1 A king named Arad heard Israel came on a road. He fought and took some people. ⚔️ 2 The people talked to God. They said, “If You help us win, we will tear down their towns.” ️ 3 God heard. God helped. Israel won and broke the towns. They named the place Hormah. ️ 4 They left Mount Hor. They went by the Red Sea. They walked around Edom. The way was long. The people got mad and tired. 5 The people spoke bad to God and to Moses. They said, “Why bring us here to die? No bread. No water. We hate this food.” 6 God sent many snakes. The snakes bit the people. Many died. 7 The people said to Moses, “We did wrong. We talked bad to God and to you. Please pray.” Moses prayed to God. 8 God said to Moses, “Make a metal snake. Put it on a pole. If a hurt person looks, the person will live.” 9 Moses made a metal snake and put it on a pole. When a snake bit a person, the person looked and got well. ️ 10 The people moved. They camped at Oboth. ️➡️ 11 They left Oboth and camped at Iye-abarim by Moab, where the sun rises. ️ 12 They moved again and camped by the Zered valley. ⛰️️ 13 They moved again and camped by the Arnon river. That was the line of Moab and the Amorites. ️️ 14 An old book about God’s wars told about the Arnon river. 15 It told about the hills and the town Ar near Moab. ️️ 16 They went to Beer. There was a well. God said to Moses, “Bring the people. I will give water.” ⛲ 17 Israel sang a song: “Well, come up! Sing!” 18 Leaders dug the well. They used big sticks. Then they went to Mattanah. ⛏️➡️ 19 They went from Mattanah to Nahaliel, then to Bamoth. ➡️ 20 They went to a high place in Moab, to Pisgah. You could see far from there. 21 Israel sent men to King Sihon of the Amorites. 22 They said, “Please let us walk in your land. We will not take food or water. We will stay on the road. Then we will go out.” ♂️️ 23 But King Sihon said no. He took his men to Jahaz and fought Israel. ❌⚔️ 24 God’s people won. They took land from Arnon to Jabbok. They stopped at Ammon’s strong line. ️ 25 Israel took the towns. They lived in Heshbon and near towns. ️ 26 Heshbon had been King Sihon’s city. He had beat Moab’s old king and took land to Arnon. ️ 27 So people sang a song: “Come to Heshbon. Build it again. Make Sihon’s city strong.” ️ 28 The song said, “Fire came from Heshbon. It burned Ar of Moab and places by Arnon.” ️ 29 The song said, “Poor Moab. Your god Chemosh could not help. Your sons and girls were taken by King Sihon.” 30 The song said, “We won in many towns: Dibon, Nophah, and Medeba.” ️ 31 So Israel lived in the land of the Amorites. 32 Moses sent men to look at Jazer. They took the small towns and sent the Amorites out. ️ 33 They went to Bashan. King Og came with all his men to fight at Edrei. ⚔️️ 34 God said to Moses, “Do not be scared. I will give you the win. Do as you did to King Sihon.” 35 They beat King Og and his men. None were left in the fight. They took his land. ️
