Numbers 21:2-4
Lexham English Bible
2 Israel made a vow to Yahweh, and they said, “If you will surely give this people into our[a] hand, then we[b] will destroy[c] their cities.” 3 Yahweh heard the voice of Israel; he gave to them the Canaanites, and they destroyed them[d] and their cities. They called the name of the place Hormah.
4 They set out from Mount Hor by the way of the Red Sea[e] to go around the land of Edom; but the people became impatient[f] along the way.
