Deuteronomy - ch 2 v 21 - 37
- A people great and many, and of tall stature, like the Enacims whom the Lord destroyed before their face: and he made them to dwell in their stead,
- As he had done in favour of the children of Esau, that dwell in Seir, destroying the Horrhites, and delivering their land to them, which they possess to this day.
- The Hevites also, that dwelt in Haserim as far as Gaza, were expelled by the Cappadocians: who came out of Cappadocia, and destroyed them, and dwelt in their stead.
- Arise ye, and pass the torrent Arnon: Behold I have delivered into thy hand Sehon king of Hesebon the Amorrhite, and begin thou to possess his land and make war against him.
- This day will I begin to send the dread and fear of thee upon the nations that dwell under the whole heaven: that when they hear thy name they may fear and tremble, and be in pain like women in travail.
- So I sent messengers from the wilderness of Cademoth to Sehon the king of Hesebon with peaceable words, saying:
- We will pass through thy land, we will go along by the highway: we will not turn aside neither to the right hand nor to the left.
- Sell us meat for money, that we may eat: give us water for money and so we will drink. We only ask that thou wilt let us pass through,
- As the children of Esau have done, that dwell in Seir, and the Moabites, that abide in Ar: until we come to the Jordan, and pass to the land which the Lord our God will give us.
- And Sehon the king of Hesebon would not let us pass: because the Lord thy God had hardened his spirit, and fixed his heart, that he might be delivered into thy hands, as now thou seest.
- And the Lord said to me: Behold I have begun to deliver unto thee Sehon and his land, begin to possess it.
- And Sehon came out to meet us with all his people to fight at Jasa.
- And the Lord our God delivered him to us: and we slew him with his sons and all his people.
- And we took all his cities at that time, killing the inhabitants of them, men and women and children. We left nothing of them:
- Except the cattle which came to the share of them that took them: and the spoils of the cities, which we took:
- From Aroer, which is upon the bank of the torrent Amen, a town that is situate in a valley, as far as Galaad. There was not a village or city, that escaped our hands: the Lord our God delivered all unto us:
- Except the land of the children of Ammon, to which we approached not: and all that border upon the torrent Jeboc, and the cities in the mountains, and all the places which the Lord our God forbade us.
