Numbers 21:1-5 - Arad Captured
1 The Canaanite king of Arad in the southern part of Canaan heard that the Israelites were coming by way of Atharim. So he attacked them and captured some of them. 2 Then the Israelites made a vow to Jehovah: If you will let us conquer these people, we will unconditionally dedicate them and their cities to you and will destroy them. 3 Jehovah heard them and helped them conquer the Canaanites. The Israelites completely destroyed them and their cities, and named the place Hormah.
4 They moved from Mount Hor following the road that goes to the Red Sea. That way they could go around Edom. The people became impatient on the trip 5 and criticized God and Moses. They said: Why did you make us leave Egypt only to let us die in the desert? There is no bread or water, and we cannot stand this awful food!
