Numbers 21:28-29
New English Translation

28 For fire went out from Heshbon,
a flame from the city of Sihon.
It has consumed Ar of Moab
and the lords[a] of the high places of Arnon.
29 Woe to you, Moab.
You are ruined, O people of Chemosh![b]
He has made his sons fugitives,
and his daughters the prisoners of King Sihon of the Amorites.

Footnotes

  1. Numbers 21:28 tc Some scholars emend to בָּלְעָה (balʿah), reading “and devoured,” instead of בַּעֲלֵי (baʿale, “its lords”); cf. NAB, NRSV, TEV. This emendation is closer to the Greek and makes a better parallelism, but the MT makes good sense as it stands.
  2. Numbers 21:29 sn The note of holy war emerges here as the victory is a victory over the local gods as well as over the people.
