to the land<776> of the sons<1121> of Ammon<5983>, all<3605> along<3027> the river<5158> Jabbok<2999> and the cities<5892> of the hill<2022> country<2022>, and wherever<3605><834> the LORD<3068> our God<430> had commanded<6680> us.
