Numbers 21



  1. When the king of Arad, the Canaanite, who dwelt in the South, heard that Israel was coming on the road to Atharim, then he fought against Israel and took some of them prisoners.
  2. So Israel made a vow to the Lord, and said, "If You will indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities."  (Gen. 28:20;   Deut. 2:34)
  3. And the Lord listened to the voice of Israel and delivered up the Canaanites, and they utterly destroyed them and their cities.  So the name of that place was called Hormah.
  4. Then they journeyed from Mount Hor by the Way of the Red Sea, to go around the land of Edom; and the soul of the people became very discouraged on the way.  (Judg. 11:18)
  5. And the people spoke against God and against Moses:  "Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness?  For there is no food and no water, and our soul loathes this worthless bread."  (Num. 20:4-5)
  6. So the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and many of the people of Israel died.
  7. Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, "We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord and against you; pray to the Lord that He take away the serpents form us."  So Moses prayed for the people.
  8. Then the Lord said to Moses, "Make a fiery serpent, and set it on a pole; and it shall be that everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, shall live."  (Is. 14:29;   Is. 30:6)
  9. So Moses made a bronze serpent, and put it on a pole; and so it was, if a serpent had bitten anyone, when he looked at the bronze serpent, he lived.  (John 3:14&15)
  10. Then Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,  (Deut. 2:26-37)
  11. "Let me pass through your land.  We will not turn aside into fields or vineyards; we will not drink water from wells; but we will go by the King's Highway until we have passed through your territory."  (Num. 20:16-17)
  12. But Sihon would not allow Israel to pass through his territory.  So Sihon gathered all his people together and went out against Israel in the wilderness, and he came to Jahaz and fought against israel.
  13. Then Israel defeated him with the edge of the sword, and took possession of his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, as far as the people of Ammon; for the border of the people of Ammon was fortified.  (Amos 2:9)
  14. And they turned and went up by the way to Bashan.  So Og king of Bashan went out against them, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei.  (Deut. 3:1;   Josh. 13:12;   Ps. 68:22)
  15. Then the Lord said to Moses, "Do not fear him, for I have delivered him into your hand, with all his people and his land; and you shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon."
  16. So they defeated him, his sons, and all his people, until there was no survivor left him; and they took possession of his land.  (Deut. 3:3-4;   Deut. 29:7)
