Números 21:32 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 21:32

And Moses sent to spy out Jaazer
Or Jazer, as it is called in ( Isaiah 16:9 ) ( Jeremiah 48:32 ) , another city that belonged to the Amorites, and which they had taken from the Moabites; and which came into the hands of the latter again, after the captivity of the ten tribes, as appears from the above places; according to Jerom ^F19, it was fifteen miles distant from Heshbon:

and they took the villages thereof;
not the spies, as Jarchi, but the Israelites under Moses; who upon the return of the spies, and the report they made, marched towards it, and took it, and all the towns and villages round about it; for it seems to have been a principal city:

and drove out the Amorites that were there;
that dwelt there, and were in possession of it; otherwise they would not have attacked it, had it, and its villages, been in the hands of the Moabites.

30 Mas nosotros los hemos arrojado; Hesbón está destruido hasta Dibón; después también asolamos hasta Nofa, la que llega hasta Medeba.

31 Así habitó Israel en la tierra de los amorreos.

32 Y Moisés envió a reconocer a Jazer, y tomaron sus villas y expulsaron a los amorreos que vivían allí.

33 Después se volvieron y subieron por el camino de Basán; y Og, rey de Basán, salió con todo su pueblo para presentarles batalla en Edrei.

34 Pero el SEÑOR dijo a Moisés: No le tengas miedo porque lo he entregado en tu mano, y a todo su pueblo y a su tierra; y harás con él como hiciste con Sehón, rey de los amorreos, el que habitaba en Hesbón.
