Num.21.5

And the people spoke against God and against Moses: "Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no food and no water, and our soul loathes this worthless bread."

Num.21.14

The Book of the Wars of GOD refers to this place: Waheb in Suphah, the canyons of Arnon;

Num.21.14

That is why the Book of the Wars of the LORD says: "...Waheb in Suphah and the ravines, the Arnon

Num.21.14

Therefore it is said in the Book of the Wars of the LORD: "Waheb in Suphah, The brooks of the Arnon,

Num.21.14

For this reason The Book of the Wars of the LORD speaks of "the town of Waheb in the area of Suphah, and the ravines; and the Arnon River

Num.21.15

Along the canyon ravines that lead to the village Ar And lean hard against the border of Moab.

Num.21.15

and the slopes of the ravines that lead to the site of Ar and lie along the border of Moab."

Then Israel sang this song: "Spring up, O well! All of you sing to it--

Num.21.17

There the Israelites sang this song: "Spring up, O well! Yes, sing about it!

Num.21.18

the well sunk by princes, Dug out by the peoples' leaders digging with their scepters and staffs. From the wilderness their route went from Mattanah

Num.21.18

about the well that the princes dug, that the nobles of the people sank- the nobles with scepters and staffs." Then they went from the desert to Mattanah,

Num.21.18

The well the leaders sank, Dug by the nation's nobles, By the lawgiver, with their staves." And from the wilderness they went to Mattanah,

Num.21.18

Sing of this well, which princes dug, which great leaders hollowed out with their scepters and staffs." Then the Israelites left the wilderness and proceeded on through Mattanah,

Num.21.19

to Nahaliel to Bamoth (The Heights)

Num.21.19

from Mattanah to Nahaliel, from Nahaliel to Bamoth,

Num.21.21

Israel sent emissaries to Sihon, king of the Amorites, saying,

Num.21.21

Israel sent messengers to say to Sihon king of the Amorites:

Num.21.21

Then Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,

Num.21.21

The Israelites now sent ambassadors to King Sihon of the Amorites with this message:

Num.21.22

"Let us cross your land. We won't trespass into your fields or drink water in your vineyards. We'll keep to the main road, the King's Road, until we're through your land."

Num.21.22

"Let us pass through your country. We will not turn aside into any field or vineyard, or drink water from any well. We will travel along the king's highway until we have passed through your territory."

Num.21.22

"Let me pass through your land. We will not turn aside into fields or vineyards; we will not drink water from wells. We will go by the King's Highway until we have passed through your territory."

Num.21.22

"Let us travel through your land. We will stay on the king's road until we have crossed your territory. We will not trample your fields or touch your vineyards or drink your well water."

Num.21.23

But Sihon wouldn't let Israel go through. Instead he got his army together and marched into the wilderness to fight Israel. At Jahaz he attacked Israel.

Num.21.23

But Sihon would not let Israel pass through his territory. He mustered his entire army and marched out into the desert against Israel. When he reached Jahaz, he fought with Israel.

Num.21.23

But Sihon would not allow Israel to pass through his territory. So Sihon gathered all his people together and went out against Israel in the wilderness, and he came to Jahaz and fought against Israel.

Num.21.23

But King Sihon refused to let them cross his land. Instead, he mobilized his entire army and attacked Israel in the wilderness, engaging them in battle at Jahaz.

Num.21.24

But Israel fought hard, beat him soundly, and took possession of his land from the Arnon all the way to the Jabbok right up to the Ammonite border. They stopped there because the Ammonite border was fortified.

Num.21.24

Israel, however, put him to the sword and took over his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, but only as far as the Ammonites, because their border was fortified.

Num.21.24

Then Israel defeated him with the edge of the sword, and took possession of his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, as far as the people of Ammon; for the border of the people of Ammon was fortified.

Num.21.24

But the Israelites slaughtered them and occupied their land from the Arnon River to the Jabbok River. They went only as far as the Ammonite border because the boundary of the Ammonites was fortified.

Num.21.25

Israel took and occupied all the Amorite cities, including Heshbon and all its surrounding villages.

Num.21.25

Israel captured all the cities of the Amorites and occupied them, including Heshbon and all its surrounding settlements.

Num.21.25

So Israel took all these cities, and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon and in all its villages.

Num.21.25

So Israel captured all the towns of the Amorites and settled in them, including the city of Heshbon and its surrounding villages.

