Numbers

²⁷That is why those who speak in proverbs say,“Come to Heshbon, let it be built.Let the city of Sihon be established! ²⁸For fire went out from Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon.It has consumed Ar of Moaband the lords of the high places of Arnon. ²⁹Woe to you, Moab.You are ruined, O people of Chemosh! He has made his sons fugitives,and his daughters the prisoners of King Sihon of the Amorites. ³⁰We have overpowered them;Heshbon has perished as far as Dibon.We have shattered them as far as Nophah, which reaches to Medeba.” ³¹So the Israelites lived in the land of the Amorites. ³²Moses sent spies to reconnoiter Jaazer, and they captured its villages and dispossessed the Amorites who were there. ³³Then they turned and went up by the road to Bashan. And King Og of Bashan and all his forces marched out against them to do battle at Edrei.
