1 Then we turned 6437, and took our journey 5265 into the wilderness 4057 by the way 1870 of the Red 5488 sea 3220, as the LORD 3068 spake 1696 unto me: and we compassed 5437 mount 2022 Seir 8165 many 7227 days 3117.
2 And the LORD 3068 spake 559 unto me, saying 559,
3 Ye have compassed 5437 this mountain 2022 long enough 7227: turn 6437 you northward 6828.
4 And command 6680 thou the people 5971, saying 559, Ye are to pass 5674 through the coast 1366 of your brethren 251 the children 1121 of Esau 6215, which dwell 3427 in Seir 8165; and they shall be afraid 3372 of you: take ye good 3966 heed 8104 unto yourselves therefore:
5 Meddle 1624 not with them; for I will not give 5414 you of their land 776, no, not so much as a foot 7272 breadth 4096 3709; because I have given 5414 mount 2022 Seir 8165 unto Esau 6215 for a possession 3425.
6 Ye shall buy 7666 meat 400 of them for money 3701, that ye may eat 398; and ye shall also buy 3739 water 4325 of them for money 3701, that ye may drink 8354.
7 For the LORD 3068 thy God 430 hath blessed 1288 thee in all the works 4639 of thy hand 3027: he knoweth 3045 thy walking 3212 through this great 1419 wilderness 4057: these forty 705 years 8141 the LORD 3068 thy God 430 hath been with thee; thou hast lacked 2637 nothing 1697.
8 And when we passed 5674 by from our brethren 251 the children 1121 of Esau 6215, which dwelt 3427 in Seir 8165, through the way 1870 of the plain 6160 from Elath 359, and from Eziongaber 6100, we turned 6437 and passed 5674 by the way 1870 of the wilderness 4057 of Moab 4124.
9 And the LORD 3068 said 559 unto me, Distress 6696 not the Moabites 4124, neither contend 1624 with them in battle 4421: for I will not give 5414 thee of their land 776 for a possession 3425; because I have given 5414 Ar 6144 unto the children 1121 of Lot 3876 for a possession 3425.
10 The Emims 368 dwelt 3427 therein in times past 6440, a people 5971 great 1419, and many 7227, and tall 7311, as the Anakims 6062;
11 Which 1992 also were accounted 2803 giants 7497, as the Anakims 6062; but the Moabites 4125 call 7121 them Emims 368.
12 The Horims 2752 also dwelt 3427 in Seir 8165 beforetime 6440; but the children 1121 of Esau 6215 succeeded 3423 them, when they had destroyed 8045 them from before 6440 them, and dwelt 3427 in their stead; as Israel 3478 did 6213 unto the land 776 of his possession 3425, which the LORD 3068 gave 5414 unto them.
13 Now rise up 6965, said I, and get you over 5674 the brook 5158 Zered 2218. And we went over 5674 the brook 5158 Zered 2218.
14 And the space 3117 in which we came 1980 from Kadeshbarnea 6947, until we were come over 5674 the brook 5158 Zered 2218, was thirty 7970 and eight 8083 years 8141; until all the generation 1755 of the men 582 of war 4421 were wasted out 8552 from among 7130 the host 4264, as the LORD 3068 sware 7650 unto them.
15 For indeed the hand 3027 of the LORD 3068 was against them, to destroy 2000 them from among 7130 the host 4264, until they were consumed 8552.
16 So it came to pass, when all the men 582 of war 4421 were consumed 8552 and dead 4191 from among 7130 the people 5971,
17 That the LORD 3068 spake 1696 unto me, saying 559,
18 Thou art to pass over 5674 through Ar 6144, the coast 1366 of Moab 4124, this day 3117:
19 And when thou comest nigh 7126 over against 4136 the children 1121 of Ammon 5983, distress 6696 them not, nor meddle 1624 with them: for I will not give 5414 thee of the land 776 of the children 1121 of Ammon 5983 any possession 3425; because I have given 5414 it unto the children 1121 of Lot 3876 for a possession 3425.
