Then we turned,{H6437} and took our journey{H5265} into the wilderness{H4057} by the way{H1870} to the Red{H5488} Sea,{H3220} as Jehovah{H3068} spake{H1696} unto me; and we compassed{H5437} mount{H2022} Seir{H8165} many{H7227} days.{H3117}

And Jehovah{H3068} spake{H559} unto me, saying,{H559}

Ye have compassed{H5437} this mountain{H2022} long enough:{H7227} turn{H6437} you northward.{H6828}

And command{H6680} thou the people,{H5971} saying,{H559} Ye are to pass{H5674} through the border{H1366} of your brethren{H251} the children{H1121} of Esau,{H6215} that dwell{H3427} in Seir;{H8165} and they will be afraid{H3372} of you: take ye good{H3966} heed{H8104} unto yourselves therefore;

contend{H1624} not with them; for I will not give{H5414} you of their land,{H776} no, not so much as for the sole{H4096} of the foot{H7272} to tread on; because I have given{H5414} mount{H2022} Seir{H8165} unto Esau{H6215} for a possession.{H3425}

Ye shall purchase{H7666} food{H400} of them for money,{H3701} that ye may eat;{H398} and ye shall also buy{H3739} water{H4325} of them for money,{H3701} that ye may drink.{H8354}

For Jehovah{H3068} thy God{H430} hath blessed{H1288} thee in all the work{H4639} of thy hand;{H3027} he hath known{H3045} thy walking{H3212} through this great{H1419} wilderness:{H4057} these forty{H705} years{H8141} Jehovah{H3068} thy God{H430} hath been with thee; thou hast lacked{H2637} nothing.{H1697}

So we passed{H5674} by from our brethren{H251} the children{H1121} of Esau,{H6215} that dwell{H3427} in Seir,{H8165} from the way{H1870} of the Arabah{H6160} from Elath{H359} and from Ezion-geber.{H6100} And we turned{H6437} and passed{H5674} by the way{H1870} of the wilderness{H4057} of Moab.{H4124}

And Jehovah{H3068} said{H559} unto me, Vex{H6696} not Moab,{H4124} neither contend{H1624} with them in battle;{H4421} for I will not give{H5414} thee of his land{H776} for a possession;{H3425} because I have given{H5414} Ar{H6144} unto the children{H1121} of Lot{H3876} for a possession.{H3425}

(The Emim{H368} dwelt{H3427} therein aforetime,{H6440} a people{H5971} great,{H1419} and many,{H7227} and tall,{H7311} as the Anakim:{H6062}

these{H1992} also are accounted{H2803} Rephaim,{H7497} as the Anakim;{H6062} but the Moabites{H4125} call{H7121} them Emim.{H368}

The Horites{H2752} also dwelt{H3427} in Seir{H8165} aforetime,{H6440} but the children{H1121} of Esau{H6215} succeeded{H3423} them; and they destroyed{H8045} them from before{H6440} them, and dwelt{H3427} in their stead; as Israel{H3478} did{H6213} unto the land{H776} of his possession,{H3425} which Jehovah{H3068} gave{H5414} unto them.)

Now rise up,{H6965} and get you over{H5674} the brook{H5158} Zered.{H2218} And we went over{H5674} the brook{H5158} Zered.{H2218}

And the days{H3117} in which we came{H1980} from Kadesh-barnea,{H6947} until we were come over{H5674} the brook{H5158} Zered,{H2218} were thirty{H7970} and eight{H8083} years;{H8141} until all the generation{H1755} of the men{H582} of war{H4421} were consumed{H8552} from the midst{H7130} of the camp,{H4264} as Jehovah{H3068} sware{H7650} unto them.

Moreover the hand{H3027} of Jehovah{H3068} was against them, to destroy{H2000} them from the midst{H7130} of the camp,{H4264} until they were consumed.{H8552}

So it came to pass, when all the men{H582} of war{H4421} were consumed{H8552} and dead{H4191} from among{H7130} the people,{H5971}

that Jehovah{H3068} spake{H1696} unto me, saying,{H559}

Thou art{H6144} this day to pass over{H5674} Ar,{H6144} the border{H1366} of Moab:{H4124}

and when thou comest nigh{H7126} over against{H4136} the children{H1121} of Ammon,{H5983} vex{H6696} them not, nor contend{H1624} with them; for I will not give{H5414} thee of the land{H776} of the children{H1121} of Ammon{H5983} for a possession;{H3425} because I have given{H5414} it unto the children{H1121} of Lot{H3876} for a possession.{H3425}

