King Sihon Defeated
21 Then (A)Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying, 22 (B)“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.” 23 (C)But Sihon would not allow Israel to pass through his territory. He gathered all his people together and went out against Israel to the wilderness and (D)came to Jahaz and fought against Israel. 24 (E)And Israel defeated him with the edge of the sword and took possession of his land from the Arnon to the (F)Jabbok, as far as to the Ammonites, for the border of the Ammonites was strong. 25 And Israel took all these cities, and Israel settled in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all its villages. 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. 27 Therefore the (G)ballad singers say,
“Come to (H)Heshbon, let it be built;
let the city of Sihon be established.
28 For (I)fire came out from (J)Heshbon,
flame from the city of Sihon.
It devoured (K)Ar of Moab,
and swallowed[a] the heights of the Arnon.
29 (L)Woe to you, O Moab!
You are undone, O people of (M)Chemosh!
He has made his sons fugitives,
and his daughters captives,
to an Amorite king, Sihon.
30 So we overthrew them;
Heshbon, as far as (N)Dibon, perished;
and we laid waste as far as Nophah;
fire spread as far as (O)Medeba.”[b]
King Og Defeated
31 Thus Israel lived in the land of the Amorites. 32 And Moses sent to spy out (P)Jazer, and they captured its villages and dispossessed the Amorites who were there. 33 Then they turned and went up by the way to Bashan. And Og the king of Bashan came out against them, he and all his people, to battle (Q)at Edrei. 34 (R)But the Lord said to Moses, “Do not fear him, for I have given him into your hand, and all his people, and his land. And (S)you shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon.” 35 So they defeated him and his sons and all his people, until he had no survivor left. And they possessed his land.

Defeat of Sihon and Og
21 Israel sent messengers(A) to say to Sihon(B) king of the Amorites:(C)
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.(D)”
23 But Sihon would not let Israel pass through his territory.(E) He mustered his entire army and marched out into the wilderness against Israel. When he reached Jahaz,(F) he fought with Israel.(G) 24 Israel, however, put him to the sword(H) and took over his land(I) from the Arnon to the Jabbok,(J) but only as far as the Ammonites,(K) because their border was fortified. 25 Israel captured all the cities of the Amorites(L) and occupied them,(M) including Heshbon(N) and all its surrounding settlements. 26 Heshbon was the city of Sihon(O) king of the Amorites,(P) who had fought against the former king of Moab(Q) and had taken from him all his land as far as the Arnon.(R)
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.(S)
It consumed(T) Ar(U) of Moab,
the citizens of Arnon’s heights.(V)
29 Woe to you, Moab!(W)
You are destroyed, people of Chemosh!(X)
He has given up his sons as fugitives(Y)
and his daughters as captives(Z)
to Sihon king of the Amorites.
30 “But we have overthrown them;
Heshbon’s dominion has been destroyed all the way to Dibon.(AA)
We have demolished them as far as Nophah,
which extends to Medeba.(AB)”
31 So Israel settled in the land of the Amorites.(AC)
32 After Moses had sent spies(AD) to Jazer,(AE) 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(AF),(AG) and Og king of Bashan and his whole army marched out to meet them in battle at Edrei.(AH)
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.(AI)”
35 So they struck him down, together with his sons and his whole army, leaving them no survivors.(AJ) And they took possession of his land.(AK)
Deuteronomy 2:30-3:8
English Standard Version
Deuteronomy 2:30-3:8
English Standard Version
30 But (A)Sihon the king of (B)Heshbon would not let us pass by him, for the Lord your God (C)hardened his spirit and made his heart obstinate, that he might give him into your hand, as he is this day. 31 And the Lord said to me, ‘Behold, I have begun to give Sihon and his land over to you. Begin to take possession, that you may occupy his land.’ 32 Then (D)Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Jahaz. 33 And (E)the Lord our God gave him over to us, and (F)we defeated him and his sons and all his people. 34 And we captured all his cities at that time and devoted to destruction[a] every (G)city, men, women, and children. We left no survivors. 35 Only the livestock we took as spoil for ourselves, with the plunder of the cities that we captured. 36 (H)From Aroer, which is on the edge of the Valley of the Arnon, and from (I)the city that is in the valley, as far as Gilead, there was not a city too high for us. (J)The Lord our God gave all into our hands. 37 Only to the land of the sons of Ammon you did not draw near, that is, to all the banks of the river (K)Jabbok and the cities of the hill country, whatever the Lord our God had forbidden us.
The Defeat of King Og
3 “Then we turned and went up the way to Bashan. And (L)Og the king of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at (M)Edrei. 2 But the Lord said to me, ‘Do not fear him, for I have given him and all his people and his land into your hand. And you shall do to him as you did to (N)Sihon the king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon.’ 3 So the Lord our God gave into our hand Og also, the king of Bashan, and all his people, (O)and we struck him down until he had no survivor left. 4 And we took all his cities at that time—there was not a city that we did not take from them—sixty cities, (P)the whole region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan. 5 All these were cities fortified with high walls, gates, and bars, besides very many unwalled villages. 6 And (Q)we devoted them to destruction,[b] as we did to Sihon the king of Heshbon, devoting to destruction every (R)city, men, women, and children. 7 But all the livestock and the spoil of the cities we took as our plunder. 8 So we took the land at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, from the Valley of the Arnon to Mount Hermon