Num.21.26

Heshbon was the capital city of Sihon king of the Amorites. He had attacked the former king of Moab and captured all his land as far north as the river Arnon.

Num.21.26

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

Num.21.26

For Heshbon was the city of Sihon king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab, and had taken all his land from his hand as far as the Arnon.

Num.21.26

Heshbon had been the capital of King Sihon of the Amorites. He had conquered a former Moabite king and seized all his land as far as the Arnon River.

Num.21.27

That is why the folk singers sing, Come to Heshbon to rebuild the city, restore Sihon's town.

Num.21.27

That is why the poets say: "Come to Heshbon and let it be rebuilt; let Sihon's city be restored.

Num.21.27

Therefore those who speak in proverbs say: "Come to Heshbon, let it be built; Let the city of Sihon be repaired.

Num.21.27

For this reason the ancient poets wrote this about him: "Come to Heshbon, city of Sihon! May it be restored and rebuilt.

Num.21.28

Fire once poured out of Heshbon, flames from the city of Sihon; Burning up Ar of Moab, the natives of Arnon's heights.

Num.21.28

"Fire went out from Heshbon, a blaze from the city of Sihon. It consumed Ar of Moab, the citizens of Arnon's heights.

Num.21.28

"For fire went out from Heshbon, A flame from the city of Sihon; It consumed Ar of Moab, The lords of the heights of the Arnon.

Num.21.28

A fire flamed forth from Heshbon, a blaze from the city of Sihon. It burned the city of Ar in Moab; it destroyed the rulers of the Arnon heights.

Num.21.29

Doom, Moab! The people of Chemosh, done for! Sons turned out as fugitives, daughters abandoned as captives to the king of the Amorites, to Sihon.

Num.21.29

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

Num.21.29

Woe to you, Moab! You have perished, O people of Chemosh! He has given his sons as fugitives, And his daughters into captivity, To Sihon king of the Amorites.

Num.21.29

Your destruction is certain, O people of Moab! You are finished, O worshipers of Chemosh! Chemosh has left his sons as refugees, and his daughters as captives of Sihon, the Amorite king.

Num.21.30

Oh, but we finished them off: Nothing left of Heshbon as far as Dibon; Devastation as far off as Nophah, scorched earth all the way to Medeba.

Num.21.30

"But we have overthrown them; Heshbon is destroyed all the way to Dibon. We have demolished them as far as Nophah, which extends to Medeba."

Num.21.30

"But we have shot at them; Heshbon has perished as far as Dibon. Then we laid waste as far as Nophah, Which reaches to Medeba."

Num.21.30

We have utterly destroyed them, all the way from Heshbon to Dibon. We have completely wiped them out as far away as Nophah and Medeba. "

Num.21.31

Israel moved in and lived in Amorite country.

Num.21.31

So Israel settled in the land of the Amorites.

Num.21.31

Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites.

Num.21.31

So the people of Israel occupied the territory of the Amorites.

Num.21.32

Moses sent men to scout out Jazer. They captured its villages and drove away the Amorites who lived there.

Num.21.32

Num.21.33

Then they turned north on the road to Bashan. Og king of Bashan marched out with his entire army to meet Moses in battle at Edrei.

Num.21.33

Then they turned and went up along the road toward Bashan, and Og king of Bashan and his whole army marched out to meet them in battle at Edrei.

Num.21.33

And they turned and went up by the way to Bashan. So Og king of Bashan went out against them, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei.

Num.21.33

Then they turned and marched toward Bashan, but King Og of Bashan and all his people attacked them at Edrei.

Num.21.34

GOD said to Moses, "Don't be afraid of him. I'm making a present of him to you, him and all his people and his land. Treat him the same as Sihon king of the Amorites who ruled in Heshbon."

Num.21.34

The LORD said to Moses, "Do not be afraid of him, for I have handed him over to you, with his whole army and his land. Do to him what you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon."

Num.21.34

Then the LORD said to Moses, "Do not fear him, for I have delivered him into your hand, with all his people and his land; and you shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon."

Num.21.34

The LORD said to Moses, "Do not be afraid of him, for I have given you victory over Og and his entire army, giving you all his land. You will do the same to him as you did to King Sihon of the Amorites, who ruled in Heshbon."

Num.21.35

So they attacked him, his sons, and all the people--there was not a single survivor. Israel took the land.

