2 So Israel vowed a vow unto the Lord, and said, If thou wilt deliver and give this people into mine hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities.
3 And the Lord heard the voice of Israel, and delivered them the Canaanites: and they utterly destroyed them and their cities, and called the name of the place [a](A)Hormah.
4 ¶ After they departed from the mount Hor by the way of the Red Sea, to [b]compass the land of Edom: and the people were sore grieved because of the way.
