1. 남방에 거하는 가나안 사람 곧 아랏의 왕이 이스라엘이 아다림 길로 온다 함을 듣고 이스라엘을 쳐서 그 중 몇 사람을 사로잡은지라

  And when king Arad the Canaanite , which dwelt in the south , heard tell that Israel came by the way of the spies ; then he fought against Israel , and took some of them prisoners .

 

2. 이스라엘이 여호와께 서원하여 가로되 주께서 만일 이 백성을 내 손에 붙이시면 내가 그들의 성읍을 다 멸하리이다

  And Israel vowed a vow unto the Lord , and said , If thou wilt indeed deliver this people into my hand , then I will utterly destroy their cities .

 

3. 여호와께서 이스라엘의 소리를 들으시고 가나안 사람을 붙이시매 그들과 그 성읍을 다 멸하니라 그러므로 그곳 이름을 호르마라 하였더라

  And the Lord hearkened to the voice of Israel , and delivered up the Canaanites ; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities : and he called the name of the place Hormah .

 

4. 백성이 호르 산에서 진행하여 홍해 길로 좇아 에돔 땅을 둘러 행하려 하였다가 길로 인하여 백성의 마음이 상하니라

  And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea , to compass the land of Edom : and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way .

 

5. 백성이 하나님과 모세를 향하여 원망하되 어찌하여 우리를 애굽에서 인도하여 올려서 이 광야에서 죽게 하는고 이곳에는 식물도 없고 물도 없도다 우리 마음이 이 박한 식물을 싫어하노라 하매

  And the people spake against God , and against Moses , Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness ? for there is no bread , neither is there any water ; and our soul loatheth this light bread .

 

6. 여호와께서 불뱀들을 백성 중에 보내어 백성을 물게 하시므로 이스라엘 백성 중에 죽은 자가 많은지라

  And the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people , and they bit the people ; and much people of Israel died .

 

7. 백성이 모세에게 이르러 가로되 우리가 여호와와 당신을 향하여 원망하므로 범죄하였사오니 여호와께 기도하여 이 뱀들을 우리에게서 떠나게 하소서 모세가 백성을 위하여 기도하매

  Therefore the people came to Moses , and said , We have sinned , for we have spoken against the Lord , and against thee; pray unto the Lord , that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people .

 

8. 여호와께서 모세에게 이르시되 불뱀을 만들어 장대 위에 달라 물린 자마다 그것을 보면 살리라

  And the Lord said unto Moses , Make thee a fiery serpent , and set it upon a pole : and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten , when he looketh upon it, shall live .

 

9. 모세가 놋뱀을 만들어 장대 위에 다니 뱀에게 물린 자마다 놋뱀을 쳐다본즉 살더라

  And Moses made a serpent of brass , and put it upon a pole , and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man , when he beheld the serpent of brass , he lived .

 

10. 이스라엘 자손이 진행하여 오봇에 진 쳤고

  And the children of Israel set forward , and pitched in Oboth .

 

11. 오봇에서 진행하여 모압 앞 해 돋는 편 광야 이예아바림에 진 쳤고

  And they journeyed from Oboth , and pitched at Ije–abarim , in the wilderness which is before Moab , toward the sunrising .

 

12. 거기서 진행하여 세렛 골짜기에 진 쳤고

  From thence they removed , and pitched in the valley of Zared .

 

13. 거기서 진행하여 아모리인의 지경에서 흘러 나와서 광야에 이른 아르논 건너편에 진 쳤으니 아르논은 모압과 아모리 사이에서 모압의 경계가 된 것이라

  From thence they removed , and pitched on the other side of Arnon , which is in the wilderness that cometh out of the coasts of the Amorites : for Arnon is the border of Moab , between Moab and the Amorites .

 

14. 이러므로 여호와의 전쟁기에 일렀으되 수바의 와헙과 아르논 골짜기와

  Wherefore it is said in the book of the wars of the Lord , What he did in the Red sea , and in the brooks of Arnon ,

 

15. 모든 골짜기의 비탈은 아르 고을을 향하여 기울어지고 모압의 경계에 닿았도다 하였더라

  And at the stream of the brooks that goeth down to the dwelling of Ar , and lieth upon the border of Moab .

 

16. 거기서 브엘에 이르니 브엘은 여호와께서 모세에게 명하시기를 백성을 모으라 내가 그들에게 물을 주리라 하시던 우물이라

  And from thence they went to Beer : that is the well whereof the Lord spake unto Moses , Gather the people together , and I will give them water .

 

17. 그 때에 이스라엘이 노래하여 가로되 우물물아 솟아나라 너희는 그것을 노래하라

  Then Israel sang this song , Spring up , O well ; sing ye unto it:

 

18. 이 우물은 족장들이 팠고 백성의 귀인들이 홀과 지팡이로 판 것이로다 하였더라 광야에서 맛다나에 이르렀고

  The princes digged the well , the nobles of the people digged it, by the direction of the lawgiver , with their staves . And from the wilderness they went to Mattanah :

 

19. 맛다나에서 나할리엘에 이르렀고 나할리엘에서 바못에 이르렀고

  And from Mattanah to Nahaliel : and from Nahaliel to Bamoth :

 

20. 바못에서 모압 들에 있는 골짜기에 이르러 광야가 내려다 보이는 비스가 산 꼭대기에 이르렀더라

  And from Bamoth in the valley , that is in the country of Moab , to the top of Pisgah , which looketh toward Jeshimon .

