Numbers 21:14-16
14Therefore it is said in the Book of the Wars of the Lord,“Waheb in Suphah, and the valleys of the Arnon,
15and the slope of the valleys
that extends to the seat of aAr,
and leans to the border of Moab.”
16And from there they continued bto Beer; ▼
▼ Beer means well
that is the well of which the Lord said to Moses, “Gather the people together, so that dI may give them water.” Numbers 21:27-30
27Therefore the eballad singers say,“Come to fHeshbon, let it be built;
let the city of Sihon be established.
28For gfire came out from hHeshbon,
flame from the city of Sihon.
It devoured iAr of Moab,
and swallowed ▼
▼Septuagint; Hebrew the lords of
the heights of the Arnon.29 kWoe to you, O Moab!
You are undone, O people of lChemosh!
He has made his sons fugitives,
and his daughters captives,
to an Amorite king, Sihon.
30So we overthrew them;
Heshbon, as far as mDibon, perished;
and we laid waste as far as Nophah;
fire spread as far as nMedeba.” ▼
▼Compare Samaritan and Septuagint; Hebrew and we laid waste as far as Nophah, which is as far as Medeba
Job 8:8-9
8 “For pinquire, please, of bygone ages,and consider what qthe fathers have searched out.
9For we are but of yesterday and know nothing,
for our days on earth are ra shadow.
Job 15:17-19
17 “I will show you; hear me,and what I have seen I will declare
18(what wise men have told,
without hiding it sfrom their fathers,
19to whom alone the land was given,
and no tstranger passed among them).
