^{21 Ref} And Israel sent men to Sihon, king of the Amorites, saying,

^{22 Ref} Let me go through your land: we will not go into field or vine-garden, or take the water of the springs; we will go by the highway till we have gone past the limits of your land.

^{23 Ref} And Sihon would not let Israel go through his land; but got all his people together and went out against Israel into the waste land, as far as Jahaz, to make war on Israel.