20 (That also was accounted 2803 a land 776 of giants 7497: giants 7497 dwelt 3427 therein in old time 6440; and the Ammonites 5984 call 7121 them Zamzummims 2157;
21 A people 5971 great 1419, and many 7227, and tall 7311, as the Anakims 6062; but the LORD 3068 destroyed 8045 them before 6440 them; and they succeeded 3423 them, and dwelt 3427 in their stead:
22 As he did 6213 to the children 1121 of Esau 6215, which dwelt 3427 in Seir 8165, when he destroyed 8045 the Horims 2752 from before 6440 them; and they succeeded 3423 them, and dwelt 3427 in their stead even unto this day 3117:
23 And the Avims 5761 which dwelt 3427 in Hazerim 2699, even unto Azzah 5804, the Caphtorims 3732, which came forth 3318 out of Caphtor 3731, destroyed 8045 them, and dwelt 3427 in their stead.)
24 Rise ye up 6965, take your journey 5265, and pass over 5674 the river 5158 Arnon 769: behold 7200, I have given 5414 into thine hand 3027 Sihon 5511 the Amorite 567, king 4428 of Heshbon 2809, and his land 776: begin 2490 to possess 3423 it, and contend 1624 with him in battle 4421.
25 This day 3117 will I begin 2490 to put 5414 the dread 6343 of thee and the fear 3374 of thee upon the nations 6440 5971 that are under the whole heaven 8064, who shall hear 8085 report 8088 of thee, and shall tremble 7264, and be in anguish 2342 because of thee 6440.
26 And I sent 7971 messengers 4397 out of the wilderness 4057 of Kedemoth 6932 unto Sihon 5511 king 4428 of Heshbon 2809 with words 1697 of peace 7965, saying 559,
27 Let me pass 5674 through thy land 776: I will go 3212 along by the high way 1870 1870, I will neither turn 5493 unto the right hand 3225 nor to the left 8040.
28 Thou shalt sell 7666 me meat 400 for money 3701, that I may eat 398; and give 5414 me water 4325 for money 3701, that I may drink 8354: only I will pass through 5674 on my feet 7272;
29 (As the children 1121 of Esau 6215 which dwell 3427 in Seir 8165, and the Moabites 4125 which dwell 3427 in Ar 6144, did 6213 unto me;) until I shall pass over 5674 Jordan 3383 into the land 776 which the LORD 3068 our God 430 giveth 5414 us.
30 But Sihon 5511 king 4428 of Heshbon 2809 would 14 not let us pass 5674 by him: for the LORD 3068 thy God 430 hardened 7185 his spirit 7307, and made his heart 3824 obstinate 553, that he might deliver 5414 him into thy hand 3027, as appeareth this day 3117.
31 And the LORD 3068 said 559 unto me, Behold 7200, I have begun 2490 to give 5414 Sihon 5511 and his land 776 before 6440 thee: begin 2490 to possess 3423, that thou mayest inherit 3423 his land 776.
32 Then Sihon 5511 came out 3318 against 7125 us, he and all his people 5971, to fight 4421 at Jahaz 3096.
33 And the LORD 3068 our God 430 delivered 5414 him before 6440 us; and we smote 5221 him, and his sons 1121, and all his people 5971.
34 And we took 3920 all his cities 5892 at that time 6256, and utterly destroyed 2763 the men 4962, and the women 802, and the little ones 2945, of every city 5892, we left 7604 none to remain 8300:
35 Only the cattle 929 we took for a prey 962 unto ourselves, and the spoil 7998 of the cities 5892 which we took 3920.
36 From Aroer 6177, which is by the brink 8193 of the river 5158 of Arnon 769, and from the city 5892 that is by the river 5158, even unto Gilead 1568, there was not one city 7151 too strong 7682 for us: the LORD 3068 our God 430 delivered 5414 all unto us 6440:
37 Only unto the land 776 of the children 1121 of Ammon 5983 thou camest 7126 not, nor unto any place 3027 of the river 5158 Jabbok 2999, nor unto the cities 5892 in the mountains 2022, nor unto whatsoever the LORD 3068 our God 430 forbad 6680 us.
