DB1 | Defeat of Sihon and Og. Nu.21.21-35 | RSV Contents | notes| 21 | Revised Standard Version | Passage | Biblia Hebraica |
| 21 | Then Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying, | Defeat of Sihon and Og. Nu.21.21-35 | Dt.2.26-3.11 | וַיִּשְׁלַח יִשְׂרָאֵל מַלְאָכִים אֶל־סִיחֹן מֶלֶךְ־הָאֱמֹרִי לֵאמֹר׃ |
| 22 | "Let me pass through your land; we will not turn aside into field or vineyard; we will not drink the water of a well; we will go by the King's Highway, until we have passed through your territory." | אֶעְבְּרָה בְאַרְצֶךָ לֹא נִטֶּה בְּשָׂדֶה וּבְכֶרֶם לֹא נִשְׁתֶּה מֵי בְאֵר בְּדֶרֶךְ הַמֶּלֶךְ נֵלֵךְ עַד אֲשֶׁר־נַעֲבֹר גְּבֻלֶךָ׃ | |
| 23 | But Sihon would not allow Israel to pass through his territory. He gathered all his men together, and went out against Israel to the wilderness, and came to Jahaz, and fought against Israel. | וְלֹא־נָתַן סִיחֹן אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵל עֲבֹר בִּגְבֻלֹו וַיֶּאֱסֹף סִיחֹן אֶת־כָּל־עַמֹּו וַיֵּצֵא לִקְרַאת יִשְׂרָאֵל הַמִּדְבָּרָה וַיָּבֹא יָהְצָה וַיִּלָּחֶם בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל׃ | |
| 24 | And Israel slew him with the edge of the sword, and took possession of his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, as far as to the Ammonites; for Jazer was the boundary of the Ammonites. | וַיַּכֵּהוּ יִשְׂרָאֵל לְפִי־חָרֶב וַיִּירַשׁ אֶת־אַרְצֹו מֵאַרְןֹן עַד־יַבֹּק עַד־בְּנֵי עַמֹּון כִּי עַז גְּבוּל בְּנֵי עַמֹּון׃ | |
| 25 | And Israel took all these cities, and Israel settled in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all its villages. | וַיִּקַּח יִשְׂרָאֵל אֵת כָּל־הֶעָרִים הָאֵלֶּה וַיֵּשֶׁב יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּכָל־עָרֵי הָאֱמֹרִי בְּחֶשְׁבֹּון וּבְכָל־בְּנֹתֶיהָ׃ | |
| 26 | For Heshbon was the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab and taken all his land out of his hand, as far as the Arnon. | כִּי חֶשְׁבֹּון עִיר סִיחֹן מֶלֶךְ הָאֱמֹרִי הִוא וְהוּא נִלְחַם בְּמֶלֶךְ מֹואָב הָרִאשֹׁון וַיִּקַּח אֶת־כָּל־אַרְצֹו מִיָּדֹו עַד־אַרְןֹן׃ | |
| 27 | Therefore the ballad singers say, "Come to Heshbon, let it be built, | עַל־כֵּן יֹאמְרוּ הַמֹּשְׁלִים בֹּאוּ חֶשְׁבֹּון תִּבָּנֶה וְתִכֹּוןֵן עִיר סִיחֹון׃ | |
| 28 | For fire went forth from Heshbon, flame from the city of Sihon. It devoured Ar of Moab, the lords of the heights of the Arnon. | כִּי־אֵשׁ יָצְאָה מֵחֶשְׁבֹּון לֶהָבָה מִקִּרְיַת סִיחֹן אָכְלָה עָר מֹואָב בַּעֲלֵי בָּמֹות אַרְןֹן׃ | |
| 29 | Woe to you, O Moab! You are undone, O people of Chemosh! He has made his sons fugitives, and his daughters captives, to an Amorite king, Sihon. | אֹוי־לְךָ מֹואָב אָבַדְתָּ עַם־כְּמֹושׁ נָתַן בָּנָיו פְּלֵיטִם וּבְנֹתָיו בַּשְּׁבִית לְמֶלֶךְ אֱמֹרִי סִיחֹון׃ | |
| 30 | So their posterity perished from Heshbon, as far as Dibon, and we laid waste until fire spread to Med'eba." | וַנִּירָם אָבַד חֶשְׁבֹּון עַד־דִּיבֹון וַנַּשִּׁים עַד־נֹפַח אֲשֶׁר עַד־מֵידְבָא׃ | |