New International Version
Deuteronomy 2:30-3:8
New International Version
30 But Sihon king of Heshbon refused to let us pass through. For the Lord(A) your God had made his spirit stubborn(B) and his heart obstinate(C) in order to give him into your hands,(D) as he has now done.
31 The Lord said to me, “See, I have begun to deliver Sihon and his country over to you. Now begin to conquer and possess his land.”(E)
32 When Sihon and all his army came out to meet us in battle(F) at Jahaz, 33 the Lord our God delivered(G) him over to us and we struck him down,(H) together with his sons and his whole army. 34 At that time we took all his towns and completely destroyed[a](I) them—men, women and children. We left no survivors. 35 But the livestock(J) and the plunder(K) from the towns we had captured we carried off for ourselves. 36 From Aroer(L) on the rim of the Arnon Gorge, and from the town in the gorge, even as far as Gilead,(M) not one town was too strong for us. The Lord our God gave(N) us all of them. 37 But in accordance with the command of the Lord our God,(O) you did not encroach on any of the land of the Ammonites,(P) neither the land along the course of the Jabbok(Q) nor that around the towns in the hills.
Defeat of Og King of Bashan
3 Next we turned and went up along the road toward Bashan, and Og king of Bashan(R) with his whole army marched out to meet us in battle at Edrei.(S) 2 The Lord said to me, “Do not be afraid(T) 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.”
3 So the Lord our God also gave into our hands Og king of Bashan and all his army. We struck them down,(U) leaving no survivors.(V) 4 At that time we took all his cities.(W) There was not one of the sixty cities that we did not take from them—the whole region of Argob, Og’s kingdom(X) in Bashan.(Y) 5 All these cities were fortified with high walls and with gates and bars, and there were also a great many unwalled villages. 6 We completely destroyed[b] them, as we had done with Sihon king of Heshbon, destroying[c](Z) every city—men, women and children. 7 But all the livestock(AA) and the plunder from their cities we carried off for ourselves.
8 So at that time we took from these two kings of the Amorites(AB) the territory east of the Jordan, from the Arnon Gorge as far as Mount Hermon.(AC)

21 Then Moses (A)stretched out his hand over the sea, and the Lord drove the sea back by (B)a strong east wind all night and (C)made the sea dry land, and the waters were (D)divided. 22 And (E)the people of Israel went into the midst of the sea on dry ground, the waters being (F)a wall to them on their right hand and on their left. 23 The Egyptians pursued and went in after them into the midst of the sea, all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen. 24 And in the morning watch the Lord in the pillar of fire and of cloud looked down on the Egyptian forces and threw the Egyptian forces into a panic, 25 clogging[a] their chariot wheels so that they drove heavily. And the Egyptians said, “Let us flee from before Israel, for the (G)Lord fights for them against the Egyptians.”
26 Then the Lord said to Moses, (H)“Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the water may come back upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.” 27 (I)So Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea (J)returned to its normal course when the morning appeared. And as the Egyptians fled into it, the Lord (K)threw[b] the Egyptians into the midst of the sea. 28 The (L)waters returned and covered the chariots and the horsemen; of all the host of Pharaoh that had followed them into the sea, (M)not one of them remained. 29 But the (N)people of Israel walked on dry ground through the sea, the waters being a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.
30 Thus the Lord (O)saved Israel that day from the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore. 31 (P)Israel saw the great power that the Lord used against the Egyptians, so the people feared the Lord, and they (Q)believed in the Lord and in his servant Moses.

21 Then Moses stretched out his hand(A) over the sea,(B) and all that night the Lord drove the sea back with a strong east wind(C) and turned it into dry land.(D) The waters were divided,(E) 22 and the Israelites went through the sea(F) on dry ground,(G) with a wall(H) of water on their right and on their left.
23 The Egyptians pursued them, and all Pharaoh’s horses and chariots and horsemen(I) followed them into the sea. 24 During the last watch of the night the Lord looked down from the pillar of fire and cloud(J) at the Egyptian army and threw it into confusion.(K) 25 He jammed[a] the wheels of their chariots so that they had difficulty driving. And the Egyptians said, “Let’s get away from the Israelites! The Lord is fighting(L) for them against Egypt.”(M)
26 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea so that the waters may flow back over the Egyptians and their chariots and horsemen.” 27 Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and at daybreak the sea went back to its place.(N) The Egyptians were fleeing toward[b] it, and the Lord swept them into the sea.(O) 28 The water flowed back and covered the chariots and horsemen—the entire army of Pharaoh that had followed the Israelites into the sea.(P) Not one of them survived.(Q)
29 But the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground,(R) with a wall(S) of water on their right and on their left. 30 That day the Lord saved(T) Israel from the hands of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians lying dead on the shore. 31 And when the Israelites saw the mighty hand(U) of the Lord displayed against the Egyptians, the people feared(V) the Lord and put their trust(W) in him and in Moses his servant.
