Numbers 21:28

New English Translation

²⁸For 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.

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.

Numbers 21:28

New International Version

²⁸“Fire went out from Heshbon,
a blaze from the city of Sihon.^(A)
It consumed^(B) Ar^(C) of Moab,
the citizens of Arnon’s heights.^(D)
