*
And when king Arad the Canaanite K @
na #
aniy #,
which dwelt in the south ,
heard tell that Israel came by the way of the spies ;
then he fought against Israel Yisra #
el #,
and took some of them prisoners .
*
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 .
*
And the LORD hearkened to the voice of Israel Yisra #
el #,
and delivered up the Canaanites K @
na #
aniy #;
and they utterly destroyed them and their cities :
and he called the name of the place Hormah .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people ,
and they bit the people ;
and much people of Israel died .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And the children of Israel set forward ,
and pitched in Oboth .
*
And they journeyed from Oboth ,
and pitched at Ijeabarim #
Iyey ha -#
Abariym #,
in the wilderness which is before Moab Mow #
ab #,
toward the sunrising mizrach #.
*
From thence they removed ,
and pitched in the valley of Zared .
*
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 Mow #
ab #,
between Moab and the Amorites .
*
Wherefore it is said in the book of the wars of the LOR ,
What he did in the Red sea ,
and in the brooks of Arnon ,
*
And at the stream of the brooks that goeth down to the dwelling of Ar ,
and lieth upon the border of Moab Mow #
ab #.
*
And from thence they went to Beer B @#
er #:
that is the well whereof the LORD spake unto Moses ,
Gatherthe people together ,
and I will give them water .
*
Then Israel sang this song ,
Spring up ,
O well @#
er #;
sing ye unto it :
*
The princes digged the well @#
er #,
the nobles of the people digged it ,
by the direction of the lawgiver ,
with their staves mish #
enah #.
And from the wilderness they went to Mattanah :
*
And from Mattanah to Nahaliel Nachaliy #
el #:
and from Nahaliel to Bamoth :
*
And from Bamoth in the valley ,
that is in the country of Moab Mow #
ab #,
to the top of Pisgah ,
which looketh toward Jeshimon .
*
And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites ,
saying ,
*
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 @#
er #:
but we will go along by the kings high way ,
until we be past thy borders .
