“ And now see what the armies of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir are doing. You would not let our ancestors invade those nations when Israel left Egypt, so they went around them and did not destroy them.

从前以色列人出埃及地的时候，你不容以色列人侵犯亚扪人、摩押人，和西珥山人，以色列人就离开他们，不灭绝他们。

现在，看哪，以色列人出埃及地的时候，你不容许以色列人侵犯亚扪人、摩押人和西珥山人，以色列人就离开他们，不灭绝他们。

现在，看哪，以色列人出埃及地的时候，你不容许以色列人侵犯亚扪人、摩押人和西珥山人，以色列人就离开他们，不灭绝他们。

“从前以色列人离开埃及的时候，你不准他们侵犯亚扪人、摩押人和来自西珥山的人，他们就绕道而行，没有毁灭这些人。

现在这里有亚扪人、摩押人和西珥山的人，从前以色列人从埃及地出来的时候，你不许以色列人侵犯他们。那时，以色列人就离开了他们，不除灭他们。

從前以色列人出埃及地的時候，你不容以色列人侵犯亞捫人、摩押人，和西珥山人，以色列人就離開他們，不滅絕他們。

現在，看哪，以色列人出埃及地的時候，你不容許以色列人侵犯亞捫人、摩押人和西珥山人，以色列人就離開他們，不滅絕他們。

現在，看哪，以色列人出埃及地的時候，你不容許以色列人侵犯亞捫人、摩押人和西珥山人，以色列人就離開他們，不滅絕他們。

「從前以色列人離開埃及的時候，你不准他們侵犯亞捫人、摩押人和來自西珥山的人，他們就繞道而行，沒有毀滅這些人。

現在這裡有亞捫人、摩押人和西珥山的人，從前以色列人從埃及地出來的時候，你不許以色列人侵犯他們。那時，以色列人就離開了他們，不除滅他們。

現在你看這些亞捫人、摩押人和西珥山人：這幾族人就是：從前以色列人從埃及地出來時、你不讓以色列人侵犯他們的；當時以色列人就轉一邊離開了他們。不除滅他們。

試觀亞捫人、摩押人、及西珥山人、即以色列族出埃及時、爾所禁侵其境、使轉離之、不加翦滅者、

昔以色列族、出埃及時、謹守爾命、過亞捫摩押、西耳之地、不侵伐之、不翦滅之、

昔以色列人出伊及時、遵主之命、不入亞捫摩押及西珥山之境、過而不滅其民、

“ But now here are men from Ammon, Moab and Mount Seir, whose territory you would not allow Israel to invade when they came from Egypt; so they turned away from them and did not destroy them.

“ But here are men from Ammon, Moab and Mount Seir. You wouldn’t allow Israel to march in and attack their territory when the Israelites came from Egypt. So Israel turned away from them. They didn’t destroy them.

And now behold, the men of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir, whom you would not let Israel invade when they came from the land of Egypt, and whom they avoided and did not destroy—

Now here are the Ammonites, Moabites, and the inhabitants of Mount Seir. You did not let Israel invade them when Israel came out of the land of Egypt, but Israel turned away from them and did not destroy them.

Now behold, the sons of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, whom You did not allow Israel to invade when they came out of the land of Egypt( for they turned aside from them and did not destroy them),

And now, here are the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir— whom You would not let Israel invade when they came out of the land of Egypt, but they turned from them and did not destroy them—

And now, behold, the children of Ammon and Moab and mount Seir, whom thou wouldest not let Israel invade, when they came out of the land of Egypt, but they turned aside from them, and destroyed them not;

Now here are the Ammonites, Moabites, and the inhabitants of Mount Seir. You did not let Israel invade them when Israel came out of the land of Egypt, but Israel turned away from them and did not destroy them.

And now, behold, the children of Ammon and Moab and mount Seir, whom thou wouldest not let Israel invade, when they came out of the land of Egypt, but they turned from them, and destroyed them not;

Now the Ammonites, Moabites, and men from Mount Seir are coming! When Israel came from the land of Egypt, you did not allow them to invade these lands. They bypassed them and did not destroy them.

Now, behold, the children of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir, whom you would not let Israel invade when they came out of the land of Egypt, but they turned away from them, and didn’t destroy them;

Give these orders to the people:“ You will pass through the country belonging to your relatives the Edomites, the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir. The Edomites will feel threatened, so be careful.Do not bother them, for I have given them all the hill country around Mount Seir as their property, and I will not give you even one square foot of their land.

and enter the land of the Ammonites, the descendants of Lot. But do not bother them or start a war with them. I have given the land of Ammon to them as their property, and I will not give you any of their land.’”

the Lord warned us,‘ Do not bother the Moabites, the descendants of Lot, or start a war with them. I have given them Ar as their property, and I will not give you any of their land.’”

Please let us travel through your land. We will be careful not to go through your fields and vineyards. We won’t even drink water from your wells. We will stay on the king’s road and never leave it until we have passed through your territory.”But the king of Edom said,“ Stay out of my land, or I will meet you with an army!”The Israelites answered,“ We will stay on the main road. If our livestock drink your water, we will pay for it. Just let us pass through your country. That’s all we ask.”But the king of Edom replied,“ Stay out! You may not pass through our land.” With that he mobilized his army and marched out against them with an imposing force.Because Edom refused to allow Israel to pass through their country, Israel was forced to turn around.

“ This is what Jephthah says: Israel did not steal any land from Moab or Ammon.When the people of Israel arrived at Kadesh on their journey from Egypt after crossing the Red Sea,they sent messengers to the king of Edom asking for permission to pass through his land. But their request was denied. Then they asked the king of Moab for similar permission, but he wouldn’t let them pass through either. So the people of Israel stayed in Kadesh.“ Finally, they went around Edom and Moab through the wilderness. They traveled along Moab’s eastern border and camped on the other side of the Arnon River. But they never once crossed the Arnon River into Moab, for the Arnon was the border of Moab.

After this, the armies of the Moabites, Ammonites, and some of the Meunites declared war on Jehoshaphat.

At the very moment they began to sing and give praise, the Lord caused the armies of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir to start fighting among themselves.
