Numbers 21:21-23

New Catholic Bible

²¹ Victory over Sihon and Og.^[a] Israel sent messengers to Sihon, king of the Amorites, saying, ²² “Let us pass through your land. We will not wander into the fields nor into the vineyards. We will not drink water from any well. We will pass along the King’s Highway until we have crossed over your borders.”

²³ But Sihon would not allow Israel to cross over his border. Sihon gathered all of his people and marched out into the desert against Israel. He went out to Jahaz and fought with Israel.
