Numbers 21:21-23

Modern English Version

King Sihon Defeated

²¹ Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,

²² “Let me pass through your land. We will not turn into the fields nor into the vineyards. We will not drink of the waters of the well. But we will go along by the king’s highway until we are past your borders.”

²³ Sihon would not allow 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.
