10 For we have heard how the Lord (A)dried up the water of the Red Sea for you when you came out of Egypt, and (B)what you did to the two kings of the Amorites who were on the other side of the Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom you (C)utterly destroyed.

King Sihon Defeated(A)

21 Then (B)Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying, 22 (C)“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.” 23 (D)But Sihon would not allow Israel to pass through his territory. So Sihon gathered all his people together and [a]went out against Israel in the wilderness, (E)and he came to Jahaz and fought against Israel. 24 Then (F)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. 25 So Israel took all these cities, and Israel (G)dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon and in all its villages. 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. 27 Therefore those who speak in [b]proverbs say:

“Come to Heshbon, let it be built;
Let the city of Sihon be repaired.

28 “For (H)fire went out from Heshbon,
A flame from the city of Sihon;
It consumed (I)Ar of Moab,
The lords of the (J)heights of the Arnon.
29 Woe to you, (K)Moab!
You have perished, O people of (L)Chemosh!
He has given his (M)sons as fugitives,
And his (N)daughters into captivity,
To Sihon king of the Amorites.

30 “But we have shot at them;
Heshbon has perished (O)as far as Dibon.
Then we laid waste as far as Nophah,
Which reaches to (P)Medeba.”

31 Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites. 32 Then Moses sent to [c]spy out (Q)Jazer; and they took its villages and drove out the Amorites who were there.

King Og Defeated(R)

33 (S)And they turned and went up by the way to (T)Bashan. So Og king of Bashan went out against them, he and all his people, to battle (U)at Edrei. 34 Then the Lord said to Moses, (V)“Do not fear him, for I have [d]delivered him into your hand, with all his people and his land; and (W)you shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon.” 35 (X)So they defeated him, his sons, and all his people, until there was no survivor left him; and they took possession of his land.

30 (A)“But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass through, for (B)the Lord your God (C)hardened his spirit and made his heart obstinate, that He might deliver him into your hand, as it is this day.

31 “And the Lord said to me, ‘See, I have begun to (D)give Sihon and his land over to you. Begin to possess it, that you may inherit his land.’ 32 (E)Then Sihon and all his people came out against us to fight at Jahaz. 33 And (F)the Lord our God delivered him [a]over to us; so (G)we defeated him, his sons, and all his people. 34 We took all his cities at that time, and we (H)utterly destroyed the men, women, and little ones of every city; we left none remaining. 35 We took only the livestock as plunder for ourselves, with the spoil of the cities which we took. 36 (I)From Aroer, which is on the bank of the River Arnon, and from (J)the city that is in the ravine, as far as Gilead, there was not one city too strong for us; (K)the Lord our God delivered all to us. 37 Only you did not go near the land of the people of Ammon—anywhere along the River (L)Jabbok, or to the cities of the mountains, or (M)wherever the Lord our God had forbidden us.

King Og Defeated(N)

“Then we turned and went up the road to Bashan; and (O)Og king of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, to battle (P)at Edrei. And the Lord said to me, ‘Do not fear him, for I have delivered him and all his people and his land into your hand; you shall do to him as you did to (Q)Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon.’

“So the Lord our God also delivered into our hands Og king of Bashan, with all his people, and we [b]attacked him until he had no survivors remaining. And we took all his cities at that time; there was not a city which we did not take from them: sixty cities, (R)all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan. All these cities were fortified with high walls, gates, and bars, besides a great many rural towns. And we utterly destroyed them, as we did to Sihon king (S)of Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, women, and children of every city. But all the livestock and the spoil of the cities we took as booty for ourselves.

“And at that time we took the (T)land from the hand of the two kings of the Amorites who were on this side of the Jordan, from the River Arnon to Mount (U)Hermon

  1. Exodus 15:14 Anguish

21 Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and (A)made the sea into dry land, and the waters were (B)divided. 22 So (C)the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry ground, and the waters were (D)a wall to them on their right hand and on their left. 23 And the Egyptians pursued and went after them into the midst of the sea, all Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.

24 Now it came to pass, in the morning (E)watch, that (F)the Lord looked down upon the army of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and cloud, and He [a]troubled the army of the Egyptians. 25 And He [b]took off their chariot wheels, so that they drove them with difficulty; and the Egyptians said, “Let us flee from the face of Israel, for the Lord (G)fights for them against the Egyptians.”

26 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the waters may come back upon the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on their horsemen.” 27 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and when the morning appeared, the sea (H)returned to its full depth, while the Egyptians were fleeing into it. So the Lord (I)overthrew[c] the Egyptians in the midst of the sea. 28 Then (J)the waters returned and covered the chariots, the horsemen, and all the army of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them. Not so much as one of them remained. 29 But (K)the children of Israel had walked on dry land in the midst of the sea, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.

30 So the Lord (L)saved[d] Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel (M)saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore. 31 Thus Israel saw the great [e]work which the Lord had done in Egypt; so the people feared the Lord, and (N)believed the Lord and His servant Moses.
