7And the people came to Mosheh, and said: We have sinned, for we have murmured before the Lord, and have contended with thee. Intercede before the Lord, that He may remove the serpents from among us. And Mosheh prayed for the people.
8And the Lord said to Mosheh: Make thee a burning (serpent), and uplift it on an ensign; and everyone who hath been bitten, and beholdeth it, shall live (or, be saved).
9And Mosheh made a serpent of brass, and set it upon an ensign; and when a serpent had bitten a man, if he looked up to the serpent of brass, he lived (or, was saved).
10And the children of Israel journeyed and encamped in Oboth.
11And they journeyed from Oboth, and encamped at the Ford of the Passengers, which is in the wilderness over against Moab, toward the sunrise.
12And they removed from thence, and encamped by the brook Zared.
13Thence they journeyed, and pitched on the other side of Arnon, that is in the wilderness that stretcheth out from the coasts of the Amoraah; for Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amoraah.
14Wherefore it is said in the Book of the Wars, That which the Lord did by the Sea of Suph, and the great deeds which (He wrought) by the torrents of Arnon,
15And at the flowing of the streams which lead towards Lechayath, and are joined at the confine of Moab.
16And from thence was given to them the well, which is the well whereof the Lord spake to Mosheh, Gather the people together, and I will give them water.
17Therefore sang Israel this song: Spring up, O well; sing ye unto it.
18The well which the princes digged, the chiefs of the people cut it, the scribes with their staves; it was given to them in the wilderness.
19And from (the time) that it was given to them it descended with them to the rivers, and from the rivers it went up with them to the height,
20And from the height to the vale which is in the fields of Moab, at the head of Ramatha, which looketh towards Beth Jeshimon.
21And Israel sent messengers to Sihon, king of the Amoraah, saying:
22I would pass through thy country: I will not turn aside into field or vineyard; we will not drink of the waters of the cistern; by the king’s highway will we go until we have crossed thy border.
23But Sihon would not permit Israel to pass through his coast; and Sihon gathered all his people, and came out to prevent Israel in the wilderness, and came to Jahaz, and arrayed battle against Israel.
24And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and took possession of his land from Arnon unto Jabbok, unto the Beni Ammon; for the border of the Beni Ammon was strong.
25And Israel subdued all those cities, and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amoraah, in Heshbon, and in all the villages thereof.
26For Heshbon was the city of Sihon, king of the Amoraah; he had made war with the former king of Moab, and had taken all his territory from his hand unto Arnon.
