1 Ханаанский царь Арада, живущий к югу, услышав, что Израиль идет дорогою от Афарима, вступил в сражение с Израильтянами и несколько из них взял в плен.
1 The Canaanite, the king of Arad, who lived in the South, heard that Israel came by the way of Atharim. He fought against Israel, and took some of them captive.
2 И дал Израиль обет Господу, и сказал: если предашь народ сей в руки мои, то положу заклятие [на них и] на города их.
2 Israel vowed a vow to Yahweh, and said, “If you will indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities.”
3 Господь услышал голос Израиля и предал Хананеев в руки ему, и он положил заклятие на них и на города их и нарек имя месту тому: Хорма.
3 Yahweh listened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities. The name of the place was called Hormah.
4 От горы Ор отправились они путем Чермного моря, чтобы миновать землю Едома. И стал малодушествовать народ на пути,
4 They traveled from Mount Hor by the way to the Red Sea, to go around the land of Edom. The soul of the people was very discouraged because of the journey.
5 и говорил народ против Бога и против Моисея: зачем вывели вы нас из Египта, чтоб умереть [нам] в пустыне, ибо здесь нет ни хлеба, ни воды, и душе нашей опротивела эта негодная пища.
5 The people spoke against God and against Moses: “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no bread, there is no water, and our soul loathes this disgusting food!”
6 И послал Господь на народ ядовитых змеев, которые жалили народ, и умерло множество народа из [сынов] Израилевых.
6 Yahweh sent venomous snakes among the people, and they bit the people. Many people of Israel died.
7 И пришел народ к Моисею и сказал: согрешили мы, что говорили против Господа и против тебя; помолись Господу, чтоб Он удалил от нас змеев. И помолился Моисей [Господу] о народе.
7 The people came to Moses, and said, “We have sinned, because we have spoken against Yahweh and against you. Pray to Yahweh, that he take away the serpents from us.” Moses prayed for the people.
8 И сказал Господь Моисею: сделай себе [медного] змея и выставь его на знамя, и [если ужалит змей какого-либо человека], ужаленный, взглянув на него, останется жив.
8 Yahweh said to Moses, “Make a venomous snake, and set it on a pole. It shall happen that everyone who is bitten, when he sees it, shall live.”
9 И сделал Моисей медного змея и выставил его на знамя, и когда змей ужалил человека, он, взглянув на медного змея, оставался жив.
9 Moses made a serpent of bronze, and set it on the pole. If a serpent had bitten any man, when he looked at the serpent of bronze, he lived.
10 И отправились сыны Израилевы и остановились в Овофе;
10 The children of Israel traveled, and encamped in Oboth.
11 и отправились из Овофа и остановились в Ийе-Авариме, в пустыне, что против Моава, к восходу солнца;
11 They traveled from Oboth, and encamped at Iyeabarim, in the wilderness which is before Moab, toward the sunrise.
12 оттуда отправились, и остановились на долине Заред;
12 From there they traveled, and encamped in the valley of Zered.
13 отправившись отсюда, остановились у той части Арнона в пустыне, которая течет вне пределов Аморрея, ибо Арнон граница Моава, между Моавом и Аморреем.
13 From there they traveled, and encamped on the other side of the Arnon, which is in the wilderness that comes out of the border of the Amorites; for the Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.
14 Потому и сказано в книге браней Господних:
14 Therefore it is said in The Book of the Wars of Yahweh, “Vaheb in Suphah, the valleys of the Arnon,
15 Вагеб в Суфе и потоки Арнона, и верховье потоков, которое склоняется к Шебет-Ару и прилегает к пределам Моава.
15 the slope of the valleys that incline toward the dwelling of Ar, leans on the border of Moab.”
16 Отсюда [отправились] к Беэр; это тот колодезь, о котором Господь сказал Моисею: собери народ, и дам им воды.
16 From there they traveled to Beer; that is the well of which Yahweh said to Moses, “Gather the people together, and I will give them water.”
17 Тогда воспел Израиль песнь сию: наполняйся, колодезь, пойте ему;
17 Then Israel sang this song: “Spring up, well! Sing to it,
18 колодезь, который выкопали князья, вырыли вожди народа с законодателем жезлами своими. Из пустыни [отправились] в Матанну,
18 the well, which the princes dug, which the nobles of the people dug, with the scepter, and with their poles.” From the wilderness they traveled to Mattanah;
19 из Матанны в Нагалиил, из Нагалиила в Вамоф,
19 and from Mattanah to Nahaliel; and from Nahaliel to Bamoth;
20 из Вамофа в Гай, который в земле Моава, на вершине горы Фасги, обращенной лицем к пустыне.
