when he looked to the serpent of brass, he lived. 021:010 The children of Israel traveled, and encamped in Oboth. 021:011 They traveled from Oboth, and encamped at Iyeabarim, in the wilderness which is before Moab, toward the sunrise. 021:012 From there they traveled, and encamped in the valley of Zered. 021:013 From there they traveled, and encamped on the other side of the Arnon, which is in the wilderness, that comes out of the border of the Amorites: for the Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites. 021:014 Therefore it is said in the book of the Wars of Yahweh, "Vaheb in Suphah, the valleys of the Arnon, 021:015 the slope of the valleys that incline toward the dwelling of Ar, leans on the border of Moab." 021:016 From there they traveled to Beer: that is the well of which Yahweh said to Moses, Gather the people together, and I will give them water. 021:017 Then sang Israel this song: "Spring up, well; sing to it: 021:018 the well, which the princes dug, which the nobles of the people dug, with the scepter, and with their poles." From the wilderness [they traveled] to Mattanah; 021:019 and from Mattanah to Nahaliel; and from Nahaliel to Bamoth; 021:020 and from Bamoth to the valley that is in the field of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looks down on the desert. 021:021 Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying, 021:022 Let me pass through your land: we will not turn aside into field, or into vineyard; we will not drink of the water of the wells: we will go by the king's highway, until we have passed your border. 021:023 Sihon would not allow Israel to pass through his border: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and went out against Israel into the wilderness, and came to Jahaz; and he fought against Israel. 021:024 Israel struck him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, even to the children of Ammon; for the border of the children of Ammon was strong. 021:025 Israel took all these cities: and Israel lived in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all the towns of it. 021:026 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, even to the Arnon. 021:027 Therefore those who speak in proverbs say, "Come to Heshbon. Let the city of Sihon be built and established; 021:028 for a fire has gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon. It has devoured Ar of Moab, The lords of the high places of the Arnon. 021:029 Woe to you, Moab! You are undone, people of Chemosh! He has given his sons as fugitives, and his daughters into captivity, to Sihon king of the Amorites. 021:030 We have shot at them. Heshbon has perished even to Dibon.
