Genesis 48:22
22Moreover, I have given to ayou rather than to your brothers one mountain slope ▼▼Or one portion of the land; Hebrew shekem, which sounds like the town and district called Shechem
that I took from the hand of the Amorites with my sword and with my bow.” Numbers 21:21-32
King Sihon Defeated
21Then cIsrael sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying, 22 d“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 eBut 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 fcame to Jahaz and fought against Israel. 24 gAnd Israel defeated him with the edge of the sword and took possession of his land from the Arnon to the hJabbok, as far as to the Ammonites, for the border of the Ammonites was strong. 25And Israel took all these cities, and Israel settled in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all its villages. 26For 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. 27Therefore the iballad singers say,“Come to jHeshbon, let it be built;
let the city of Sihon be established.
28For kfire came out from lHeshbon,
flame from the city of Sihon.
It devoured mAr of Moab,
and swallowed ▼
▼Septuagint; Hebrew the lords of
the heights of the Arnon.29 oWoe to you, O Moab!
You are undone, O people of pChemosh!
He has made his sons fugitives,
and his daughters captives,
to an Amorite king, Sihon.
30So we overthrew them;
Heshbon, as far as qDibon, perished;
and we laid waste as far as Nophah;
fire spread as far as rMedeba.” ▼
▼Compare Samaritan and Septuagint; Hebrew and we laid waste as far as Nophah, which is as far as Medeba
King Og Defeated
31Thus Israel lived in the land of the Amorites. 32And Moses sent to spy out tJazer, and they captured its villages and dispossessed the Amorites who were there.Deuteronomy 20:17
17but uyou shall devote them to complete destruction, ▼▼That is, set apart ( devote) as an offering to the Lord (for destruction)
the Hittites and the Amorites, the Canaanites and the Perizzites, the Hivites and the Jebusites, as the Lord your God has commanded, Joshua 3:10
10And Joshua said, “Here is how you shall know that wthe living God is among you and that he will without fail xdrive out from before you the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Hivites, the Perizzites, the Girgashites, the Amorites, and the Jebusites.Joshua 24:15
15 yAnd if it is evil in your eyes to serve the Lord, zchoose this day whom you will serve, whether aathe gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or abthe gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell. acBut as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”2 Samuel 21:2
2So the king called the Gibeonites and spoke to them. Now the Gibeonites were not of the people of Israel but adof the remnant of the Amorites. Although the people of Israel had sworn to spare them, Saul had sought to strike them down in his zeal for the people of Israel and Judah.
