King James Version
1. The king of Arad, the Canaanite, who dwelt in the South, heard that Israel was coming on the road to Atharim, then he fought against Israel and took some of them prisoners. 2. So Israel made a vow to the LORD, and said, "If You will indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities." 3. And the LORD listened to the voice of Israel and delivered up the Canaanites, and they utterly destroyed them and their cities. So the name of that place was called Hormah. 4. Then they journeyed from Mount Hor by the Way of the Red Sea, to go around the land of Edom; and the soul of the people became very discouraged on the way. 5. And the people spoke against God and against Moses: "Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no food and no water, and our soul loathes this worthless bread." 6. So the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and many of the people of Israel died. 7. Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, "We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD and against you; pray to the LORD that He take away the serpents from us." So Moses prayed for the people. 8. Then the LORD said to Moses, "Make a fiery serpent , and set it on a pole; and it shall be that everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, shall live." 9. So Moses made a bronze serpent, and put it on a pole; and so it was, if a serpent had bitten anyone, when he looked at the bronze serpent, he lived. 10. Now the children of Israel moved on and camped in Oboth. 11. And they journeyed from Oboth and camped at Ije Abarim, in the wilderness which is east of Moab, toward the sunrise. 12. From there they moved and camped in the Valley of Zered. 13. From there they moved and camped on the other side of the Arnon, which is in the wilderness that extends from the border of the Amorites; for the Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites. 14. Therefore it is said in the Book of the Wars of the LORD: "Waheb in Suphah, The brooks of the Arnon, 15. And the slope of the brooks That reaches to the dwelling of Ar, And lies on the border of Moab." 16. From there they went to Beer, which is the well where the LORD said to Moses, "Gather the people together, and I will give them water." 17. Then Israel sang this song: "Spring up, O well! All of you sing to it–– 18. The well the leaders sank, Dug by the nation’s nobles, By the lawgiver, with their staves." And from the wilderness they went to Mattanah, 19. from Mattanah to Nahaliel, from Nahaliel to Bamoth, 20. and from Bamoth, in the valley that is in the country of Moab, to the top of Pisgah which looks down on the wasteland. 21. Then Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying, 22. "Let me pass through your land. We will not turn aside into fields or vineyards; we will not drink water from wells. We will go by the King’s Highway until we have passed through your territory." 23. But Sihon would not allow Israel to pass through his territory. So Sihon gathered all his people together and went out against Israel in the wilderness, and he came to Jahaz and fought against Israel. 24. Then Israel defeated him with the edge of the sword, and took possession of his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, as far as the people of Ammon; for the border of the people of Ammon was fortified. 25. So Israel took all these cities, and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon and in all its villages. 26. For Heshbon was the city of Sihon king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab, and had taken all his land from his hand as far as the Arnon. 27. Therefore those who speak in proverbs say: "Come to Heshbon, let it be built; Let the city of Sihon be repaired. 28. "For fire went out from Heshbon, A flame from the city of Sihon; It consumed Ar of Moab, The lords of the heights of the Arnon. 29. Woe to you, Moab! You have perished, O people of Chemosh! He has given his sons as fugitives, And his daughters into captivity, To Sihon king of the Amorites. 30. "But we have shot at them; Heshbon has perished as far as Dibon. Then we laid waste as far as Nophah, Which reaches to Medeba." 31. Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites. 32. Then Moses sent to spy out Jazer; and they took its villages and drove out the Amorites who were there. 33. And they turned and went up by the way to Bashan. So Og king of Bashan went out against them, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei. 34. Then the LORD said to Moses, "Do not fear him, for I have delivered him into your hand, with all his people and his land; and you shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon." 35. So they defeated him, his sons, and all his people, until there was no survivor left him; and they took possession of his land.
1. Then the children of Israel moved, and camped in the plains of Moab on the side of the Jordan across from Jericho.
1. My son, if you receive my words, And treasure my commands within you, 2. So that you incline your ear to wisdom, And apply your heart to understanding; 3. Yes, if you cry out for discernment, And lift up your voice for understanding, 4. If you seek her as silver, And search for her as for hidden treasures; 5. Then you will understand the fear of the LORD, And find the knowledge of God. 6. For the LORD gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding; 7. He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk uprightly; 8. He guards the paths of justice, And preserves the way of His saints. 9. Then you will understand righteousness and justice, Equity and every good path. 10. When wisdom enters your heart, And knowledge is pleasant to your soul, 11. Discretion will preserve you; Understanding will keep you, 12. To deliver you from the way of evil, From the man who speaks perverse things, 13. From those who leave the paths of uprightness To walk in the ways of darkness; 14. Who rejoice in doing evil, And delight in the perversity of the wicked; 15. Whose ways are crooked, And who are devious in their paths; 16. To deliver you from the immoral woman, From the seductress who flatters with her words, 17. Who forsakes the companion of her youth, And forgets the covenant of her God. 18. For her house leads down to death, And her paths to the dead; 19. None who go to her return, Nor do they regain the paths of life–– 20. So you may walk in the way of goodness, And keep to the paths of righteousness. 21. For the upright will dwell in the land, And the blameless will remain in it; 22. But the wicked will be cut off from the earth, And the unfaithful will be uprooted from it.
1. Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ. 2. Now I praise you, brethren, that you remember me in all things and keep the traditions just as I delivered them to you. 3. But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man, and the head of Christ is God. 4. Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head. 5. But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for that is one and the same as if her head were shaved. 6. For if a woman is not covered, let her also be shorn. But if it is shameful for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered. 7. For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man. 8. For man is not from woman, but woman from man. 9. Nor was man created for the woman, but woman for the man. 10. For this reason the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels. 11. Nevertheless, neither is man independent of woman, nor woman independent of man, in the Lord. 12. For as woman came from man, even so man also comes through woman; but all things are from God. 13. Judge among yourselves. Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? 14. Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him? 15. But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her; for her hair is given to her for a covering. 16. But if anyone seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor do the churches of God.
