4 They set out from Mount Hor [by] the way of the {Red Sea} to go around the land of Edom; but {the people became impatient} along the way.
4 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.

5 The people spoke against God and against Moses, "Why have you brought us from Egypt to die in the desert? There is no food and no water, and our hearts detest [this] miserable food."
5 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.
5 The people spoke against God and Moses, “(E)Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no (h)food and no water, and (i)(F)we loathe this miserable food.”
5 The people spoke against God and Moses: “Why have you led us up from Egypt to die in the wilderness? There is no bread or water, and we detest this wretched food!”
5 the people complained against the LORD and Moses. "Why did you bring us out of Egypt to die in the wilderness?" they asked. "There's no food and water, and we're tired of this worthless bread."

6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
6 (G)The Lord sent fiery serpents among the people and (H)they bit the people, so that (I)many people of Israel died.
6 Then the Lord sent poisonous(c)(d) snakes among the people, and they bit them so that many Israelites died.(D)
6 In response, the LORD sent poisonous serpents among the people to bite them. As a result, many people of Israel died.
7 The people came to Moses and said, "We have sinned because we have spoken against Yahweh and against you. Pray to Yahweh and let him remove the snakes from among us." So Moses prayed for the people.
7 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.
7 (J)So the people came to Moses and said, “We have sinned, because we have spoken against the Lord and you; (K)intercede with the Lord, that He may remove the serpents from us.” And Moses interceded for the people.
7 The people then came to Moses and said, “We have sinned by speaking against the Lord and against you. Intercede with the Lord so that He will take the snakes away from us.” And Moses interceded for the people.

