- 以色列人從埃及上來、乃是經過曠野到紅海、來到加低斯.
- 就打發使者去見以東王、說、求你容我從你的地經過.以東王卻不應允。又照樣打發使者去見摩押王.他也不允准、以色列人就住在加低斯。
- 他們又經過曠野、繞著以東和摩押地、從摩押地的東邊過來、在亞嫩河邊安營、並沒有入摩押的境內、因為亞嫩河是摩押的邊界。
- 以色列人打發使者去見亞摩利王西宏、就是希實本的王、對他說、求你容我們從你的地經過、往我們自己的地方去。
- 西宏卻不信服以色列人、不容他們經過他的境界.乃招聚他的眾民、在雅雜安營、與以色列人爭戰。

- 'For when they came up from Egypt, and Israel went through the wilderness to the Red Sea and came to Kadesh,
- then Israel sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, "Please let us pass through your land," but the king of Edom would not listen And they also sent to the king of Moab, but he would not consent. So Israel remained at Kadesh.
- 'Then they went through the wilderness and around the land of Edom and the land of Moab, and came to the east side of the land of Moab, and they camped beyond the Arnon; but they did not enter the territory of Moab, for the Arnon was the border of Moab.
- 'And Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, the king of Heshbon, and Israel said to him, "Please let us pass through your land to our place."
- 'But Sihon did not trust Israel to pass through his territory; so Sihon gathered all his people and camped in Jahaz and fought with Israel.
