^23 (A)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 ^(B)came to Jahaz and fought against Israel.

²⁰ but Sihon did not trust Israel to pass through his territory, so Sihon gathered all his people together and encamped at Jahaz and fought with Israel.

⁷ And when you came to this place, ^(A)Sihon the king of Heshbon and Og the king of Bashan came out against us to battle, but we defeated them. ⁸ We took their land and ^(B)gave it for an inheritance to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of the Manassites.

^34 (A)“From the outcry at Heshbon even to Elealeh, as far as Jahaz they utter their voice, from Zoar to ^(B)Horonaim and Eglath-shelishiyah. For the waters of Nimrim also have become desolate.

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.

²¹ Thus Edom ^(A)refused to give Israel passage through his territory, so Israel ^(B)turned away from him.
