擊敗迦南人
21 住在南地的迦南人亞拉得王聽說以色列人取道亞他林而來，就攻打他們，俘虜了一些人。 2 以色列人向耶和華許願說：「要是你將這些人交在我們手中，我們必徹底摧毀[a]他們的城邑。」 3 耶和華答應了他們的祈求，把迦南人交在他們手中，使他們徹底毀滅了迦南人及其城邑。從此，那地方叫何珥瑪[b]。
銅蛇
4 以色列人為了繞過以東，便從何珥山出發，沿通往紅海的路行進。途中，民眾心裡煩躁， 5 埋怨上帝和摩西說：「你們為什麼把我們從埃及帶出來，叫我們死在曠野呢？這裡無糧無水，我們厭惡這難吃的東西！」
6 於是，耶和華派毒蛇進入以色列人中，咬死了許多人。 7 他們來找摩西，說：「我們埋怨耶和華和你，犯了罪，求你向耶和華禱告，好叫這些蛇離開我們。」摩西就為他們禱告。 8 耶和華對摩西說：「你去造一條蛇掛在杆子上，凡被咬的一望這蛇，就可活命。」 9 摩西就造了一條銅蛇，掛在杆子上。被蛇咬的人一望銅蛇，就保住了性命。
前往摩押
10 以色列人繼續前行，在阿伯安營； 11 又從阿伯動身，走到摩押東邊的曠野，在以耶·亞巴琳安營； 12 又從那裡前行，走到撒烈谷安營； 13 又從那裡出發，走到亞嫩河北岸的曠野安營。那裡毗鄰亞摩利人的邊境，亞嫩河是摩押和亞摩利之間的疆界。 14 因此，耶和華的戰記上說：「蘇法的哇哈伯，亞嫩河谷， 15 以及河谷的斜坡——靠近摩押邊界並延伸到亞珥城。」
16 以色列人又往前走，來到比珥[c]。耶和華曾在那裡對摩西說：「把民眾招聚起來，我要給他們水喝。」 17 當時，以色列人唱了這首歌：
「井啊，湧出水來！
你們要歌頌這口井，
18 它是首領挖的，
是民中的貴族掘的，
用令牌和權杖挖掘的。」
他們從曠野前往瑪他拿， 19 從瑪他拿前往拿哈列，從拿哈列前往巴末， 20 從巴末前往摩押的谷地，從那裡的毗斯迦山頂可以俯視曠野。
擊敗亞摩利王和巴珊王
21 以色列人派使者去見亞摩利王西宏，說： 22 「請允許我們從貴國經過，我們只走大路，不會踏入田地和葡萄園，也不會喝井裡的水，直到走出貴國的土地。」 23 但西宏拒絕了他們的請求，並招聚軍隊到曠野攻擊他們。兩軍在雅雜交鋒。 24 以色列人殺了西宏，佔領了他的土地——從亞嫩河到雅博河，遠至防守嚴密的亞捫人邊界。 25 以色列人攻佔了亞摩利人的所有城邑，包括希實本及其周圍的村莊，住在其中。 26 希實本是亞摩利王西宏的都城。西宏曾與摩押的先王交戰，佔領了他所有的領土，遠至亞嫩河。 27 因此有人作詩說：
「來希實本吧！
重建西宏的城。
28 希實本烈焰熊熊，
西宏的城火光沖天，
燒毀摩押的亞珥，
吞噬亞嫩河的高崗。
29 摩押啊，你大禍臨頭了！
拜基抹神明的人啊，
你們要滅亡了！
基抹任由自己的兒子逃亡、
女兒被亞摩利王西宏擄走。
30 但我們擊潰了亞摩利人，
從希實本一直到底本都被摧毀，
從挪法到米底巴都淪為廢墟。」
31 於是，以色列人住在亞摩利境內。 32 摩西派人去雅謝打探，然後出兵攻佔了雅謝及其周圍的村莊，趕走那裡的亞摩利人。 33 以色列人回師前往巴珊，巴珊王噩率全軍出動，在以得來迎戰以色列人。 34 耶和華對摩西說：「不要怕他，因為我已把他及其眾民和土地交在你手中。你要像從前對付希實本的亞摩利王西宏一樣對付他。」 35 於是，以色列人殺了噩及其兒子和人民，一個不留，並奪取了他的國土。

擊敗迦南人
21 住在南地的迦南人亞拉得王，聽說以色列人從亞他林路來，就與以色列人交戰，擄了他們幾個人。 2 於是以色列人向耶和華許願，說：“如果你把這民交在我手裡，我就必把他們的城盡行毀滅。” 3 耶和華聽了以色列人的祈求，就把迦南人交給他們，於是他們把迦南人和他們的城盡行毀滅；那地方的名就叫何珥瑪。
火蛇與銅蛇
4 他們從何珥山沿著到紅海的路起行，要繞過以東地；眾民因為這條路，心裡煩躁， 5 就反抗 神和摩西，說：“你們為甚麼把我們從埃及領上來，使我們死在曠野呢？這裡沒有糧食，又沒有水，我們的心厭惡這淡薄的食物。” 6 於是耶和華打發火蛇進入人民中間；蛇咬他們，許多以色列人就死了。 7 人民來見摩西，說：“我們有罪了，因為我們出惡言攻擊耶和華和你；求你向耶和華禱告，叫這些蛇離開我們。”於是摩西為眾人禱告。 8 耶和華對摩西說：“你要做一條火蛇，掛在杆上；被咬的，一看這蛇，就必得存活。” 9 摩西就做了一條銅蛇，掛在杆上；被蛇咬了的人，一望這銅蛇，就活了。
從阿伯到毘斯迦
10 以色列人又起行，在阿伯安營。 11 再從阿伯起行，在以耶．亞巴琳安營，就是摩押對面的曠野，向日出之地。 12 他們又從那裡起行，在撒烈谷安營。 13 又從那裡起行，在亞嫩河那邊安營；這亞嫩河是在曠野，從亞摩利人的境內流出來；原來亞嫩河就是摩押的邊界，在摩押與亞摩利人之間。 14 因此，在耶和華的戰書上記著：
“在蘇法的哇哈伯，
和亞嫩河的河谷，
15 以及河谷的斜坡，
這斜坡伸展到亞珥城的地方，
就是靠近摩押邊境的。”
16 以色列人又從那裡到了比珥（“比珥”意即“井”）；從前耶和華對摩西說：“你要聚集眾民，我好把水給他們喝”，說的就是這個井。
17 那時，以色列人就唱了這首歌，說：
“井啊，湧上水來。
你們要向這井歌唱。
18 這井是領袖挖掘的，
