1 καὶ ἤκουσεν ὁ χανανις βασιλεὺς αραδ ὁ κατοικῶν κατὰ τὴν ἔρημον ἦλθεν γὰρ ισραηλ ὁδὸν αθαριν καὶ ἐπολέμησεν πρὸς ισραηλ καὶ κατεπρονόμευσαν ἐξ αὐτῶν αἰχμαλωσίαν

2 καὶ ηὔξατο ισραηλ εὐχὴν κυρίῳ καὶ εἶπεν ἐάν μοι παραδῷς τὸν λαὸν τοῦτον ὑποχείριον ἀναθεματιῶ αὐτὸν καὶ τὰς πόλεις αὐτοῦ

3 καὶ εἰσήκουσεν κύριος τῆς φωνῆς ισραηλ καὶ παρέδωκεν τὸν χανανιν ὑποχείριον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀνεθεμάτισεν αὐτὸν καὶ τὰς πόλεις αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπεκάλεσαν τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ τόπου ἐκείνου ἀνάθεμα

4 καὶ ἀπάραντες ἐξ ωρ τοῦ ὄρους ὁδὸν ἐπὶ θάλασσαν ἐρυθρὰν περιεκύκλωσαν γῆν εδωμ καὶ ὠλιγοψύχησεν ὁ λαὸς ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ

5 καὶ κατελάλει ὁ λαὸς πρὸς τὸν θεὸν καὶ κατὰ μωυσῆ λέγοντες ἵνα τί ἐξήγαγες ἡμᾶς ἐξ αἰγύπτου ἀποκτεῖναι ἡμᾶς ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἄρτος οὐδὲ ὕδωρ ἡ δὲ ψυχὴ ἡμῶν προσώχθισεν ἐν τῷ ἄρτῳ τῷ διακένῳ

6 καὶ ἀπέστειλεν κύριος εἰς τὸν λαὸν τοὺς ὄφεις τοὺς θανατοῦντας καὶ ἔδακνον τὸν λαόν καὶ ἀπέθανεν λαὸς πολὺς τῶν υἱῶν ισραηλ

7 καὶ παραγενόμενος ὁ λαὸς πρὸς μωυσῆν ἔλεγον ὅτι ἡμάρτομεν ὅτι κατελαλήσαμεν κατὰ τοῦ κυρίου καὶ κατὰ σοῦ εὖξαι οὖν πρὸς κύριον καὶ ἀφελέτω ἀφ' ἡμῶν τὸν ὄφιν καὶ ηὔξατο μωυσῆς πρὸς κύριον περὶ τοῦ λαοῦ

8 καὶ εἶπεν κύριος πρὸς μωυσῆν ποίησον σεαυτῷ ὄφιν καὶ θὲς αὐτὸν ἐπὶ σημείου καὶ ἔσται ἐὰν δάκῃ ὄφις ἄνθρωπον πᾶς ὁ δεδηγμένος ἰδὼν αὐτὸν ζήσεται

9 καὶ ἐποίησεν μωυσῆς ὄφιν χαλκοῦν καὶ ἔστησεν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ σημείου καὶ ἐγένετο ὅταν ἔδακνεν ὄφις ἄνθρωπον καὶ ἐπέβλεψεν ἐπὶ τὸν ὄφιν τὸν χαλκοῦν καὶ ἔζη

10 καὶ ἀπῆραν οἱ υἱοὶ ισραηλ καὶ παρενέβαλον ἐν ωβωθ

11 καὶ ἐξάραντες ἐξ ωβωθ παρενέβαλον ἐν αχελγαι ἐκ τοῦ πέραν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ ἥ ἐστιν κατὰ πρόσωπον μωαβ κατὰ ἀνατολὰς ἡλίου

12 ἐκεῖθεν ἀπῆραν καὶ παρενέβαλον εἰς φάραγγα ζαρετ

13 καὶ ἐκεῖθεν ἀπάραντες παρενέβαλον εἰς τὸ πέραν αρνων ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ τὸ ἐξέχον ἀπὸ τῶν ὁρίων τῶν αμορραίων ἔστιν γὰρ αρνων ὅρια μωαβ ἀνὰ μέσον μωαβ καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ αμορραίου

14 διὰ τοῦτο λέγεται ἐν βιβλίῳ πόλεμος τοῦ κυρίου τὴν ζωοβ ἐφλόγισεν καὶ τοὺς χειμάρρους αρνων

