Leeser(i)
21 And Israel sent messengers unto Sichon the king of the Emorites, saying,
22 Let me pass through thy land; we will not turn aside into field, or into vineyard; we will not drink the water of a well: by the king’s highway will we go along, until we have passed thy border.
23 But Sichon would not suffer Israel to pass through his border; and Sichon assembled all his people together; and went out against Israel into the wilderness; and he came to Yahaz, and fought against Israel.
24 And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and took possession of his land from Arnon unto Yabbok, even unto the children of ‘Ammon; for the border of the children of ‘Ammon was strong.
25 And Israel took all these cities; and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Emorites, in Cheshbon, and in all the villages thereof.
26 For Cheshbon was the city of Sichon the king of the Emorites; and he had fought against the former king of Moab, and taken all his land out of his hand, up to the Arnon.
27 Therefore said the poets, Come into Cheshbon, let the city of Sichon be built and established.
28 For a fire is gone out of Cheshbon, a flame from the city of Sichon: it hath consumed ‘Ar-Moab, the men of the high places of the Arnon.
29 Woe to thee, Moab! thou art lost, O people of Kemosh: he hath suffered his sons to become fugitives, and his daughters to go into captivity, unto the king of the Emorites, Sichon.
30 We have thrown them down; lost is Cheshbon even unto Dibon, and we have laid waste all up to Nophach, which reacheth unto Medeba.
31 Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Emorites.
32 And Moses sent to spy out Ya’zer, and they captured the villages thereof, and drove out the Emorites that were there.
33 And they turned and went up by the way to Bashan; and ‘Og, the king of Bashan, went out against them, he, and all his people, to the battle at Edrei.
34 And the Lord said unto Moses, Fear him not; for into thy hand have I delivered him, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do unto him as thou hast done unto Sichon, the king of the Emorites, who dwelt at Cheshbon.
35 And they smote him and his sons, and all his people, until there was none left unto him that escaped; and they took possession of his land.