是民間的尊貴人，
用圭用杖挖掘的。”
以色列人從曠野到了瑪他拿， 19 從瑪他拿到拿哈列，從拿哈列到巴末， 20 從巴末到摩押地的谷，又到了俯瞰荒野的毘斯迦山頂。
擊敗亞摩利王和巴珊王(A)
21 以色列人派使者去見亞摩利人的王西宏說： 22 “求你容我們從你的地經過；我們不偏入田間和葡萄園，也不喝井裡的水；我們只走大路，直到過了你的境界。” 23 西宏不容以色列人從他的境界經過，反而聚集了自己的人民，出到曠野去攻擊以色列人，西宏到了雅雜，與以色列人交戰。 24 以色列人用刀擊殺了他，佔領了他的地，從亞嫩河到雅博河，直到亞捫人那裡，因為雅謝是亞捫人的邊界（本句或譯：“因為亞捫人有堅固的邊防”）。 25 以色列人奪取了這一切城，也住在亞摩利人的各城，就是希實本，與屬於希實本的一切村莊。 26 這希實本是亞摩利人的王西宏的京城；西宏曾經與摩押以前的王交戰，從他手中奪去了所有的地，直到亞嫩河。 27 因此詩人說：
“你們來到希實本！
願西宏的城被重建，
願西宏的城堅立。
28 因為有火從希實本發出，
有火燄從西宏的城冒出，
吞滅了摩押的亞珥，
燒毀了亞嫩河的高岡（按照《馬索拉文本》，“燒毀了亞嫩河的高岡”作“亞嫩河的高岡上的業主”；現參照《七十士譯本》翻譯）。
29 摩押啊，你有禍了，
基抹的民哪，你們滅亡了；
基抹使自己的男子逃亡，
使自己的女子被擄，
交給了亞摩利人的王西宏。
30 我們射擊他們，
希實本就毀滅，直到底本。
我們使地荒涼，直到挪法，
挪法直伸到米底巴。”
31 這樣，以色列人就住在亞摩利人的地。 32 摩西派人去窺探雅謝，以色列人就佔領了雅謝的村鎮，把那裡的亞摩利人趕走。
33 以色列人回頭，沿著到巴珊的路上走；巴珊王噩和他的眾民都出來迎著以色列人，在以得來與他們交戰。 34 耶和華對摩西說：“不要怕他，因為我已經把他和他的眾民，以及他的地都交在你手裡；你要待他，像從前待那住在希實本的亞摩利人的王西宏一樣。” 35 於是，他們殺了噩和他的兒子，以及他的眾民，沒有留下一個，就佔領了他的地。

Arad Destroyed
21 When the Canaanite king of Arad,(A) who lived in the Negev,(B) heard that Israel was coming along the road to Atharim, he attacked the Israelites and captured some of them. 2 Then Israel made this vow(C) to the Lord: “If you will deliver these people into our hands, we will totally destroy[a](D) their cities.” 3 The Lord listened to Israel’s plea and gave the Canaanites(E) over to them. They completely destroyed them(F) and their towns; so the place was named Hormah.[b](G)
The Bronze Snake
4 They traveled from Mount Hor(H) along the route to the Red Sea,[c](I) to go around Edom.(J) But the people grew impatient on the way;(K) 5 they spoke against God(L) and against Moses, and said, “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt(M) to die in the wilderness?(N) There is no bread! There is no water!(O) And we detest this miserable food!”(P)
6 Then the Lord sent venomous snakes(Q) among them; they bit the people and many Israelites died.(R) 7 The people came to Moses(S) and said, “We sinned(T) when we spoke against the Lord and against you. Pray that the Lord(U) will take the snakes away from us.” So Moses prayed(V) for the people.
8 The Lord said to Moses, “Make a snake and put it up on a pole;(W) anyone who is bitten can look at it and live.” 9 So Moses made a bronze snake(X) and put it up on a pole. Then when anyone was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake, they lived.(Y)