15 καὶ τοὺς χειμάρρους κατέστησεν κατοικίσαι ηρ καὶ πρόσκειται τοῖς ὁρίοις μωαβ

16 καὶ ἐκεῖθεν τὸ φρέαρ τοῦτό ἐστιν τὸ φρέαρ ὃ εἶπεν κύριος πρὸς μωυσῆν συνάγαγε τὸν λαόν καὶ δώσω αὐτοῖς ὕδωρ πιεῖν

17 τότε ᾖσεν ισραηλ τὸ ἆ|σμα τοῦτο ἐπὶ τοῦ φρέατος ἐξάρχετε αὐτῷ

18 φρέαρ ὤρυξαν αὐτὸ ἄρχοντες ἐξελατόμησαν αὐτὸ βασιλεῖς ἐθνῶν ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ αὐτῶν ἐν τῷ κυριεῦσαι αὐτῶν καὶ ἀπὸ φρέατος εἰς μανθαναιν

19 καὶ ἀπὸ μανθαναιν εἰς νααλιηλ καὶ ἀπὸ νααλιηλ εἰς βαμωθ

20 καὶ ἀπὸ βαμωθ εἰς νάπην ἥ ἐστιν ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ μωαβ ἀπὸ κορυφῆς τοῦ λελαξευμένου τὸ βλέπον κατὰ πρόσωπον τῆς ἐρήμου

21 καὶ ἀπέστειλεν μωυσῆς πρέσβεις πρὸς σηων βασιλέα αμορραίων λόγοις εἰρηνικοῖς λέγων

22 παρελευσόμεθα διὰ τῆς γῆς σου τῇ ὁδῷ πορευσόμεθα οὐκ ἐκκλινοῦμεν οὔτε εἰς ἀγρὸν οὔτε εἰς ἀμπελῶνα οὐ πιόμεθα ὕδωρ ἐκ φρέατός σου ὁδῷ βασιλικῇ πορευσόμεθα ἕως παρέλθωμεν τὰ ὅριά σου

23 καὶ οὐκ ἔδωκεν σηων τῷ ισραηλ παρελθεῖν διὰ τῶν ὁρίων αὐτοῦ καὶ συνήγαγεν σηων πάντα τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐξῆλθεν παρατάξασθαι τῷ ισραηλ εἰς τὴν ἔρημον καὶ ἦλθεν εἰς ιασσα καὶ παρετάξατο τῷ ισραηλ

24 καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτὸν ισραηλ φόνῳ μαχαίρης καὶ κατεκυρίευσαν τῆς γῆς αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ αρνων ἕως ιαβοκ ἕως υἱῶν αμμαν ὅτι ιαζηρ ὅρια υἱῶν αμμων ἐστίν

25 καὶ ἔλαβεν ισραηλ πάσας τὰς πόλεις ταύτας καὶ κατῴκησεν ισραηλ ἐν πάσαις ταῖς πόλεσιν τῶν αμορραίων ἐν εσεβων καὶ ἐν πάσαις ταῖς συγκυρούσαις αὐτῇ

26 ἔστιν γὰρ εσεβων πόλις σηων τοῦ βασιλέως τῶν αμορραίων καὶ οὗτος ἐπολέμησεν βασιλέα μωαβ τὸ πρότερον καὶ ἔλαβον πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ αροηρ ἕως αρνων

27 διὰ τοῦτο ἐροῦσιν οἱ αἰνιγματισταί ἔλθετε εἰς εσεβων ἵνα οἰκοδομηθῇ καὶ κατασκευασθῇ πόλις σηων

28 ὅτι πῦρ ἐξῆλθεν ἐξ εσεβων φλὸξ ἐκ πόλεως σηων καὶ κατέφαγεν ἕως μωαβ καὶ κατέπιεν στήλας αρνων

29 οὐαί σοι μωαβ ἀπώλου λαὸς χαμως ἀπεδόθησαν οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτῶν διασῴζεσθαι καὶ αἱ θυγατέρες αὐτῶν αἰχμάλωτοι τῷ βασιλεῖ τῶν αμορραίων σηων

30 καὶ τὸ σπέρμα αὐτῶν ἀπολεῖται εσεβων ἕως δαιβων καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες ἔτι προσεξέκαυσαν πῦρ ἐπὶ μωαβ