Num.21.35

So they struck him down, together with his sons and his whole army, leaving them no survivors. And they took possession of his land.

Num.21.35

So they defeated him, his sons, and all his people, until there was no survivor left him; and they took possession of his land.

Num.21.35

And Israel was victorious and killed King Og, his sons, and his subjects; not a single survivor remained. Then Israel occupied their land.

Num.22.1

The People of Israel marched on and camped on the Plains of Moab at Jordan-Jericho.

Num.22.1

Num.22.2

Now Balak son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites,

Num.22.2

Now Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites.

Num.22.2

Balak son of Zippor, the Moabite king, knew what the Israelites had done to the Amorites.

Num.22.3

The people of Moab were in a total panic because of Israel. There were so many of them! They were terrorized.

Num.22.3

and Moab was terrified because there were so many people. Indeed, Moab was filled with dread because of the Israelites.

Num.22.3

And Moab was exceedingly afraid of the people because they were many, and Moab was sick with dread because of the children of Israel.

Num.22.3

And when they saw how many Israelites there were, he and his people were terrified.

Num.22.4

Moab spoke to the leaders of Midian: "Look, this mob is going to clean us out--a bunch of crows picking a carcass clean." Balak son of Zippor, who was king of Moab at that time,

Num.22.4

The Moabites said to the elders of Midian, "This horde is going to lick up everything around us, as an ox licks up the grass of the field." So Balak son of Zippor, who was king of Moab at that time,

Num.22.4

So Moab said to the elders of Midian, "Now this company will lick up everything around us, as an ox licks up the grass of the field." And Balak the son of Zippor was king of the Moabites at that time.

Num.22.4

The king of Moab said to the leaders of Midian, "This mob will devour everything in sight, like an ox devours grass!" So Balak, king of Moab,

Num.22.5

sent emissaries to get Balaam son of Beor, who lived at Pethor on the banks of the Euphrates River, his homeland. Balak's emissaries said, "Look. A people has come up out of Egypt, and they're all over the place! And they're pressing hard on me.

Num.22.5

sent messengers to summon Balaam son of Beor, who was at Pethor, near the River, in his native land. Balak said: "A people has come out of Egypt; they cover the face of the land and have settled next to me.

Num.22.5

Then he sent messengers to Balaam the son of Beor at Pethor, which is near the River in the land of the sons of his people, to call him, saying: "Look, a people has come from Egypt. See, they cover the face of the earth, and are settling next to me!

Num.22.5

sent messengers to Balaam son of Beor, who was living in his native land of Pethor near the Euphrates River. He sent this message to request that Balaam come to help him: "A vast horde of people has arrived from Egypt. They cover the face of the earth and are threatening me.

Num.22.6

Come and curse them for me--they're too much for me. Maybe then I can beat them; we'll attack and drive them out of the country. You have a reputation: Those you bless stay blessed; those you curse stay cursed."

Num.22.6

Now come and put a curse on these people, because they are too powerful for me. Perhaps then I will be able to defeat them and drive them out of the country. For I know that those you bless are blessed, and those you curse are cursed."

Num.22.6

Therefore please come at once, curse this people for me, for they are too mighty for me. Perhaps I shall be able to defeat them and drive them out of the land, for I know that he whom you bless is blessed, and he whom you curse is cursed."

Num.22.6

Please come and curse them for me because they are so numerous. Then perhaps I will be able to conquer them and drive them from the land. I know that blessings fall on the people you bless. I also know that the people you curse are doomed."

Num.22.7

The leaders of Moab and Midian were soon on their way, with the fee for the cursing tucked safely in their wallets. When they got to Balaam, they gave him Balak's message.

Num.22.7

The elders of Moab and Midian left, taking with them the fee for divination. When they came to Balaam, they told him what Balak had said.

Num.22.7

So the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the diviner's fee in their hand, and they came to Balaam and spoke to him the words of Balak.

Num.22.7

Balak's messengers, officials of both Moab and Midian, set out and took money with them to pay Balaam to curse Israel. They went to Balaam and urgently explained to him what Balak wanted.

Num.22.8

"Stay here for the night," Balaam said. "In the morning I'll deliver the answer that GOD gives me." The Moabite nobles stayed with him.

Num.22.8

"Spend the night here," Balaam said to them, "and I will bring you back the answer the LORD gives me." So the Moabite princes stayed with him.

