AnoteAnd whan Arad the kynge of the Cananites
(which dwelt towarde the
south) herde, that Israel came in by þe;
waie þt; the spyes had founde out, he fought
agaynst Israel, and toke some of them presoners.
Then vowed Israel a vowe vnto þe;
LORDE, and sayde: Yf thou wylt geue this
people vnder my hande, I wyll vtterly destroye
their cities. And the LORDE herde þe;
voyce of Israel, and delyuered them the Cananites,
and they vtterly destroyed them &wt;
their cities also. And he called the place
Horma. note
noteThen departed they fro mount Hor on þe;
waye towarde the reed see, that they might
go aboute the lande of the Edomites. And
the soules of the people faynted by the waie
and they spake agaynst God and agaynst
Moses: note Wherfore hast thou brought vs out
of the lande of Egipte, to slaye vs in the wildernesse?
For here is nether bred ner water,
and oure soule lotheth this lighte meate.
Than sent the LORDE fyrie serpentes amonge
the people, which bote the peple, so
that there dyed moch people in Israel. Th&ebar;
came they vnto Moses, and sayde: We haue
synned, because we haue spoken agaynst the
LORDE and agaynst the. notePraye thou vnto
the LORDE, that he take awaye the serpentes
from vs. And Moses prayed for the people.
[unresolved image link]
Then sayde the LORDE vnto Moses: Make
the a brasen serpente, and set it vp for a token.
Who so euer is bytten, and loketh vpon
it, shal lyue. noteThen made Moses a serpent of
brasse, and set it vp for a token: and whan a
serpent had bytten eny man, he behelde the
brasen serpente, and recouered.
noteAnd the children of Israel departed, and
pitched in Oboth. And from Oboth they
wente on, and pitched in Igim by Abarim
in the wyldernesse ouer agaynst Moab, on
the Eastsyde. From thence departed they, ∧
pitched by the ryuer of Sared. From thence
departed they, and pitched on this syde
Arnon, which is in the wyldernesse, and commeth
out of the coastes of the Amorites. For
Arnon is the border betwixte Moab and þe;
Amorites. C Wherfore it is spoken in the boke
of the warres of the LORDE: And go
with violence both on the ryuer of Arnon, ∧
on the founteyne of the riuer, which boweth
downewarde to dwell at Ar, ∧ leaneth theron,
to be the border of Moab.
And from thence they came to the well.
This is the well, wherof the LORDE spake
vnto Moses: gather the people together, I
wil geue them water. Then sange Israel this
songe, and they sange one after another ouer
the well: This is the well, that the prynces
dygged: the nobles amonge the people haue
digged it thorow þe; teacher and their staues.
And from this wildernes they wente vnto
Mathana, ∧ from Mathana vnto Nahaliel,
and from Nahaliel to Bamoth, and fr&obar;
Bamoth vnto the valley that lieth in þe; felde
of Moab at the toppe of Pisga, and turneth
towarde the wyldernesse.
And Israel sent messaungers vnto Sih&obar;
the kynge of the Amorrites, ∧ caused to saye
vnto him: Let me go thorow þe; lande, we wyl
not turne in to þe; feldes ner in to the vynyardes:
nether will we drynke the water of the
welles, þe; hye strete wil we go, till we be past
the borders of thy countre.
D Howbeit Sihon wolde not geue the children
of Israel licence to go thorow the coastes
of his londe, but gathered all his people
together, and wente out agaynst Israel in
the wyldernesse. And whan he came to Iaheza,
he fought agaynst Israel. Neuerthelesse
Israel smote him with the edge of the
swerde, and conquered his lande from Arnon
vnto Iabock, and vnto the children of
Ammon. For the borders of the children of
Ammon were str&obar;ge. So Israel toke all these
cities, and dwelt in all the cities of þe; Amorites,
namely at He&esset;bon, and in the townes
belonginge therto. For He&esset;bon the cite was
Sihons the kynge of the Amorites, and he
had foughten before with the kynge of the
Moabites, and conquered all his londe from
him vntyll Arnon.
Wherfore it is sayde in the prouerbe: Come
vnto He&esset;bon, let vs buylde and prepare
þe; cite of Sihon. For there is a fyre gone out
of He&esset;bon, and a flamme from the cite of
Sihon, which hath consumed Ar of þe; Moabites,
-- --
and the citisens of þe; toppe of Arnon.
Wo vnto the Moab, thou people of Camos
art vndone. E His sonnes are put to flighte, ∧
his doughters brought captyue vnto Sihon
the kynge of the Amorites. Their glory
is come to naught from He&esset;bon vnto Dibon:
waisted are they vnto Nopha, which
reacheth vnto Mediba. Thus dwelt Israel
in the lande of the Amorites.
And Moses sent out spyes vnto Iahesar,
∧ they toke the townes belongynge therto, ∧
c&obar;quered the Amorites þt; were therin. And
they turned, note ∧ wente vp the waye towarde
Basan. Then Og the kynge of Basan w&ebar;te
out agaynst them &wt; all his people, to fight
in Edrei. And þe; LORDE sayde vnto Moses:
Feare him not, for I haue geuen him &wt; his
lande ∧ people in to thy hande, ∧ thou shalt
do with him, as thou dyddest with Sihon
the kynge of the Amorites, which dwelt at
He&esset;bon. And they smote him, ∧ his sonnes, ∧
all his people (so þt; there remayned none) ∧
c&obar;quered the londe. Afterwarde w&ebar;te þe; children
of Israel, ∧ pitched in þe; felde of Moab
beyonde Iordane by Iericho.