(That also is accounted{H2803} a land{H776} of Rephaim:{H7497} Rephaim{H7497} dwelt{H3427} therein aforetime;{H6440} but the Ammonites{H5984} call{H7121} them Zamzummim,{H2157}

a people{H5971} great,{H1419} and many,{H7227} and tall,{H7311} as the Anakim;{H6062} but Jehovah{H3068} destroyed{H8045} them before{H6440} them; and they succeeded{H3423} them, and dwelt{H3427} in their stead;

as he did{H6213} for the children{H1121} of Esau,{H6215} that dwell{H3427} in Seir,{H8165} when he destroyed{H8045} the Horites{H2752} from before{H6440} them; and they succeeded{H3423} them, and dwelt{H3427} in their stead even unto this day:{H3117}

and the Avvim,{H5761} that dwelt{H3427} in villages{H2699} as far as Gaza,{H5804} the Caphtorim,{H3732} that came forth{H3318} out of Caphtor,{H3731} destroyed{H8045} them, and dwelt{H3427} in their stead.)

Rise ye up,{H6965} take your journey,{H5265} and pass over{H5674} the valley{H5158} of the Arnon:{H769} behold,{H7200} I have given{H5414} into thy hand{H3027} Sihon{H5511} the Amorite,{H567} king{H4428} of Heshbon,{H2809} and his land;{H776} begin{H2490} to possess{H3423} it, and contend{H1624} with him in battle.{H4421}

This day{H3117} will I begin{H2490} to put{H5414} the dread{H6343} of thee and the fear{H3374} of thee upon the peoples{H6440} that are under the whole heaven,{H8064} who shall hear{H8085} the report{H8088} of thee, and shall tremble,{H7264} and be in anguish{H2342} because of thee.{H6440}

And I sent{H7971} messengers{H4397} out of the wilderness{H4057} of Kedemoth{H6932} unto Sihon{H5511} king{H4428} of Heshbon{H2809} with words{H1697} of peace,{H7965} saying,{H559}

Let me pass{H5674} through thy land:{H776} I will go{H3212} along by the highway,{H1870} I will turn{H5493} neither unto the right hand{H3225} nor to the left.{H8040}

Thou shalt sell{H7666} me food{H400} for money,{H3701} that I may eat;{H398} and give{H5414} me water{H4325} for money,{H3701} that I may drink:{H8354} only let me pass through{H5674} on my feet,{H7272}

as the children{H1121} of Esau{H6215} that dwell{H3427} in Seir,{H8165} and the Moabites{H4125} that dwell{H3427} in Ar,{H6144} did{H6213} unto me; until I shall pass over{H5674} the Jordan{H3383} into the land{H776} which Jehovah{H3068} our God{H430} giveth{H5414} us.

But Sihon{H5511} king{H4428} of Heshbon{H2809} would{H14} not let us pass{H5674} by him; for Jehovah{H3068} thy God{H430} hardened{H7185} his spirit,{H7307} and made his heart{H3824} obstinate,{H553} that he might deliver{H5414} him into thy hand,{H3027} as at this day.{H3117}

And Jehovah{H3068} said{H559} unto me, Behold,{H7200} I have begun{H2490} to deliver{H5414} up Sihon{H5511} and his land{H776} before{H6440} thee: begin{H2490} to possess,{H3423} that thou mayest inherit{H3423} his land.{H776}

Then Sihon{H5511} came out{H3318} against{H7125} us, he and all his people,{H5971} unto battle{H4421} at Jahaz.{H3096}

And Jehovah{H3068} our God{H430} delivered{H5414} him up before{H6440} us; and we smote{H5221} him, and his sons,{H1121} and all his people.{H5971}

And we took{H3920} all his cities{H5892} at that time,{H6256} and utterly destroyed{H2763} every inhabited{H4962} city,{H5892} with the women{H802} and the little ones;{H2945} we left{H7604} none remaining:{H8300}

only the cattle{H929} we took for a prey{H962} unto ourselves, with the spoil{H7998} of the cities{H5892} which we had taken.{H3920}

From Aroer,{H6177} which is on the edge{H8193} of the valley{H5158} of the Arnon,{H769} and [from] the city{H5892} that is in the valley,{H5158} even unto Gilead,{H1568} there was not a city{H7151} too high{H7682} for us; Jehovah{H3068} our God{H430} delivered{H5414} up all before us:{H6440}

only to the land{H776} of the children{H1121} of Ammon{H5983} thou camest{H7126} not near; all the side{H3027} of the river{H5158} Jabbok,{H2999} and the cities{H5892} of the hill-country,{H2022} and wheresoever Jehovah{H3068} our God{H430} forbade{H6680} us.