Num.22.8

And he said to them, "Lodge here tonight, and I will bring back word to you, as the LORD speaks to me." So the princes of Moab stayed with Balaam.

Num.22.8

"Stay here overnight," Balaam said. "In the morning I will tell you whatever the LORD directs me to say." So the officials from Moab stayed there with Balaam.

Num.22.9

Then God came to Balaam. He asked, "So who are these men here with you?"

Num.22.9

God came to Balaam and asked, "Who are these men with you?"

Num.22.9

Then God came to Balaam and said, "Who are these men with you?"

Num.22.9

That night God came to Balaam and asked him, "Who are these men with you?"

Num.22.10

Balaam answered, "Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab, sent them with a message:

Num.22.10

Balaam said to God, "Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab, sent me this message:

Num.22.10

So Balaam said to God, "Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, has sent to me, saying,

Num.22.10

So Balaam said to God, "Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab, has sent me this message:

Num.22.11

"Look, the people that came up out of Egypt are all over the place! Come and curse them for me. Maybe then I'll be able to attack and drive them out of the country.'"

Num.22.11

'A people that has come out of Egypt covers the face of the land. Now come and put a curse on them for me. Perhaps then I will be able to fight them and drive them away.'"

Num.22.11

"Look, a people has come out of Egypt, and they cover the face of the earth. Come now, curse them for me; perhaps I shall be able to overpower them and drive them out."'

Num.22.11

`A vast horde of people has come from Egypt and has spread out over the whole land. Come at once to curse them. Perhaps then I will be able to conquer them and drive them from the land.'"

Num.22.12

God said to Balaam, "Don't go with them. And don't curse the others--they are a blessed people."

Num.22.12

But God said to Balaam, "Do not go with them. You must not put a curse on those people, because they are blessed."

Num.22.12

And God said to Balaam, "You shall not go with them; you shall not curse the people, for they are blessed."

Num.22.12

"Do not go with them," God told Balaam. "You are not to curse these people, for I have blessed them!"

Num.22.13

The next morning Balaam got up and told Balak's nobles, "Go back home; GOD refuses to give me permission to go with you."

Num.22.13

The next morning Balaam got up and said to Balak's princes, "Go back to your own country, for the LORD has refused to let me go with you."

Num.22.13

So Balaam rose in the morning and said to the princes of Balak, "Go back to your land, for the LORD has refused to give me permission to go with you."

Num.22.13

The next morning Balaam got up and told Balak's officials, "Go on home! The LORD will not let me go with you."

Num.22.14

So the Moabite nobles left, came back to Balak, and said, "Balaam wouldn't come with us."

Num.22.14

So the Moabite princes returned to Balak and said, "Balaam refused to come with us."

Num.22.14

And the princes of Moab rose and went to Balak, and said, "Balaam refuses to come with us."

Num.22.14

So the Moabite officials returned to King Balak and reported, "Balaam refused to come with us."

Num.22.15

Balak sent another group of nobles, higher ranking and more distinguished.

Num.22.15

Then Balak sent other princes, more numerous and more distinguished than the first.

Num.22.15

Then Balak again sent princes, more numerous and more honorable than they.

Num.22.15

Then Balak tried again. This time he sent a larger number of even more distinguished officials than those he had sent the first time.

Num.22.16

They came to Balaam and said, "Balak son of Zippor says, "Please, don't refuse to come to me.

Num.22.16

They came to Balaam and said: "This is what Balak son of Zippor says: Do not let anything keep you from coming to me,

Num.22.16

And they came to Balaam and said to him, "Thus says Balak the son of Zippor: "Please let nothing hinder you from coming to me;

Num.22.16

They went to Balaam and gave him this message: "This is what Balak son of Zippor says: Please don't let anything stop you from coming.

Num.22.17

I will honor and reward you lavishly--anything you tell me to do, I'll do; I'll pay anything--only come and curse this people.'"

Num.22.17

because I will reward you handsomely and do whatever you say. Come and put a curse on these people for me."

Num.22.17

for I will certainly honor you greatly, and I will do whatever you say to me. Therefore please come, curse this people for me."'

Num.22.17

I will pay you well and do anything you ask of me. Just come and curse these people for me!"

Num.22.18

Balaam answered Balak's servants: "Even if Balak gave me his house stuffed with silver and gold, I wouldn't be able to defy the orders of my GOD to do anything, whether big or little.

Num.22.18
