wherefore it is said in the book of the Wars of HaShem: Vaheb in Suphah, and the valleys of Arnon,

Therefore it is said in a book, A war of the Lord has set on fire Zoob, And the brooks of Arnon.

And the slope of the valleys that inclineth toward the seat of Ar, and leaneth upon the border of Moab.--

And he has appointed brooks to cause Ar to dwell [there]; And it lies near to the coasts of Moab.

Then sang Israel this song: Spring up, O well--sing ye unto it--

Then Israel sang this song at the well, Begin [to sing] of the well;

The well, which the princes digged, which the nobles of the people delved, with the sceptre, and with their staves. And from the wilderness to Mattanah;

The princes dug it, The kings of the nations in their kingdom, In their lordship sank it in the rock: and [they went] from the well to Mattanah,

and from Mattanah to Nahaliel; and from Nahaliel to Bamoth;

And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, saying:

And Moses sent ambassadors to Sihon king of the Amorites, with peaceable words, saying,

'Let me pass through thy land; we will not turn aside into field, or into vineyard; we will not drink of the water of the wells; we will go by the king's highway, until we have passed thy border.'

We will pass through thy land, we will go by the road; we will not turn aside to the field or to the vineyard.

We will not drink water out of thy well; we will go by the king’s highway, until we have past thy boundaries.

And Israel took all their cities, and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all cities belonging to it.

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 the Arnon.

For Heshbon is the city of Sihon king of the Amorites; and he before fought against the king of Moab, and they took all his land, from Aroer to Arnon.

Wherefore they that speak in parables say: Come ye to Heshbon! let the city of Sihon be built and established!

Therefore say they who deal in dark speeches, Come to Heshbon, That the city of Sihon may be built and prepared.

For a fire is gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon; it hath devoured Ar of Moab, the lords of the high places of Arnon.

For a fire has gone forth from Heshbon, A flame from the city of Sihon, And has consumed as far as Moab, And devoured the pillars of Arnon.

Woe to thee, Moab! thou art undone, O people of Chemosh; he hath given his sons as fugitives, and his daughters into captivity, unto Sihon king of the Amorites.

Woe to thee, Moab; Thou art lost, thou people of Chemosh: Their sons are sold for preservation, And their daughters are captives To Sihon king of the Amorites.

We have shot at them--Heshbon is perished--even unto Dibon, and we have laid waste even unto Nophah, which reacheth unto Medeba.

And HaShem 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, who dwelt at Heshbon.'

And the Lord said to Moses, Fear him not; for I have delivered him and all his people, and all his land, into thy hands; and thou shalt do to him as thou didst to Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon.

So they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, until there was none left him remaining; and they possessed his land.

And he smote him and his sons, and all his people, until he left none of his to be taken alive; and they inherited his land.
