04:021:007 Therefore the people came to Moses, and
said, We have sinned,
for
we have spoken against the lord, and against thee;
pray
unto
the lord, that he take away the serpents from
us. And
Moses
prayed for the people.
04:021:008 And the lord said unto Moses, Make
thee a fiery serpent, and
set
it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that
every one
that
is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.
04:021:009 And Moses made a serpent of brass, and
put it upon a pole, and
it
came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man,
when he
beheld
the serpent of brass, he lived.
04:021:010 And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in Oboth.
04:021:011 And they journeyed from Oboth, and pitched
at Ijeabarim, in
the
wilderness which is before Moab, toward the sunrising.
04:021:012 From thence they removed, and pitched in the valley of Zared.
04:021:013 From thence they removed, and pitched on
the other side of
Arnon,
which is in the wilderness that cometh out of the
coasts
of the Amorites: for Arnon is the border of Moab,
between
Moab and the Amorites.
04:021:014 Wherefore it is said in the book of the
wars of the lord, What
he
did in the Red sea, and in the brooks of Arnon,
04:021:015 And at the stream of the brooks that goeth
down to the
dwelling
of Ar, and lieth upon the border of Moab.
04:021:016 And from thence they went to Beer:
that is the well whereof
the
lord spake unto Moses, Gather the people together,
and I
will
give them water.
04:021:017 Then Israel sang this song, Spring up,
O well; sing ye unto
it:
04:021:018 The princes digged the well, the nobles
of the people digged
it,
by the direction of the lawgiver, with their staves.
And
from
the wilderness they went to Mattanah:
04:021:019 And from Mattanah to Nahaliel: and from Nahaliel to Bamoth:
04:021:020 And from Bamoth in the valley, that is
in the country of Moab,
to
the top of Pisgah, which looketh toward Jeshimon.
04:021:021 And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king
of the Amorites,
saying,
04:021:022 Let me pass through thy land: we will
not turn into the
fields,
or into the vineyards; we will not drink of the waters
of
the well: but we will go along by the king’s
high way,
until
we be past thy borders.
04:021:023 And Sihon would not suffer Israel to pass
through his border:
but
Sihon gathered all his people together, and went out
against
Israel into the wilderness: and he came to Jahaz,
and
fought
against Israel.