The Journey to Moab
10 The Israelites moved on and camped at Oboth.(Z) 11 Then they set out from Oboth and camped in Iye Abarim, in the wilderness that faces Moab(AA) toward the sunrise. 12 From there they moved on and camped in the Zered Valley.(AB) 13 They set out from there and camped alongside the Arnon(AC), which is in the wilderness extending into Amorite territory. The Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.(AD) 14 That is why the Book of the Wars(AE) of the Lord says:
“. . . Zahab[d] in Suphah and the ravines,
the Arnon 15 and[e] the slopes of the ravines
that lead to the settlement of Ar(AF)
and lie along the border of Moab.”
16 From there they continued on to Beer,(AG) the well where the Lord said to Moses, “Gather the people together and I will give them water.”
17 Then Israel sang this song:(AH)
“Spring up, O well!
Sing about it,
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 wilderness to Mattanah, 19 from Mattanah to Nahaliel, from Nahaliel to Bamoth, 20 and from Bamoth to the valley in Moab where the top of Pisgah(AI) overlooks the wasteland.
Defeat of Sihon and Og
21 Israel sent messengers(AJ) to say to Sihon(AK) king of the Amorites:(AL)
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.(AM)”
23 But Sihon would not let Israel pass through his territory.(AN) He mustered his entire army and marched out into the wilderness against Israel. When he reached Jahaz,(AO) he fought with Israel.(AP) 24 Israel, however, put him to the sword(AQ) and took over his land(AR) from the Arnon to the Jabbok,(AS) but only as far as the Ammonites,(AT) because their border was fortified. 25 Israel captured all the cities of the Amorites(AU) and occupied them,(AV) including Heshbon(AW) and all its surrounding settlements. 26 Heshbon was the city of Sihon(AX) king of the Amorites,(AY) who had fought against the former king of Moab(AZ) and had taken from him all his land as far as the Arnon.(BA)
27 That is why the poets say:
“Come to Heshbon and let it be rebuilt;
let Sihon’s city be restored.
