all that the LORD our GOD commanded us. And when ye had girded on every Man his Weapons of War, ye were ready to go up into the Hill.

42 And the LORD faid unto me, Say unto them, Go not up, neither fight, for I AM NOT AMONG YOU; left ye be fmitten before your Enemies.

43 So I fpake unto you, and ye would not HEAR, but REBELLED against the Commandment of the LORD, and went PRESUMPTUOUSLY up into the Hill.

44 And the Amorites which dwelt in that Mountain, came out against you, and chased you as Bees do, and destroyed you.

45 And ye returned and WEPT before the LORD; but the LORD would not HEARKEN to your Voice, nor give ear unto you.

46 So ye abode in Kadesh many Days.

THEN we turned, and took our Journey into the Wilderness, by the Way of the Red Sea, as the LORD fpake unto me: and we compaffed Mount Seir many Days.

2 And the LORD fpake unto me, faying,

3 Ye have compaffed this Mountain long enough: tum you North-ward.

4 And command thou the People, faying, Ye are to pafs through the Coast of your Brethren the Children of Efau, and they shall be afraid of you.

5 MEDDLE not with them; for I will not give you of their Land.

13 Now rife up, faid I, and get you over the Brook Zered and we went over the Brook Zered.

14 And the Space in which we came from Kadesh-barnea, until we were come over the Brook Zered, was THIRTY and EIGHT Years; until ALL the GENERATION of the Men of War were WASTED out from among the Hoft, as the LORD fware unto them.

15 For indeed the HAND of the LORD WAS AGAINST

them,

them, to DESTROY them from among the Hoft, until they were confumed.

16 So it came to pass, when ALL the MEN of War were CONSUMED, and dead from among the People,

17 That the LORD fpake unto me, faying,

18 Thou art to pafs over through Ar, the Coaft of Moab, this Day.

19 And when thou comeft nigh over against the Children of Ammon, distress them not, nor MEDDLE with them : for I will not give thee of the Land of the Children of Ammon, any Poffeffion, because I have given it unto the Children of LOT for a Poffeffion.

20 (That alfo was accounted a Land of Giants, Giants dwelt therein in old time, and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims,

21 A People great and many, and tall as the Anakims; but the LORD deftroyed them before them, and they fucceeded them, and dwelt in their ftead:

22 As he did to the Children of Efau which dwelt in Seir, when he destroyed the Horims from before them, and they fucceeded them, and dwelt in their ftead.)

24 Rife ye up, take your Journey, and pafs over, the River Arnon: behold, I have given into thy Hand Sihon the Amorite King of Hefhbon, and his Land.

25 This Day will I begin to put the DREAD of thee, and the FEAR of thee upon the NATIONS that are under the whole Heaven, who fhall hear Report of thee, and fhall TREMBLE, and be in Anguish becaufe of thee.

26 And I fent Meflengers out of the Wilderness of Kedemoth, unto Sihon King of Hefhbon, with Words of Peace.

30 But Sihon, would not let us pafs by him for the LORD thy GOD hardened his Spirit, and made his Heart OBSTINATE, that he might deliver him into thy Hand. 32 Then Sihon came out against us.

33 And the LORD our GoD delivered him before us, and we smote him, and all his People.

34 And we took all his Cities at that Time.

2 And the LORD faid unto me, FEAR him NOT: for I will deliver him, and all his People, and his Land into thy Hand.

4 And we took all his Cities at that Time.

5 All these Cities were FENCED with HIGH WALLS, Gates, and Bars, befides unwalled Towns a great many.

8 And we took at that Time out of the Hand of the two Kings of the Amorites, the Land that was on this fide Jordan, from the River of Arnon unto Mount Hermon :

11 For only Og King of Bafhan remained of the Remnant of GIANTS; his Beadftead was of Iron: nine Cubits was the Length thereof, and four Cubits the Breadth of it.

21 And I commanded Jofhua at that Time, faying, Thine Eyes have feen all that the LORD your God hath done unto these two Kings: fo fhall the LORD do unto all the Kingdoms whither thou paffeft.

22 Ye fhall not FEAR them for the LORD your God he fhall FIGHT for you.

23 And I befought the LORD at that Time, faying, 24 O LORD GOD, thou haft begun to fhew thy Servant thy GREATNESS and thy MIGHTY HAND: for what GOD is there in HEAVEN, or in EARTH, that can po according to thy WORKS, and according to thy MIGHT?
