Devarim 2:30-32

Orthodox Jewish Bible

³⁰ But Sichon Melech Cheshbon would not let us pass by him; for Hashem Eloheicha hardened and made stubborn his ruach, and made his lev obstinate, that He might deliver him into thy hand, as indeed hayom hazeh.

³¹ And Hashem said unto me, See, I have begun to give Sichon and his land before thee; begin the occupation, that thou mayest take possession to inherit his land.

³² Then Sichon came out against us, he and all his people, to make milchamah (battle, war) at Yachatz.
