"with all its parts, from the Arnon as far as the Jabbok, and from the wilderness even to the Jordan. "
— Judges 11:22, Catholic Public Domain Version
“And they possessed all the coasts of the Amorites, from Arnon even unto Jabbok, and from the wilderness even unto Jordan.”
“And they possessed all the border of the Amorites, from the Arnon even unto the Jabbok, and from the wilderness even unto the Jordan. ”
“They possessed all the border of the Amorites, from the Arnon even to the Jabbok, and from the wilderness even to the Jordan.”
“They took all the Amorite territory from the Arnon River on the south to the Jabbok River on the north, from the desert in the east to the Jordan in the west.”
“And all the coasts thereof from the Arnon to the Jaboc, and from the wilderness to the Jordan.”
“All the limit of the Amorites was theirs, from the Arnon as far as the Jabbok and from the waste land even to Jordan.”
“And they possessed all the coasts of the Amorites, from Arnon even unto Jabbok, and from the wilderness even unto Jordan.”
And so Israel sent messengers to Sihon, the king of the Amorites, who was living at Heshbon. And they said to him, “Permit me to cross through your land as far as the river.”
But he, too, despising the words of Israel, would not permit him to cross through his borders. Instead, gathering an innumerable multitude, he went out against him at Jahaz, and he resisted strongly.
But the Lord delivered him, with his entire army, into the hands of Israel. And he struck him down, and he possessed all the land of the Amorite, the inhabitant of that region,
with all its parts, from the Arnon as far as the Jabbok, and from the wilderness even to the Jordan.
Therefore, it was the Lord, the God of Israel, who overthrew the Amorites, by means of his people Israel fighting against them. And now you wish to possess his land?
Are not the things that your god Chemosh possesses owed to you by right? And so, what the Lord our God has obtained by victory falls to us as a possession.
Or are you, perhaps, better than Balak, the son of Zippor, the king of Moab? Or are you able to explain what his argument was against Israel, and why he fought against him?
