Tree Of Life Version

Numbers 21:25-35 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

25. Israel conquered all these cities and occupied all the Amorite cities, Heshbon and all its towns.

26. Heshbon was the city of King Sihon of the Amorites, who had fought with the former king of Moab and had taken from his control all the land as far as the Arnon.

27. Therefore the poets say, “Come to Heshbon! Let her be rebuilt! Let the city of Sihon be restored!

28. For fire went out from Heshbon, a blaze from the city of Sihon! It consumed Ar of Moab, the masters of Arnon’s heights!

29. Woe to you, O Moab! You have been destroyed, people of Chemosh! He has given up his sons as refugees and his daughters as captives to Sihon, king of the Amorites.

30. But we overthrew them! Heshbon as far as Dibon is destroyed! We have demolished them as far as Nophah up to Medeba.”

31. So Israel was living in the land of the Amorites.

32. After Moses sent spies to Jazer, they captured her towns and drove out the Amorites who were there.

33. Then they turned and went up the road to the Bashan. Og, king of the Bashan, went out to confront them, he and all his people, in battle at Edrei.

34. Adonai said to Moses, “Do not fear him. I have given him with all his people and his land into your hand. You are to do to him just as you did to Sihon, the Amorite king who was living in Heshbon.”

35. So they struck him and his sons and his entire army until no survivor was left to him, and they possessed his land.