20 and from Bamoth to the valley that is in the field of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looks down on the desert.
21 И послал Израиль послов к Сигону, царю Аморрейскому, [с предложением мирным,] чтобы сказать:
21 Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,
22 позволь мне пройти землею твоею; [мы пойдем дорогою,] не будем заходить в поля и виноградники, не будем пить воды из колодезей [твоих], а пойдем путем царским, доколе не перейдем пределов твоих.
22 “Let me pass through your land. We will not turn away into field or vineyard. We will not drink of the water of the wells. We will go by the king’s highway, until we have passed your border.”
23 Но Сигон не позволил Израилю идти через свои пределы; и собрал Сигон весь народ свой и выступил против Израиля в пустыню, и дошел до Иаацы, и сразился с Израилем.
23 Sihon would not allow Israel to pass through his border, but Sihon gathered all his people together, and went out against Israel into the wilderness, and came to Jahaz. He fought against Israel.
24 И поразил его Израиль мечом и взял во владение землю его от Арнона до Иавока, до пределов Аммонитских, ибо крепок был предел Аммонитян;
24 Israel struck him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, even to the children of Ammon; for the border of the children of Ammon was fortified.
25 и взял Израиль все города сии, и жил Израиль во всех городах Аморрейских, в Есевоне и во всех зависящих от него;
25 Israel took all these cities. Israel lived in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all its villages.
26 ибо Есевон был город Сигона, царя Аморрейского, и он воевал с прежним царем Моавитским и взял из руки его всю землю его до Арнона.
26 For Heshbon was the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab, and taken all his land out of his hand, even to the Arnon.
27 Потому говорят приточники: идите в Есевон, да устроят и утвердят город Сигона;
27 Therefore those who speak in proverbs say, “Come to Heshbon. Let the city of Sihon be built and established;
28 ибо огонь вышел из Есевона, пламень из города Сигонова, и пожрал Ар-Моав и владеющих высотами Арнона.
28 for a fire has gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon. It has devoured Ar of Moab, The lords of the high places of the Arnon.
29 Горе тебе, Моав! погиб ты, народ Хамоса! Разбежались сыновья его, и дочери его сделались пленницами Аморрейского царя Сигона;
29 Woe to you, Moab! You are undone, people of Chemosh! He has given his sons as fugitives, and his daughters into captivity, to Sihon king of the Amorites.
30 мы поразили их стрелами; погиб Есевон до Дивона, мы опустошили их до Нофы, которая близ Медевы.
30 We have shot at them. Heshbon has perished even to Dibon. We have laid waste even to Nophah, Which reaches to Medeba.”
31 И жил Израиль в земле Аморрейской.
31 Thus Israel lived in the land of the Amorites.
32 И послал Моисей высмотреть Иазер, и взяли [его и] селения, зависящие от него, и прогнали Аморреев, которые в них были.
32 Moses sent to spy out Jazer. They took its villages, and drove out the Amorites who were there.
33 И поворотили и пошли к Васану. И выступил против них Ог, царь Васанский, сам и весь народ его, на сражение к Едреи.
33 They turned and went up by the way of Bashan. Og the king of Bashan went out against them, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei.
34 И сказал Господь Моисею: не бойся его, ибо Я предам его и весь народ его и всю землю его в руки твои, и поступишь с ним, как поступил с Сигоном, царем Аморрейским, который жил в Есевоне.
34 Yahweh said to Moses, “Don’t fear him, for I have delivered him into your hand, with all his people, and his land. You shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon.”
35 И поразили они его и сынов его и весь народ его, так что ни одного не осталось [живого], и овладели землею его.
35 So they struck him, with his sons and all his people, until there were no survivors; and they possessed his land.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… that Moses, by the inspiration and influence of God, took brass, and made it into the figure of a cross, and set it in the holy tabernacle, and said to the people, "If ye look to this figure, and believe, ye shall be saved thereby." And when this was done, it is recorded that the serpents died, and it is …
This was done: men were bitten; they looked and were healed. What are the biting serpents?
Read in context · Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, series 1, vol. 7 (1888)
This was the figure which Moses completed by fixing the serpent to a cross, that whoso had been bitten by the living serpent, and looked to the brasen serpent, might be saved by believing.
