Numbers 21:27-35 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

27. That is why those who speak in proverbs say, “Come to Ḥeshbon, let the city of Siḥon be built and established.

28. “For fire went out from Ḥeshbon, a flame from the city of Siḥon. It consumed Ar of Mo’aḇ, the masters of the heights of the Arnon.

29. “Woe to you, Mo’aḇ! You have perished, O people of Kemosh! He has given his sons as fugitives, and his daughters into captivity, to Siḥon the sovereign of the Amorites.

30. “Then we shot them – Ḥeshbon has perished as far as Diḇon. And we laid waste as far as Nophaḥ, which reaches to Mĕyḏeḇa.”

31. So Yisra’ĕl dwelt in the land of the Amorites.

32. And Mosheh sent to spy out Ya‛zĕr. And they took its villages and drove out the Amorites who were there,

33. and turned and went up by the way to Bashan. And Og̅ sovereign of Bashan went out against them, he and all his people, to battle at Eḏre‛i.

34. And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Do not fear him, for I have given him into your hand, with all his people and his land. And you shall do to him as you did to Siḥon sovereign of the Amorites, who dwelt at Ḥeshbon.”

35. And they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, until no remnant was left to him. And they took possession of his land.
