¹ And these are the kings of the land whom the sons of Israel smote, and possessed their land across the Jordan from the rising^◦ of the sun from the brook Arnon even·​·to Mount Hermon, and all the desert toward the sunrise:

² Siḥon, king of the Amorite, who dwelt in Heshbon, ruling from Aroer which is on the lip of the brook Arnon, and from the midst of the brook, and half Gilead, even·​·to the brook Jabbok, the border of the sons of Ammon;

³ and the desert even·​·to the sea of Chinnereth, toward the sunrise, and even·​·to the sea of the desert, the Salt sea, toward the sunrise, the way of Beth-jeshimoth; and from the south^◦ under the watercourses of Pisgah;

⁴ and the border of Og king of Bashan, from the remnant of the Rephaim, who dwelt in Ashtaroth and in Edrei,

⁵ ruling in Mount Hermon and in Salchah, and in all Bashan, to^◦ the border of the Geshurite, and the Maachathite, and half Gilead, the border of Sihon king of Heshbon;

⁶ Moses the servant of Jehovah and the sons of Israel smote them; and Moses the servant of Jehovah gave it for a possession to the Reubenite, and to the Gadite, and to the half tribe^◦ of Manasseh.

⁷ And these are the kings of the land, whom Joshua and the sons of Israel smote across the Jordan toward the sea, from Baal-gad in the vale of Lebanon, and to^◦ Mount Halak that goes·​·up to Seir; and Joshua gave it to the tribes^◦ of Israel for a possession, according to their partitions;

⁸ in the mountain, and in the lowland, and in the desert, and in the watercourses, and in the wilderness, and in the south; the Hittite, the Amorite and the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite and the Jebusite.

⁹ the king of Jericho, one; the king of Ai, which is by the side of Bethel, one;

¹⁰ the king of Jerusalem, one; the king of Hebron, one;

¹¹ the king of Jarmuth, one; the king of Lachish, one;

¹² the king of Eglon, one; the king of Gezer, one;

¹³ the king of Debir, one; the king of Geder, one;

¹⁴ the king of Hormah, one; the king of Arad, one;

¹⁵ the king of Libnah, one; the king of Adullam, one;

¹⁶ the king of Makkedah, one; the king of Bethel, one;

¹⁷ the king of Tappuah, one; the king of Hepher, one;

¹⁸ the king of Aphek, one; the king of^◦ Sharon, one;

¹⁹ the king of Madon, one; the king of Hazor, one;

²⁰ the king of Shimron-meron, one; the king of Achshaph, one;

²¹ the king of Taanach, one; the king of Megiddo, one;

²² the king of Kedesh, one; the king of Jokneam on Carmel, one;

²³ the king of Dor on Naphath Dor, one; the king of the nations at Gilgal, one;

²⁴ the king of Tirzah, one; all the kings, thirty and one.

¹ And King Arad the Canaanite, who dwelt·​·in the South, heard that Israel came by the way of the Atharim; and he fought against^◦ Israel, and took·​·captive from among them captives.

² And Israel vowed a vow to Jehovah, and said, If giving Thou wilt give this people into my hand, then I will doom their cities.

³ And Jehovah hearkened to the voice of Israel, and gave·​·over the Canaanites; and they doomed them and their cities; and he called the name of the place Hormah.^*

⁴ And they journeyed from Mount Hor by the way of the Suph Sea^*, to go·​·around the land of Edom; and the soul of the people was shortened^◦ on^◦ the way.

⁵ And the people spoke against^◦ God, and against^◦ Moses, Why have you brought· us ·up out·​·of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no bread, and no water; and our soul loathes this vile bread.

⁶ And Jehovah sent among^◦ the people the serpents, the seraphim^*, and they bit the people; and many people from Israel died.

⁷ And the people came to^▵ Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against^◦ Jehovah, and against^◦ thee; pray to^▵ Jehovah, that He remove the serpents from upon us. And Moses prayed for^▫ the people.

⁸ And Jehovah said to^▵ Moses, Make for thee a saraph^*, and set it upon a standard; and it shall be, that every one who is bitten, when he sees it, shall live.

⁹ And Moses made a serpent of bronze, and set it upon the standard, and it was, if a serpent had bitten a man^◦, and he looked at^▵ the serpent of bronze, then he lived.

¹⁰ And the sons of Israel journeyed, and encamped in Oboth.

¹¹ And they journeyed from Oboth, and encamped at Ije-abarim, in the wilderness which is before Moab, toward the rising^◦ of the sun.

¹² From thence they journeyed, and encamped by the brook of Zaredh.

¹³ From thence they journeyed, and encamped across Arnon, which is in the wilderness that comes·​·out of the borders of the Amorites; for Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.

¹⁴ Therefore it is said in the book, The Wars of Jehovah: Vaheb in Suphah, and the brooks, the Arnon,

¹⁵ and the watercourse of the brooks that stretches to the dwelling of Ar, and leans to the border of Moab.

¹⁶ And from thence they went to^▫ Beer; that^◦ is the well whereof Jehovah said to Moses, Gather· the people ·together and I will give to them water.

¹⁷ Then^▵ Israel sang this song, Come·​·up, O well; answer ye to it;

¹⁸ the princes dug the well, the nobles^◦ of the people dug· it ·out, by the direction of the lawgiver, with their staves. And from the wilderness they went to^▫ Mattanah;

¹⁹ and from Mattanah to Nahaliel; and from Nahaliel to Bamoth:

²⁰ and from Bamoth in the ravine, that is in the field of Moab, to the head of Pisgah, that looks·​·out upon the faces of Jeshimon.

²¹ And Israel sent messengers to^▵ Sihon, king of the Amorites, saying,

²² Let me pass·​·through thy land; we will not go·​·aside into the fields, or^◦ into the vineyards; we will not drink the waters of the well; we will go by the king’s high way, until we have passed·​·by thy borders.

²³ And Sihon would not give Israel passage within^◦ his border; but Sihon gathered all his people, and went·​·out to meet Israel toward the wilderness; and he came toward Jahaz, and fought with Israel.

²⁴ And Israel smote him with the mouth of the sword, and possessed his land from Arnon to^◦ Jabbok, even·​·to the sons of Ammon; for the border of the sons of Ammon was strong.

²⁵ And Israel took all these cities; and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all her villages^*.

²⁶ For Heshbon, it^◦ was the city of Sihon, king of the Amorites, and he^◦ had fought against^◦ the first king of Moab, and taken all his land out·​·of his hand, even·​·to Arnon.

²⁷ Therefore the Enunciators say, Come·​·into Heshbon, let the city of Sihon be built and established;

²⁸ for there is a fire gone·​·out of Heshbon, a flame from the walled·​·city of Sihon; it has devoured Ar of Moab, and the lords of the high·​·places of Arnon.

²⁹ Woe to thee, Moab! Thou art perished, O people of Chemosh; he has given his sons that escaped^◦, and his daughters, into captivity to Sihon king of the Amorites.

³⁰ We have shot at them; Heshbon is perished even·​·to Dibon, and we have desolated them even·​·to Nophah, which is even·​·to Medeba.

³¹ And Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites.

³² And Moses sent them to spy·​·out Jaazer, and they took^◦ its villages, and dispossessed the Amorites who were there.

³³ And they turned^◦ and went·​·up by the way of Bashan; and Og the king of Bashan went·​·out to meet them, he^◦ and all his people, to the battle at Edrei.

³⁴ And Jehovah said to^▵ Moses, Fear him not; for I have given him into thy hand, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do to him as^◦ thou didst to Sihon, king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon.

³⁵ And they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, until not^▵ a survivor was left for him; and they possessed his land.
