Then we turned, <H6437> and took our journey <H5265> into the wilderness <H4057> by the way <H1870> of the Red <H5488> sea, <H3220> as the LORD <H3068> spake <H1696> unto me: and we compassed <H5437> mount <H2022> Seir <H8165> many <H7227> days. <H3117>
2
And the LORD <H3068> spake <H0559> unto me, saying, <H0559>
3
Ye have compassed <H5437> this mountain <H2022> long enough: <H7227> turn <H6437> you northward. <H6828>
4
And command <H6680> thou the people, <H5971> saying, <H0559> Ye [are] to pass through <H5674> the coast <H1366> of your brethren <H0251> the children <H1121> of Esau, <H6215> which dwell <H3427> in Seir; <H8165> and they shall be afraid <H3372> of you: take ye good <H3966> heed <H8104> unto yourselves therefore:
5
Meddle <H1624> not with them; for I will not give <H5414> you of their land, <H0776> no, not so much as a foot <H7272> breadth; <H4096> <H3709> because I have given <H5414> mount <H2022> Seir <H8165> unto Esau <H6215> [for] a possession. <H3425>
6
Ye shall buy <H7666> meat <H0400> of them for money, <H3701> that ye may eat; <H0398> and ye shall also buy <H3739> water <H4325> of them for money, <H3701> that ye may drink. <H8354>
7
For the LORD <H3068> thy God <H0430> hath blessed <H1288> thee in all the works <H4639> of thy hand: <H3027> he knoweth <H3045> thy walking <H3212> through this great <H1419> wilderness: <H4057> these forty <H0705> years <H8141> the LORD <H3068> thy God <H0430> [hath been] with thee; thou hast lacked <H2637> nothing. <H1697>
8
And when we passed by <H5674> from our brethren <H0251> the children <H1121> of Esau, <H6215> which dwelt <H3427> in Seir, <H8165> through the way <H1870> of the plain <H6160> from Elath, <H0359> and from Eziongaber, <H6100> we turned <H6437> and passed by <H5674> the way <H1870> of the wilderness <H4057> of Moab. <H4124>
9
And the LORD <H3068> said <H0559> unto me, Distress <H6696> not the Moabites, <H4124> neither contend <H1624> with them in battle: <H4421> for I will not give <H5414> thee of their land <H0776> [for] a possession; <H3425> because I have given <H5414> Ar <H6144> unto the children <H1121> of Lot <H3876> [for] a possession. <H3425>
10
The Emims <H0368> dwelt <H3427> therein in times past, <H6440> a people <H5971> great, <H1419> and many, <H7227> and tall, <H7311> as the Anakims; <H6062>
11
Which <H1992> also were accounted <H2803> giants, <H7497> as the Anakims; <H6062> but the Moabites <H4125> call <H7121> them Emims. <H0368>
12
The Horims <H2752> <H2753> also dwelt <H3427> in Seir <H8165> beforetime; <H6440> but the children <H1121> of Esau <H6215> succeeded <H3423> them, when they had destroyed <H8045> them from before <H6440> them, and dwelt <H3427> in their stead; as Israel <H3478> did <H6213> unto the land <H0776> of his possession, <H3425> which the LORD <H3068> gave <H5414> unto them.
13
Now rise up, <H6965> [said I], and get you over <H5674> the brook <H5158> Zered. <H2218> And we went over <H5674> the brook <H5158> Zered. <H2218>
14
And the space <H3117> in which we came <H1980> from Kadeshbarnea, <H6947> until we were come over <H5674> the brook <H5158> Zered, <H2218> [was] thirty <H7970> and eight <H8083> years; <H8141> until all the generation <H1755> of the men <H0582> of war <H4421> were wasted <H8552> out from among <H7130> the host, <H4264> as the LORD <H3068> sware <H7650> unto them.