28 “Fire went out from Heshbon,
a blaze from the city of Sihon.(BB)
It consumed(BC) Ar(BD) of Moab,
the citizens of Arnon’s heights.(BE)
29 Woe to you, Moab!(BF)
You are destroyed, people of Chemosh!(BG)
He has given up his sons as fugitives(BH)
and his daughters as captives(BI)
to Sihon king of the Amorites.
30 “But we have overthrown them;
Heshbon’s dominion has been destroyed all the way to Dibon.(BJ)
We have demolished them as far as Nophah,
which extends to Medeba.(BK)”
31 So Israel settled in the land of the Amorites.(BL)
32 After Moses had sent spies(BM) to Jazer,(BN) the Israelites captured its surrounding settlements and drove out the Amorites who were there. 33 Then they turned and went up along the road toward Bashan(BO),(BP) and Og king of Bashan and his whole army marched out to meet them in battle at Edrei.(BQ)
34 The Lord said to Moses, “Do not be afraid of him, for I have delivered him into your hands, along with his whole army and his land. Do to him what you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon.(BR)”
35 So they struck him down, together with his sons and his whole army, leaving them no survivors.(BS) And they took possession of his land.(BT)

Numbers 21
King James Version
21 And when king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south, heard tell that Israel came by the way of the spies; then he fought against Israel, and took some of them prisoners.
2 And Israel vowed a vow unto the Lord, and said, If thou wilt indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities.
3 And the Lord hearkened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities: and he called the name of the place Hormah.
4 And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way.
5 And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, neither is there any water; and our soul loatheth this light bread.
6 And the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
7 Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord, and against thee; pray unto the Lord, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.
8 And the Lord said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.
9 And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.
10 And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in Oboth.
11 And they journeyed from Oboth, and pitched at Ijeabarim, in the wilderness which is before Moab, toward the sunrising.
12 From thence they removed, and pitched in the valley of Zared.
13 From thence they removed, and pitched on the other side of Arnon, which is in the wilderness that cometh out of the coasts of the Amorites: for Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.
14 Wherefore it is said in the book of the wars of the Lord, What he did in the Red sea, and in the brooks of Arnon,
15 And at the stream of the brooks that goeth down to the dwelling of Ar, and lieth upon the border of Moab.
16 And from thence they went to Beer: that is the well whereof the Lord spake unto Moses, Gather the people together, and I will give them water.
17 Then Israel sang this song, Spring up, O well; sing ye unto it:
18 The princes digged the well, the nobles of the people digged it, by the direction of the lawgiver, with their staves. And from the wilderness they went to Mattanah:
19 And from Mattanah to Nahaliel: and from Nahaliel to Bamoth:
20 And from Bamoth in the valley, that is in the country of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looketh toward Jeshimon.
21 And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,
22 Let me pass through thy land: we will not turn into the fields, or into the vineyards; we will not drink of the waters of the well: but we will go along by the king's high way, until we be past thy borders.
23 And Sihon would not suffer Israel to pass through his border: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and went out against Israel into the wilderness: and he came to Jahaz, and fought against Israel.
24 And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land from Arnon unto Jabbok, 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 Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all the villages thereof.
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, even unto Arnon.
27 Wherefore they that speak in proverbs say, Come into Heshbon, let the city of Sihon be built and prepared:
28 For there is a fire gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon: it hath consumed ar of Moab, and the lords of the high places of Arnon.
29 Woe to thee, Moab! thou art undone, O people of Chemosh: he hath given his sons that escaped, and his daughters, into captivity unto Sihon king of the Amorites.
30 We have shot at them; Heshbon is perished even unto Dibon, and we have laid them waste even unto Nophah, which reacheth unto Medeba.
31 Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites.
32 And Moses sent to spy out Jaazer, and they took the villages thereof, and drove out the Amorites that were there.
33 And they turned and went up by the way of 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 I have delivered him into thy hand, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do to him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.
35 So they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, until there was none left him alive: and they possessed his land.
