H9001–/וַ–v

Then you answered and said to me, We have sinned against Yahweh, we will go up and fight, according to all that Yahweh our God commanded us. You girded on every man his weapons of war, and were forward to go up into the hill-country.

וַֽתַּעֲנ֣וּ׀ (וַֽ) va. “and”וַתֹּאמְר֣וּ (וַ) va. “and”וְנִלְחַ֔מְנוּ (וְ) ve. “and”וַֽתַּחְגְּר֗וּ (וַֽ) va. “and”וַתָּהִ֖ינוּ (וַ) va. “and”

Yahweh said to me, Tell them, Don't go up, neither fight; for I am not among you; lest you be struck before your enemies.

וַיֹּ֨אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

So I spoke to you, and you didn't listen; but you rebelled against the commandment of Yahweh, and were presumptuous, and went up into the hill-country.

The Amorites, who lived in that hill-country, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and beat you down in Seir, even to Hormah.

וַיֵּצֵ֨א (וַ) va “and”וַיִּרְדְּפ֣וּ (וַ) va “and”וַֽיַּכְּת֥וּ (וַֽ) va “and”

You returned and wept before Yahweh; but Yahweh didn't listen to your voice, nor gave ear to you.

וַתָּשֻׁ֥בוּ (וַ) va. “and”וַתִּבְכּ֖וּ (וַ) va. “and”

So you abode in Kadesh many days, according to the days that you abode [supplied: there].

וַתֵּשְׁב֥וּ (וַ) va. “and”

Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea, as Yahweh spoke to me; and we compassed Mount Seir many days.

Yahweh spoke to me, saying,

וַיֹּ֥אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

Command you the people, saying, You are to pass through the border of your brothers the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir; and they will be afraid of you: take good heed to yourselves therefore;

וְנִשְׁמַרְתֶּ֖ם (וְ) ve. “and”

You shall purchase food of them for money, that you may eat; and you shall also buy water of them for money, that you may drink.

וַאֲכַלְתֶּ֑ם (וַ) va. “and”וּשְׁתִיתֶֽם׃ (וּ) u. “and”

So we passed by from our brothers the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir, from the way of the Arabah from Elath and from Ezion Geber. We turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab.

וַֽנַּעֲבֹ֞ר (וַֽ) va. “and”וַנֵּ֙פֶן֙ (וַ) va. “and”וַֽנַּעֲבֹ֔ר (וַֽ) va. “and”

Yahweh said to me, Don't bother Moab, neither contend with them in battle; for I will not give you of his land for a possession; because I have given Ar to the children of Lot for a possession.

וַיֹּ֨אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

The Horites also lived in Seir before, but the children of Esau succeeded them; and they destroyed them from before them, and lived in their place; as Israel did to the land of his possession, which Yahweh gave to them.)

וַיַּשְׁמִידוּם֙ (וַ) va “and”וַיֵּשְׁב֖וּ (וַ) va “and”

Now rise up, and get you over the brook Zered. We went over the brook Zered.

וַֽנַּעֲבֹ֖ר (וַֽ) va. “and”

So it happened, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,

וַיְהִ֨י (וַ) va “and”

that Yahweh spoke to me, saying,

וַיְדַבֵּ֥ר (וַ) va “and”

and when you come near over against the children of Ammon, don't bother them, nor contend with them; for I will not give you of the land of the children of Ammon for a possession; because I have given it to the children of Lot for a possession.

וְקָרַבְתָּ֗ (וְ) ve. “and”

a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakim; but Yahweh destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and lived in their place;

וַיַּשְׁמִידֵ֤ם (וַ) va “and”וַיִּירָשֻׁ֖ם (וַ) va “and”וַיֵּשְׁב֥וּ (וַ) va “and”

as he did for the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir, when he destroyed the Horites from before them; and they succeeded them, and lived in their place even to this day:

וַיִּֽירָשֻׁם֙ (וַ) va “and”וַיֵּשְׁב֣וּ (וַ) va “and”

and the Avvim, who lived in villages as far as Gaza, the Caphtorim, who came forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and lived in their place.)

וַיֵּשְׁב֥וּ (וַ) va “and”

This day will I begin to put the dread of you and the fear of you on the peoples who are under the whole sky, who shall hear the report of you, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of you.

וְרָגְז֥וּ (וְ) ve. “and”וְחָל֖וּ (וְ) ve. “and”

I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,

וָאֶשְׁלַ֤ח (וָ) va. “and”

You shall sell me food for money, that I may eat; and give me water for money, that I may drink: only let me pass through on my feet,

וְאָכַ֔לְתִּי (וְ) ve. “and”וְשָׁתִ֑יתִי (וְ) ve. “and”

But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him; for Yahweh your God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into your hand, as at this day.

וְאִמֵּץ֙ (וְ) ve. “and”

Yahweh said to me, Behold, I have begun to deliver up Sihon and his land before you: begin to possess, that you may inherit his land.

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר (וַ) va “and”
