Devarim 2:29-37 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

29. (As the Bnei Esav which dwell in Seir, and the Moavim which dwell in Ar, did unto me;) until I shall pass over Yarden into the land which Hashem Eloheinu giveth us.

30. But Sichon Melech Cheshbon would not let us pass by him; for Hashem Eloheicha hardened and made stubborn his ruach, and made his lev obstinate, that He might deliver him into thy hand, as indeed hayom hazeh.

31. And Hashem said unto me, See, I have begun to give Sichon and his land before thee; begin the occupation, that thou mayest take possession to inherit his land.

32. Then Sichon came out against us, he and all his people, to make milchamah (battle, war) at Yachatz.

33. And Hashem Eloheinu delivered him before us; and we struck him, and his banim, and all his people.

34. And we took all his towns at that time, and in cherem utterly destroyed them, and of the nashim, and the little ones, of every town, we left no remnant;

35. Only the behemah we took for booty unto ourselves, and the plunder of the towns which we took.

36. From Aroer, which is on the edge of Wadi Arnon, and from the town that is by the wadi, even unto Gil`ad, there was not one town too strong for us; Hashem Eloheinu delivered all unto us:

37. Only unto the Eretz Bnei Ammon thou camest not, nor unto any place of the Wadi Yabok, nor unto the towns in the hills, in accordance with the command of Hashem Eloheinu.