31 κατῴκησεν δὲ ισραηλ ἐν πάσαις ταῖς πόλεσιν τῶν αμορραίων

32 καὶ ἀπέστειλεν μωυσῆς κατασκέψασθαι τὴν ιαζηρ καὶ κατελάβοντο αὐτὴν καὶ τὰς κώμας αὐτῆς καὶ ἐξέβαλον τὸν αμορραῖον τὸν κατοικοῦντα ἐκεῖ

33 καὶ ἐπιστρέψαντες ἀνέβησαν ὁδὸν τὴν εἰς βασαν καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ωγ βασιλεὺς τῆς βασαν εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτοῖς καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς αὐτοῦ εἰς πόλεμον εἰς εδραϊν

34 καὶ εἶπεν κύριος πρὸς μωυσῆν μὴ φοβηθῇς αὐτόν ὅτι εἰς τὰς χεῖράς σου παραδέδωκα αὐτὸν καὶ πάντα τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν αὐτοῦ καὶ ποιήσεις αὐτῷ καθὼς ἐποίησας τῷ σηων βασιλεῖ τῶν αμορραίων ὃς κατῴκει ἐν εσεβων

35 καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτὸν καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ πάντα τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ ἕως τοῦ μὴ καταλιπεῖν αὐτοῦ ζωγρείαν καὶ ἐκληρονόμησαν τὴν γῆν αὐτῶν

103. The existence of a Word among ancient peoples is clear also in the writings of Moses, who refers to it and quotes something from it in Numbers 21:14-15, 27-30; 21:14-15, 27-30. And the narrative portions of that Word were called The Wars of Jehovah, and the prophetic portions Oracles.

From the narrative portions of that Word Moses quoted the following:

Therefore it is said in the Book of the Wars of Jehovah: “Waheb in Suphah, and the streams, the Arnon, and the channel of the streams which went down to the dwelling place of Ar and stops at the border of Moab.” (Numbers 21:14-15)

The wars of Jehovah in that book — as in ours — meant and described the Lord’s combats with hell and His victories over it, which would take place when He came into the world. These same combats are also meant and described in many places in the narrative portions of our Word—such as by the wars of Joshua with the nations of the land of Canaan, and by the wars of the judges and kings of Israel.

[2] From the prophetic portions of the Ancient Word Moses quoted the following:

Therefore the Oracles say: “Go into Heshbon; the city of Sihon will be built and established. For a fire has gone out from Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon; it consumed Ar of Moab, the possessors of the heights of the Arnon. Woe to you, Moab! You have perished, O people of Chemosh! He has made his sons fugitives, and given his daughters into captivity to Sihon king of the Amorites. We finished them with arrows; Heshbon has perished as far as Dibon. And we laid them waste as far as Nophah, which [reaches] even to Medeba.” (Numbers 21:27-30)

Translators render the source as “those who speak in proverbs, ” but they ought to be called Oracles or Prophetic Utterances, as can be seen from the meaning of the word moshalim in the original Hebrew, which means not only proverbs but also prophetic utterances—as in Numbers 23:7, 18, 24:3, 15. In each of these verses Balaam is said to have uttered his oracle, which was a prophetic one (prophetic, in fact, of the Lord). His oracle each time is called mashal, in the singular. Moreover, the words quoted by Moses in these verses are not proverbs, but prophecies.

[3] That the Ancient Word was likewise Divine or Divinely inspired is apparent in Jeremiah, where almost the same words occur, namely:

...a fire has gone out from Heshbon, and a flame from the midst of Sihon, which consumed the corner of Moab and the crown of the head of the sons of tumult. Woe to you, Moab! The people of Chemosh have perished! For your sons have been taken off into captivity, and your daughters into captivity. (Jeremiah 48:45-46)

In addition to these references, a prophetic book of the Ancient Word, called the Book of Jashar or Book of the Upright, is also cited by David and Joshua. By David:

David lamented...over Saul and over Jonathan..., and he wrote to teach the children of Judah [the Song of] the Bow; is it not written in the Book of Jasher? (2 Samuel 1:17-18)

And by Joshua:

...Joshua...said...: “Sun, stand still in Gibeon; and Moon, in the Valley of Aijalon." ...Is this not written in the Book of Jasher? (Joshua 10:12-13)

Moreover, I have been told that the first seven chapters of Genesis are found in the same Ancient Word, so completely that not the least word is missing.