Journey Around Moab
11 They set out from Oboth and encamped at Iye Abarim in the desert, which [was] in front of Moab {toward the sunrise}.
11 And they journeyed from Oboth, and pitched at Ijeabarim, in the wilderness which is before Moab, toward the sunrising.
11 They journeyed from Oboth and camped at Iye-abarim, in the wilderness which is opposite Moab, to the (k)east.
11 They set out from Oboth and camped at Iye-abarim in the wilderness that borders Moab on the east.
11 Then they traveled from Oboth and encamped at Iye-abarim, in the wilderness that is in the vicinity of Moab's eastern border.
13 From there they set out and encamped beyond Arnon, which [is] in the desert that goes out from the boundary of the Amorites, because Arnon [is] the boundary of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.
13 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, between Moab and the Amorites.
13 From there they journeyed and camped on the other side of the Arnon, which is in the wilderness that comes out of the border of the Amorites, (P)for the Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.
13 They set out from there and camped on the other side of the Arnon River, in the wilderness that extends from the Amorite border, because the Arnon was the Moabite border between Moab and the Amorites.
13 Then they traveled to the other side of Arnon and camped in the wilderness that borders the territory of the Amorites. (Arnon borders Moab between Moab and the Amorites,
14 Therefore thus it is said in the scroll of the Wars of Yahweh, "Waheb in Suphah, and the wadis of Arnon,
14 Wherefore it is said in the book of the wars of the LORD, What he did in the Red sea, and in the brooks of Arnon,
14 Therefore it is said in the Book of the Wars of the Lord,“Waheb in Suphah,And the wadis of the Arnon,
14 Therefore it is stated in the Book of the Lord’s Wars:Waheb(e) in Suphahand the ravines of the Arnon,
14 which is why the Book of the Wars of the LORD reads, "Waheb and Suphah and the wadis of the Arnon,
15 and the slope of the wadis that spreads out to the dwelling of Ar and lies at the boundary of Moab."
15 And at the stream of the brooks that goeth down to the dwelling of Ar, and lieth upon the border of Moab.
15 even the slopes of the ravinesthat extend to the site of Ar(f)(G)and lie along the border of Moab.
15 and the slope of the valleys, that extends to the dwelling places of Ar and the borders of Moab.")
16 From there [they went] to Beer, which is the water well where Yahweh spoke to Moses, "Gather the people, that I may give them water."
16 And from thence they went to Beer: that is the well whereof the LORD spake unto Moses, Gather the people together, and I will give them water.
16 (R)From there they continued to (m)Beer, that is the well where the Lord said to Moses, “Assemble the people, that I may give them water.”
16 From there they went to Beer,(g) the well the Lord told Moses about, “Gather the people so I may give them water.”
16 From there they traveled to the Well of Beer, where the LORD had instructed Moses, "Gather the people together and I'll give you water."
18 Well water that the princes dug, that the leaders of the people dug, with a staff [and] with their rods." And from [the] desert [they continued to] Mattanah,
18 The princes digged the well, the nobles of the people digged it, by the direction of the lawgiver, with their staves. And from the wilderness they went to Mattanah:
18 “The well, which the leaders sank,Which the nobles of the people dug,With the scepter and with their staffs.”And from the wilderness they continued to Mattanah,
18 The princes dug the well;the nobles of the people hollowed it outwith a scepter and with their staffs.They went from the wilderness to Mattanah,
18 It's the well that the leaders dug, the one carved out by the nobles of the people with their scepters and staffs.
19 and from Mattanah [to] Nahaliel, and from Nahaliel [to] Bamoth;
19 And from Mattanah to Nahaliel: and from Nahaliel to Bamoth:
19 and from Mattanah to Nahaliel, and from Nahaliel to Bamoth,
19 from Mattanah to Nahaliel, from Nahaliel to Bamoth,
19 Then they moved on in the wilderness from there to Mattanah, then from Mattanah to Nahaliel, from Nahaliel to Bamoth,
20 and from Bamoth to the valley that [is] in the territory of Moab, [by] the top of Pisgah, which overlooks the surface of the wasteland.
20 And from Bamoth in the valley, that is in the country of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looketh toward Jeshimon.
20 and from Bamoth to the valley that is in the land of Moab, at the top of Pisgah which overlooks the (n)wasteland.
20 from Bamoth to the valley in the territory of Moab near the Pisgah highlands(h)(H) that overlook the wasteland.(i)(I)
20 and from Bamoth to the valley of Moab where their fields are, and from there to the top of Mount Pisgah, that looks down toward the open desert.
Amorite Kings Defeated
22 "Let us go through your land; we will not turn aside into a field or vineyard; we will not drink well water along the way of the king until we have gone through your territory."
22 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: but we will go along by the king's high way, until we be past thy borders.
22 “(U)Let me pass through your land. We will not turn off into field or vineyard; we will not drink water from wells. We will go by the king’s highway until we have passed through your border.”
22 “Let us travel through your land. We won’t go into the fields or vineyards. We won’t drink any well water. We will travel the King’s Highway until we have traveled through your territory.”(K)
22 "Permit us to pass through your land. We won't trespass in your fields or vineyards. We won't drink water from any well, and we'll only travel along the King's Highway until we've passed through your territory."
23 But Sihon did not allow Israel to go through his territory. Sihon gathered all his people and went out to meet Israel; he came [to] the desert, to Jahaz, and he fought against Israel.
23 And Sihon would not suffer Israel to pass through his border: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and went out against Israel into the wilderness: and he came to Jahaz, and fought against Israel.
23 (V)But Sihon would not permit Israel to pass through his border. So Sihon gathered all his people and went out against Israel in the wilderness, and came to (W)Jahaz and fought against Israel.
23 But Sihon would not let Israel travel through his territory. Instead, he gathered his whole army and went out to confront Israel in the wilderness. When he came to Jahaz,(L) he fought against Israel.
23 Instead of letting Israel pass through his territory, Sihon mustered his entire army and marched out to meet them in the wilderness. He arrived at Jahaz and attacked Israel.
24 But Israel struck him with [the] edge of [the] sword, and they took possession of his land from Arnon to Jabbok, until the {Ammonites}, because the boundary of the {Ammonites} [was] strong.
24 And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land from Arnon unto Jabbok, even unto the children of Ammon: for the border of the children of Ammon was strong.
24 Then (X)Israel (o)struck him with the edge of the sword, and took possession of his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, as far as the sons of Ammon; for the (Y)border of the sons of Ammon was (p)Jazer.
24 Israel struck him with the sword and took possession of his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok,(M) but only up to the Ammonite border, because it was fortified.(j)(k)
24 But Israel defeated him in battle and took possession of all his lands from Arnon to Jabbok, including the Ammonites, even though the border of the Ammonites was strong.
25 Israel took all these cities, and Israel inhabited all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all its environs.
25 And Israel took all these cities: and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all the villages thereof.
25 Israel took all these cities and (Z)Israel lived in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all her (q)villages.
25 Israel took all the cities and lived in all these Amorite cities, including Heshbon and all its villages.
25 So Israel captured all of those cities, occupied all the Amorite cities in Heshbon, and all its towns.
26 Because Heshbon [was] the city of Sihon king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab and taken all his land from his hand until Arnon.
26 For 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, even unto Arnon.
26 For Heshbon was the city of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab and had taken all his land out of his hand, as far as the Arnon.
26 Heshbon was the city of Sihon king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab and had taken control of all his land as far as the Arnon.
26 Heshbon was the capital city of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who fought against the previous king of Moab and captured all his land from his capital city to Arnon.
27 Thus the ones who quote proverbs say, "Come [to] Heshbon! Let it be built! And let the city of Sihon be established.
27 Wherefore they that speak in proverbs say, Come into Heshbon, let the city of Sihon be built and prepared:
27 Therefore those who use proverbs say,“Come to Heshbon! Let it be built!So let the city of Sihon be established.
27 Therefore the poets(l) say:Come to Heshbon, let it be rebuilt;let the city of Sihon be restored.(m)
27 Therefore the ones who speak in proverbs say: Come to Heshbon and let it be built! Let the city of Sihon be established!
28 Because fire went out from Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon; it consumed Ar of Moab, the lords of the high places of Arnon.
28 For there is a fire gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon: it hath consumed Ar of Moab, and the lords of the high places of Arnon.
28 “(AA)For a fire went forth from Heshbon,A flame from the town of Sihon;It devoured (AB)Ar of Moab,The (r)(AC)dominant (s)heights of the Arnon.
28 For fire came out of Heshbon,a flame from the city of Sihon.It consumed Ar of Moab,the lords of(n) Arnon’s heights.
28 A fire has gone out from Heshbon, and a flame from the city of Sihon. It consumed Ar of Moab and the lords of the high places who lived in Arnon.
29 Woe to you, Moab! You have perished, people of Chemosh. He has given his sons as fugitives, and his daughters into captivity, to the king of the Amorites, Sihon.
29 Woe to thee, Moab! thou art undone, O people of Chemosh: he hath given his sons that escaped, and his daughters, into captivity unto Sihon king of the Amorites.
29 “(AD)Woe to you, O Moab!You are ruined, O people of (AE)Chemosh!(AF)He has given his sons as fugitives,(AG)And his daughters into captivity,To an Amorite king, Sihon.
29 Woe to you, Moab!You have been destroyed, people of Chemosh!(N)He gave up his sons as refugees,and his daughters into captivityto Sihon the Amorite king.
29 Woe to you, Moab! You are destroyed, you people of Chemosh! He has given up his sons as fugitives and his daughters have gone into captivity to Sihon, king of the Amorites.
30 We destroyed them; Heshbon has perished up to Dibon; we laid waste up to Nophah, which {reaches} Medeba."
30 We have shot at them; Heshbon is perished even unto Dibon, and we have laid them waste even unto Nophah, which reacheth unto Medeba.
30 “But we have cast them down,Heshbon is ruined as far as (AH)Dibon,Then we have laid waste even to Nophah,Which reaches to Medeba.”
30 We threw them down;Heshbon has been destroyed as far as Dibon.(o)(O)We caused desolation as far as Nophah,which reaches as far as Medeba.(p)(P)
30 We've fired at them. Heshbon has perished as far as Dibon. We've destroyed them as far as Nophah even as far as Medeba.

