And Moses sent to search out Iaezer, and they took the
towns belonging thereto and conquered the Amorites that were
there. And then they turned and went up toward Bason. And Og the
king of Bason came out against them, both he and all his people,
to war at Edrei. And the LORD said unto Moses: fear him not, for I
have delivered him into thy hands with all his people and his
land. And thou shalt do with him as thou didst with Sehon the king
of the Amorites which dwelt at Hesbon. And they smote him and his
sons and all his people, until there was nothing left him. And
they conquered his land.
Chapter .xxij.
And the children of Israel removed and pitched in the fields of
Moab, on the other side of Iordan, by Iericho. And Balac the son
of Ziphor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites, and the
Moabites were sore afraid of the people, because they were many,
and abhorred the children of Israel: And Moab said unto the elders
of Madian, now this company hath licked up all that are round
about us, as an ox licketh up the grass of the field. And Balac
the son of Ziphor was king of the Moabites at that time. And he
sent messengers unto Balam the son of Beor, the interpreter which
dwelt upon the river of the land of the children of his folk, to
call him saying: behold, there is a people come out of Egypt which
covereth the face of the earth and lie even hard by me.
