Deuteronomy 2:26-37
26 a“So I sent messengers from the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying, 27‘Let me pass through your land, I will ▼▼ Lit go by the way
travel only on the highway; I will not turn aside to the right or to the left. 28‘You will sell me food for money so that I may eat, and give me water for money so that I may drink, conly let me pass through on ▼▼ Lit my feet
foot, 29just as the sons of Esau who live in Seir and the Moabites who live in eAr did for me, until I cross over the Jordan into the land which the Lord our God is giving to us.’ 30“But fSihon king of Heshbon was not willing for us to pass ▼▼ Lit by him
through his land; for the hLord your God hardened his spirit and made his heart obstinate, in order to deliver him into your hand, as he is today. 31“The Lord said to me, ‘See, I have begun to deliver Sihon and his land ▼▼ Lit before you
over to you. Begin to ▼▼ Lit possess
occupy, that you may possess his land.’ 32“Then Sihon ▼▼ Lit he and
with all his people came out to meet us in battle at Jahaz. 33 l“The Lord our God delivered him ▼▼ Lit before us
over to us, and we ▼▼ Lit smote
,
odefeated him with his sons and all his people. 34“So we captured all his cities at that time and ▼▼ Or put under the ban
,
qutterly destroyed ▼▼ Lit every city of man...
the men, women and children of every city. We left no survivor. 35“We took sonly the animals as our booty and the spoil of the cities which we had captured. 36“From tAroer which is on the edge of the ▼▼ Or wadi
valley of Arnon and from the city which is in the ▼▼ Or wadi
valley, even to Gilead, there was no city that was too high for us; the Lord our God delivered all ▼▼ Lit before us
over to us. 37 x“Only you did not go near to the land of the sons of Ammon, all along the ▼▼ Or wadi
river zJabbok and the cities of the hill country, and wherever the Lord our God had commanded us.
