12. And removing from thence, they came to the torrent Zared:
13. Which they left and encamped over against Arnon, which is in the desert and standeth out on the borders of the Amorrhite. For Arnon is the border of Moab, dividing the Moabites and the Amorrhites.
14. Wherefore it is said in the book of the wars of the Lord: As he did in the Red Sea, so will he do in the streams of Amen.
15. The rocks of the torrents were bowed down that they might rest in Ar, and lie down in the borders of the Moabites.
16. When they went from that place, the well appeared whereof the Lord said to Moses: Gather the people together, and I will give them water.
17. Then Israel sung this song: Let the well spring up. They sung thereto:
18. The well, which the princes dug, and the chiefs of the people prepared by the direction of the lawgiver, and with their staves. And they marched from the wilderness to Mathana.
19. From Mathana unto Nahaliel: from Nahaliel unto Bamoth.
20. From Bamoth, is a valley in the country of Moab, to the top of Phasga, which looked towards the desert.
21. And Israel sent messengers to Sehon king of the Amorrhites, saying:
22. I beseech thee that I may have leave to pass through thy land: we will not go aside into the fields or the vineyards, we will not drink waters of the wells, we will go the king's highway, till we be past thy borders.
23. And he would not grant that Israel should pass by his borders: but rather gathering an army, went forth to meet them in the desert, and came to Jasa, and fought against them.
24. And he was slain by them with the edge of the sword, and they possessed his land from the Arnon unto the Jeboc, and to the confines of the children of Ammon: for the borders of the Ammonites, were kept with a strong garrison.
25. So Israel took all his cities, and dwelt in the cities of the Amorrhite, to wit, in Hesebon, and in the villages thereof.
26. Hesebon was the city of Sehon the king of the Amorrhites, who fought against the king of Moab: and took all the land, that had been of his dominions, as far as the Arnon.
27. Therefore it is said in the proverb: Come into Hesebon, let the city of Sehon be built and set up:
28. A fire is gone out of Hesebon, a flame from the city of Sehon, and hath consumed Ar of the Moabites, and the inhabitants of the high places of the Arnon.
29. Woe to thee Moab: thou art undone, O people of Chamos. He hath given his sons to flight, and his daughters into captivity to Sehon the king of the Amorrhites.
30. Their yoke is perished from Hesebon unto Dibon, they came weary to Nophe, and unto Medaba.
