2 (A)And Israel vowed a vow to the Lord and said, “If you will indeed give this people into my hand, then I will devote their cities to destruction.”[a] 3 And the Lord heeded the voice of Israel and gave over the Canaanites, and they devoted them and their cities to destruction. So the name of the place was called (B)Hormah.[b]
The Bronze Serpent
4 From Mount Hor (C)they set out by the way to the Red Sea, (D)to go around the land of Edom. And the people became impatient on the way.