15
For indeed the hand <H3027> of the LORD <H3068> was against them, to destroy <H2000> them from among <H7130> the host, <H4264> until they were consumed. <H8552>
16
So it came to pass, when all the men <H0582> of war <H4421> were consumed <H8552> and dead <H4191> from among <H7130> the people, <H5971>
17
That the LORD <H3068> spake <H1696> unto me, saying, <H0559>
18
Thou art to pass over <H5674> through Ar, <H6144> the coast <H1366> of Moab, <H4124> this day: <H3117>
19
And [when] thou comest nigh <H7126> over against <H4136> the children <H1121> of Ammon, <H5983> distress <H6696> them not, nor meddle <H1624> with them: for I will not give <H5414> thee of the land <H0776> of the children <H1121> of Ammon <H5983> [any] possession; <H3425> because I have given <H5414> it unto the children <H1121> of Lot <H3876> [for] a possession. <H3425>
20
(That also was accounted <H2803> a land <H0776> of giants: <H7497> giants <H7497> dwelt <H3427> therein in old time; <H6440> and the Ammonites <H5984> call <H7121> them Zamzummims; <H2157>
21
A people <H5971> great, <H1419> and many, <H7227> and tall, <H7311> as the Anakims; <H6062> but the LORD <H3068> destroyed <H8045> them before <H6440> them; and they succeeded <H3423> them, and dwelt <H3427> in their stead:
22
As he did <H6213> to the children <H1121> of Esau, <H6215> which dwelt <H3427> in Seir, <H8165> when he destroyed <H8045> the Horims <H2752> <H2753> from before <H6440> them; and they succeeded <H3423> them, and dwelt <H3427> in their stead even unto this day: <H3117>
23
And the Avims <H5761> which dwelt <H3427> in Hazerim, <H2699> [even] unto Azzah, <H5804> the Caphtorims, <H3732> which came forth <H3318> out of Caphtor, <H3731> destroyed <H8045> them, and dwelt <H3427> in their stead.)
24
Rise ye up, <H6965> take your journey, <H5265> and pass over <H5674> the river <H5158> Arnon: <H0769> behold, <H7200> I have given <H5414> into thine hand <H3027> Sihon <H5511> the Amorite, <H0567> king <H4428> of Heshbon, <H2809> and his land: <H0776> begin <H2490> to possess <H3423> [it], and contend <H1624> with him in battle. <H4421>
25
This day <H3117> will I begin <H2490> to put <H5414> the dread <H6343> of thee and the fear <H3374> of thee upon <H6440> the nations <H5971> [that are] under the whole heaven, <H8064> who shall hear <H8085> report <H8088> of thee, and shall tremble, <H7264> and be in anguish <H2342> because of <H6440> thee.
26
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, <H0559>
27
Let me pass <H5674> through thy land: <H0776> I will go <H3212> along by the high way, <H1870> <H1870> I will neither turn <H5493> unto the right hand <H3225> nor to the left. <H8040>
28
Thou shalt sell <H7666> me meat <H0400> for money, <H3701> that I may eat; <H0398> and give <H5414> me water <H4325> for money, <H3701> that I may drink: <H8354> only I will pass <H5674> through on my feet; <H7272>
29
(As the children <H1121> of Esau <H6215> which dwell <H3427> in Seir, <H8165> and the Moabites <H4125> which dwell <H3427> in Ar, <H6144> did <H6213> unto me;) until I shall pass over <H5674> Jordan <H3383> into the land <H0776> which the LORD <H3068> our God <H0430> giveth <H5414> us.
30
But Sihon <H5511> king <H4428> of Heshbon <H2809> would <H0014> not let us pass <H5674> by him: for the LORD <H3068> thy God <H0430> hardened <H7185> his spirit, <H7307> and made his heart <H3824> obstinate, <H0553> that he might deliver <H5414> him into thy hand, <H3027> as [appeareth] this day. <H3117>
31
And the LORD <H3068> said <H0559> unto me, Behold, <H7200> I have begun <H2490> to give <H5414> Sihon <H5511> and his land <H0776> before <H6440> thee: begin <H2490> to possess, <H3423> that thou mayest inherit <H3423> his land. <H0776>
32
Then Sihon <H5511> came out <H3318> against <H7125> us, he and all his people, <H5971> to fight <H4421> at Jahaz. <H3096>
33
And the LORD <H3068> our God <H0430> delivered <H5414> him before <H6440> us; and we smote <H5221> him, and his sons, <H1121> and all his people. <H5971>
34
And we took <H3920> all his cities <H5892> at that time, <H6256> and utterly destroyed <H2763> the men, <H4962> and the women, <H0802> and the little ones, <H2945> of every city, <H5892> we left <H7604> none to remain: <H8300>
35
Only the cattle <H0929> we took for a prey <H0962> unto ourselves, and the spoil <H7998> of the cities <H5892> which we took. <H3920>
36
From Aroer, <H6177> which [is] by the brink <H8193> of the river <H5158> of Arnon, <H0769> and [from] the city <H5892> that [is] by the river, <H5158> even unto Gilead, <H1568> there was not one city <H7151> too strong <H7682> for us: the LORD <H3068> our God <H0430> delivered <H5414> all unto us: <H6440>
37
Only unto the land <H0776> of the children <H1121> of Ammon <H5983> thou camest <H7126> not, [nor] unto any place <H3027> of the river <H5158> Jabbok, <H2999> nor unto the cities <H5892> in the mountains, <H2022> nor unto whatsoever the LORD <H3068> our God <H0430> forbad <H6680> us.
