²⁵ And Israel took all their towns, living in Heshbon and all the towns and small places of the Amorites.

³¹ So Israel put up their tents in the land of the Amorites.

⁵³ And I will let their fate be changed, the fate of Sodom and her daughters, and the fate of Samaria and her daughters, and your fate with theirs.

⁴⁹ Truly, this was the sin of your sister Sodom: pride, a full measure of food, and the comforts of wealth in peace, were seen in her and her daughters, and she gave no help to the poor or to those in need.

⁴⁶ Your older sister is Samaria, living at your left hand, she and her daughters: and your younger sister, living at your right hand, is Sodom and her daughters.

⁴⁵ Those who went in flight from the fear are waiting under the shade of Heshbon: for a fire has gone out from Heshbon and a flame from the house of Sihon, burning up the pride of Moab and the crown of the head of the violent ones.

³⁴ The cry of Heshbon comes even to Elealeh; to Jahaz their voice is sounding; from Zoar even to Horonaim and to Eglath-shelishiyah: for the waters of Nimrim will become dry.

² The praise of Moab has come to an end; as for Heshbon, evil has been designed against her; come, let us put an end to her as a nation. But your mouth will be shut, O Madmen; the sword will go after you.

⁸ For the fields of Heshbon are waste, the vine of Sibmah is dead; the lords of nations were overcome by the produce of her vines; her vine-plants went as far as Jazer, and came even to the waste land; her branches were stretched out to the sea.

⁹ For this cause my sorrow for the vine of Sibmah will be like the weeping for Jazer: my eyes are dropping water on you, O Heshbon and Elealeh! For they are sounding the war-cry over your summer fruits and the getting in of your grain;

⁴ Heshbon is crying out, and Elealeh; their voice is sounding even to Jahaz: for this cause the heart of Moab is shaking; his soul is shaking with fear.

⁴ Your neck is as a tower of ivory; your eyes like the waters in Heshbon, by the doorway of Bath-rabbim; your nose is as the tower on Lebanon looking over Damascus:

¹² And the Horites in earlier times were living in Seir, but the children of Esau took their place; they sent destruction on them and took their land for themselves, as Israel did to the land of his heritage which the Lord gave them.)

³³ So Moses gave to them, even to the children of Gad and the children of Reuben and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon, king of the Amorites and Og, king of Bashan, all the land with its towns and the country round them.

³⁴ And the children of Gad were the builders of Dibon and Ataroth and Aroer;

³⁵ And Atroth-shophan and Jazer and Jogbehah;

³⁶ And Beth-nimrah and Beth-haran: walled towns and shut-in places for sheep.

³⁷ And the children of Reuben were the builders of Heshbon and Elealeh and Kiriathaim;

³⁸ And Nebo and Baal-meon, (their names being changed,) and Sibmah: and they gave other names to the towns they made.

³⁹ And the children of Machir, the son of Manasseh, went to Gilead and took it, driving out the Amorites who were living there.

⁴⁰ And Moses gave Gilead to Machir, the son of Manasseh; and he made it his living-place.

⁴¹ And Jair, the son of Manasseh, went and took the towns of Gilead, naming them Havvoth-Jair.

⁴² And Nobah went and took Kenath and its small towns, naming it Nobah, after himself.

¹⁰ And I took you up out of the land of Egypt, guiding you for forty years in the waste land, so that you might take for your heritage the land of the Amorite.