32 And Moses sent to spy out Jaazer, and they took the villages thereof, and drove out the Amorites that were there.
32 Moses sent to spy out (AI)Jazer, and they captured its villages and dispossessed the Amorites who were there.

32 Then Moses sent out explorers to scout Jazer. They captured its towns and drove out the Amorites who were there.
33 Then they turned and went up [by] the way of the Bashan, and Og king of the Bashan and all his people went out to meet them for battle [at] Edrei.
33 And they turned and went up by the way of Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan went out against them, he, and all his people, to the battle at Edrei.
33 (AJ)Then they turned and went up by the way of Bashan, and Og the king of Bashan went out (t)with all his people, for battle at (AK)Edrei.
33 Then they turned and went up the road to Bashan, and Og king of Bashan(Q) came out against them with his whole army to do battle at Edrei.(R)
33 Then they turned toward Bashan. However, Og, the king of Bashan, mustered his army and went out to attack them at Edrei.
34 And Yahweh said to Moses, "Do not fear him because I will give him and all his people and all his land into your hand. You will do to him just as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who was living in Heshbon."
34 And the LORD said unto Moses, Fear him not: for I have delivered him into thy hand, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do to him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.
34 But the Lord said to Moses, “(AL)Do not fear him, for I have given him into your hand, and all his people and his land; and you shall do to him as you did to Sihon, king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon.”
34 But the Lord said to Moses, “Do not fear him, for I have handed him over to you along with his whole army and his land. Do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon.”(S)
34 The LORD told Moses, "You are not to fear him, because I'm going to deliver him, his entire army, and his land into your control. Do to him just what you've done to Sihon, king of the Amorites, who used to live in Heshbon."
35 And so they destroyed him and his sons, and all his people until they had not spared a survivor; and they took possession of his land.
35 So they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, until there was none left him alive: and they possessed his land.
35 So (AM)they (u)killed him and his sons and all his people, until there was no remnant left him; and they possessed his land.
