ASVs · chapter 2
1 T hen we turned,H6437 and took our journeyH5265 into the wildernessH4057 by the wayH1870 to the RedH5488 Sea,H3220 as JehovahH3068 spakeH1696 unto me; and we compassedH5437 mountH2022 SeirH8165 manyH7227 days.H3117
2 And JehovahH3068 spakeH559 unto me, saying,H559
3 Ye have compassedH5437 this mountainH2022 long enough:H7227 turnH6437 you northward.H6828
4 And commandH6680 thou the people,H5971 saying,H559 Ye are to passH5674 through the borderH1366 of your brethrenH251 the childrenH1121 of Esau,H6215 that dwellH3427 in Seir;H8165 and they will be afraidH3372 of you: take ye goodH3966 heedH8104 unto yourselves therefore;
5 contendH1624 not with them; for I will not giveH5414 you of their land,H776 no, not so much as for the soleH4096 of the footH7272 to tread on; because I have givenH5414 mountH2022 SeirH8165 unto EsauH6215 for a possession.H3425
6 Ye shall purchaseH7666 foodH400 of them for money,H3701 that ye may eat;H398 and ye shall also buyH3739 waterH4325 of them for money,H3701 that ye may drink.H8354
7 For JehovahH3068 thy GodH430 hath blessedH1288 thee in all the workH4639 of thy hand;H3027 he hath knownH3045 thy walkingH3212 through this greatH1419 wilderness:H4057 these fortyH705 yearsH8141 JehovahH3068 thy GodH430 hath been with thee; thou hast lackedH2637 nothing.H1697
8 So we passedH5674 by from our brethrenH251 the childrenH1121 of Esau,H6215 that dwellH3427 in Seir,H8165 from the wayH1870 of the ArabahH6160 from ElathH359 and from Ezion-geber.H6100 And we turnedH6437 and passedH5674 by the wayH1870 of the wildernessH4057 of Moab.H4124
9 And JehovahH3068 saidH559 unto me, VexH6696 not Moab,H4124 neither contendH1624 with them in battle;H4421 for I will not giveH5414 thee of his landH776 for a possession;H3425 because I have givenH5414 ArH6144 unto the childrenH1121 of LotH3876 for a possession.H3425
10 (The EmimH368 dweltH3427 therein aforetime,H6440 a peopleH5971 great,H1419 and many,H7227 and tall,H7311 as the Anakim:H6062
11 theseH1992 also are accountedH2803 Rephaim,H7497 as the Anakim;H6062 but the MoabitesH4125 callH7121 them Emim.H368
12 The HoritesH2752 also dweltH3427 in SeirH8165 aforetime,H6440 but the childrenH1121 of EsauH6215 succeededH3423 them; and they destroyedH8045 them from beforeH6440 them, and dweltH3427 in their stead; as IsraelH3478 didH6213 unto the landH776 of his possession,H3425 which JehovahH3068 gaveH5414 unto them.)
13 Now rise up,H6965 and get you overH5674 the brookH5158 Zered.H2218 And we went overH5674 the brookH5158 Zered.H2218
14 And the daysH3117 in which we cameH1980 from Kadesh-barnea,H6947 until we were come overH5674 the brookH5158 Zered,H2218 were thirtyH7970 and eightH8083 years;H8141 until all the generationH1755 of the menH582 of warH4421 were consumedH8552 from the midstH7130 of the camp,H4264 as JehovahH3068 swareH7650 unto them.
