³⁵So they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, until there was none left him alive: and they possessed his land.

²¹¶ And Israel sent messengers vnto Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,

^22*Let me passe thorow thy land, we will not turne into the fields, or into the vineyards, we will not drinke of the waters of the well: but we will goe along by the kings high way, vntill wee be past thy borders.

^23*And Sihon would not suffer Israel to passe thorow his border: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and went out against Israel into the wildernes: and he came to Iahaz, and fought against Israel.

²⁴And ^*Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land from Arnon vnto Iabok, euen vnto the children of Ammon: for the border of the children of Ammon was strong.

²⁵And Israel tooke all these cities: and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all the ^†villages thereof.

²⁶For Heshbon was the citie 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, euen vnto Arnon.

²⁷Wherefore they that speake in prouerbes, say, Come into Heshbon: let the citie of Sihon bee built and prepared.

²⁸For there is a fire gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the citie of Sihon: it hath consumed Ar of Moab, and the lordes of the high places of Arnon.

²⁹Woe to thee, Moab, thou art vndone, O people of ^*Chemosh: he hath giuen his sonnes that escaped, and his daughters, into captiuitie vnto Sihon King of the Amorites.

³⁰We haue shot at them; Heshbon is perished euen vnto Dibon, and we haue layde them waste euen vnto Nophah, which reacheth vnto Medeba.

³¹¶ Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites.

³²And Moses sent to spy out Iaazer, and they tooke the villages thereof, and droue out the Amorites that were there.

³³¶ ^*And they turned and went vp by the way of Bashan: and Og the King of Bashan went out against them, he, and all his people, to the battell at Edrei.

³⁴And the LORD said vnto Moses, Feare him not: for I haue deliuered him into thy hand, and all his people, and his land, and ^*thou shalt doe to him as thou didst vnto Sihon King of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.

³⁵So they smote him & his sonnes, and all his people, vntill there was none left him aliue, and they possessed his land.

¹⁷And when he came to him, behold, he stood by his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said unto him, What hath the Lord spoken?

¹⁸And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear; hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor:

¹⁹God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

²⁰Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it.

²¹He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel: the Lord his God is with him, and the shout of a king is among them.

²²God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn.

²³Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!

²⁴Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, and lift up himself as a young lion: he shall not lie down until he eat of the prey, and drink the blood of the slain.

²⁵¶ And Balak said unto Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all.

²⁶But Balaam answered and said unto Balak, Told not I thee, saying, All that the Lord speaketh, that I must do?

¹⁵And he said vnto Balak, Stand here by thy burnt offering, while I meete the LORD yonder.

¹⁶And the LORD met Balaam, and ^*put a word in his mouth, and saide, Goe againe vnto Balak, and say thus.

¹⁷And when hee came to him, behold, he stood by his burnt offring, and the Princes of Moab with him. And Balak said vnto him, What hath the LORD spoken?

¹⁸And he tooke vp his parable, and said, Rise vp Balak, & heare; hearken vnto me, thou sonne of Zippor:

¹⁹God is not a man that he should lie, neither the sonne of man, that hee should repent: hath he said, and shall he not doe it? or, hath hee spoken, and shall he not make it good?

²⁰Behold, I haue receiued commandement to blesse: and hee hath blessed, and I cannot reuerse it.

²¹Hee hath not beheld iniquitie in Iacob, neither hath he seene peruersenesse in Israel: the LORD his God is with him, and the shoute of a King is among them.

^22*God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an Unicorne.

²³Surely there is no inchantment ^‖against Iacob, neither is there any diuination against Israel: according to this time it shalbe said of Iacob, and of Israel, What hath God wrought!

²⁴Beholde, the people shall rise vp as a great Lion, and lift vp himselfe as a yong Lion: hee shall not lie downe vntill he eate of the pray, and drinke the blood of the slaine.

²⁵¶ And Balak said vnto Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor blesse them at all.

²⁶But Balaam answered, and said vnto Balak, Told not I thee, saying, All that the LORD speaketh, that I must doe?

¹⁸And Balaam answered and said unto the servants of Balak, If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of the Lord my God, to do less or more.

¹⁹Now therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also here this night, that I may know what the Lord will say unto me more.

²⁰And God came unto Balaam at night, and said unto him, If the men come to call thee, rise up, and go with them; but yet the word which I shall say unto thee, that shalt thou do.

¹⁸And Balaam answered and said vnto the seruants of Balak, ^*If Balak would giue me his house full of siluer and gold, I cannot goe beyond the word of the LORD my God, to doe lesse or more.

¹⁹Now therefore, I pray you, tarie yee also here this night, that I may know what the LORD will say vnto me more.

²⁰And God came vnto Balaam at night, and said vnto him, If the men come to call thee, rise vp, and goe with them: but yet the word which I shall say vnto thee, that shalt thou doe.