15 Moreover the handH3027 of JehovahH3068 was against them, to destroyH2000 them from the midstH7130 of the camp,H4264 until they were consumed.H8552
16 So it came to pass, when all the menH582 of warH4421 were consumedH8552 and deadH4191 from amongH7130 the people,H5971
17 that JehovahH3068 spakeH1696 unto me, saying,H559
18 Thou artH6144 this day to pass overH5674 Ar,H6144 the borderH1366 of Moab:H4124
19 and when thou comest nighH7126 over againstH4136 the childrenH1121 of Ammon,H5983 vexH6696 them not, nor contendH1624 with them; for I will not giveH5414 thee of the landH776 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 for a possession;H3425 because I have givenH5414 it unto the childrenH1121 of LotH3876 for a possession.H3425
20 (That also is accountedH2803 a landH776 of Rephaim:H7497 RephaimH7497 dweltH3427 therein aforetime;H6440 but the AmmonitesH5984 callH7121 them Zamzummim,H2157
21 a peopleH5971 great,H1419 and many,H7227 and tall,H7311 as the Anakim;H6062 but JehovahH3068 destroyedH8045 them beforeH6440 them; and they succeededH3423 them, and dweltH3427 in their stead;
22 as he didH6213 for the childrenH1121 of Esau,H6215 that dwellH3427 in Seir,H8165 when he destroyedH8045 the HoritesH2752 from beforeH6440 them; and they succeededH3423 them, and dweltH3427 in their stead even unto this day:H3117
23 and the Avvim,H5761 that dweltH3427 in villagesH2699 as far as Gaza,H5804 the Caphtorim,H3732 that came forthH3318 out of Caphtor,H3731 destroyedH8045 them, and dweltH3427 in their stead.)
24 Rise ye up,H6965 take your journey,H5265 and pass overH5674 the valleyH5158 of the Arnon:H769 behold,H7200 I have givenH5414 into thy handH3027 SihonH5511 the Amorite,H567 kingH4428 of Heshbon,H2809 and his land;H776 beginH2490 to possessH3423 it, and contendH1624 with him in battle.H4421
25 This dayH3117 will I beginH2490 to putH5414 the dreadH6343 of thee and the fearH3374 of thee upon the peoplesH6440 that are under the whole heaven,H8064 who shall hearH8085 the reportH8088 of thee, and shall tremble,H7264 and be in anguishH2342 because of thee.H6440
26 And I sentH7971 messengersH4397 out of the wildernessH4057 of KedemothH6932 unto SihonH5511 kingH4428 of HeshbonH2809 with wordsH1697 of peace,H7965 saying,H559
27 Let me passH5674 through thy land:H776 I will goH3212 along by the highway,H1870 I will turnH5493 neither unto the right handH3225 nor to the left.H8040
28 Thou shalt sellH7666 me foodH400 for money,H3701 that I may eat;H398 and giveH5414 me waterH4325 for money,H3701 that I may drink:H8354 only let me pass throughH5674 on my feet,H7272
29 as the childrenH1121 of EsauH6215 that dwellH3427 in Seir,H8165 and the MoabitesH4125 that dwellH3427 in Ar,H6144 didH6213 unto me; until I shall pass overH5674 the JordanH3383 into the landH776 which JehovahH3068 our GodH430 givethH5414 us.
30 But SihonH5511 kingH4428 of HeshbonH2809 wouldH14 not let us passH5674 by him; for JehovahH3068 thy GodH430 hardenedH7185 his spirit,H7307 and made his heartH3824 obstinate,H553 that he might deliverH5414 him into thy hand,H3027 as at this day.H3117
31 And JehovahH3068 saidH559 unto me, Behold,H7200 I have begunH2490 to deliverH5414 up SihonH5511 and his landH776 beforeH6440 thee: beginH2490 to possess,H3423 that thou mayest inheritH3423 his land.H776
32 Then SihonH5511 came outH3318 againstH7125 us, he and all his people,H5971 unto battleH4421 at Jahaz.H3096
33 And JehovahH3068 our GodH430 deliveredH5414 him up beforeH6440 us; and we smoteH5221 him, and his sons,H1121 and all his people.H5971
34 And we tookH3920 all his citiesH5892 at that time,H6256 and utterly destroyedH2763 every inhabitedH4962 city,H5892 with the womenH802 and the little ones;H2945 we leftH7604 none remaining:H8300
35 only the cattleH929 we took for a preyH962 unto ourselves, with the spoilH7998 of the citiesH5892 which we had taken.H3920
36 From Aroer,H6177 which is on the edgeH8193 of the valleyH5158 of the Arnon,H769 and [from] the cityH5892 that is in the valley,H5158 even unto Gilead,H1568 there was not a cityH7151 too highH7682 for us; JehovahH3068 our GodH430 deliveredH5414 up all before us:H6440
37 only to the landH776 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 thou camestH7126 not near; all the sideH3027 of the riverH5158 Jabbok,H2999 and the citiesH5892 of the hill-country,H2022 and wheresoever JehovahH3068 our GodH430 forbadeH6680 us.