 

21. 이스라엘이 아모리 왕 시혼에게 사자를 보내어 가로되

  And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites , saying ,

 

22. 우리로 당신의 땅을 통과하게 하소서 우리가 밭에든지 포도원에든지 들어가지 아니하며 우물물도 공히 마시지 아니하고 우리가 당신의 지경에서 다 나가기까지 왕의 대로로만 통행하리이다 하나

  Let me pass through thy land : we will not turn into the fields , or into the vineyards ; we will not drink of the waters of the well : but we will go along by the king’s high way , until we be past thy borders .

 

23. 시혼이 자기 지경으로 이스라엘의 통과함을 용납하지 아니하고 그 백성을 다 모아 이스라엘을 치러 광야로 나와서 야하스에 이르러 이스라엘을 치므로

  And Sihon would not suffer Israel to pass through his border : but Sihon gathered all his people together , and went out against Israel into the wilderness : and he came to Jahaz , and fought against Israel .

 

24. 이스라엘이 칼날로 그들을 쳐서 파하고 그 땅을 아르논부터 얍복까지 점령하여 암몬 자손에게까지 미치니 암몬 자손의 경계는 견고하더라

  And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword , and possessed his land from Arnon unto Jabbok , even unto the children of Ammon : for the border of the children of Ammon was strong .

 

25. 이스라엘이 이같이 그 모든 성읍을 취하고 그 아모리인의 모든 성읍 헤스본과 그 모든 촌락에 거하였으니

  And Israel took all these cities : and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites , in Heshbon , and in all the villages thereof.

 

26. 헤스본은 아모리인의 왕 시혼의 도성이라 시혼이 모압 전왕을 치고 그 모든 땅을 아르논까지 그 손에서 탈취하였더라

  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 unto Arnon .

 

27. 그러므로 시인이 읊어 가로되 너희는 헤스본으로 올지어다 시혼의 성을 세워 견고히 할지어다

  Wherefore they that speak in proverbs say , Come into Heshbon , let the city of Sihon be built and prepared :

 

28. 헤스본의 불이 나오며 시혼의 성에서 화염이 나와서 모압의 아르를 삼키며 아르논 높은 곳의 주인을 멸하였도다

  For there is a fire gone out of Heshbon , a flame from the city of Sihon : it hath consumed Ar of Moab , and the lords of the high places of Arnon .

 

29. 모압아 네가 화를 당하였도다 그모스의 백성아 네가 멸망하였도다 그가 그 아들들로 도망케 하였고 그 딸들로 아모리인의 왕 시혼의 포로가 되게 하였도다

  Woe to thee, Moab ! thou art undone , O people of Chemosh : he hath given his sons that escaped , and his daughters , into captivity unto Sihon king of the Amorites .

 

30. 우리가 그들을 쏘아서 헤스본을 디본까지 멸하였고 메드바에 가까운 노바까지 황폐케 하였도다 하였더라

  We have shot at them; Heshbon is perished even unto Dibon , and we have laid them waste even unto Nophah , which reacheth unto Medeba .

 

31. 이스라엘이 아모리인의 땅에 거하였더니

  Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites .

 

32. 모세가 또 보내어 야셀을 정탐케 하고 그 촌락들을 취하고 그 곳에 있던 아모리인을 몰아 내었더라

  And Moses sent to spy out Jaazer , and they took the villages thereof, and drove out the Amorites that were there.

 

33. 돌이켜 바산 길로 올라가매 바산 왕 옥이 그 백성을 다 거느리고 나와서 그들을 맞아 에드레이에서 싸우려 하는지라

  And they turned and went up by the way of Bashan : and Og the king of Bashan went out against them, he, and all his people , to the battle at Edrei .

 

34. 여호와께서 모세에게 이르시되 그를 두려워 말라 내가 그와 그 백성과 그 땅을 네 손에 붙였나니 너는 헤스본에 거하던 아모리인의 왕 시혼에게 행한 것 같이 그에게도 행할지니라

  And the Lord said unto Moses , Fear him not: for I have delivered him into thy hand , and all his people , and his land ; and thou shalt do to him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites , which dwelt at Heshbon .

 

35. 이에 그와 그 아들들과 그 백성을 다 쳐서 한 사람도 남기지 아니하고 그 땅을 점령하였더라

  So they smote him, and his sons , and all his people , until there was none left him alive : and they possessed his land .

【민21:1 JFB】민21:1-35. Israel Attacked by the Canaanites.
1. King Arad the Canaanite—rather, "the Canaanite king of Arad"—an ancient town on the southernmost borders of Palestine, not far from Kadesh. A hill called Tell Arad marks the spot.
heard tell that Israel came by the way of the spies—in the way or manner of spies, stealthily, or from spies sent by himself to ascertain the designs and motions of the Israelites. The Septuagint and others consider the Hebrew word "spies" a proper name, and render it: "Came by the way of Atharim towards Arad" [Kennicott].
he fought against Israel, and took some of them prisoners—This discomfiture was permitted to teach them to expect the conquest of Canaan not from their own wisdom and valor, but solely from the favor and help of God (신9:4; 시44:3, 4).

 

【민21:1 CWC】[THE JOURNEY RENEWED]
1. Preparation for the Journey, 20:14-29.
Israel prepared to renew the journey, what now does Moses do (14-18)? In what spirit does Edom meet this request (18:20)? For the reason Israel was not permitted to force a passage through Edom, see 신2:1-8.
What event in Israel's history takes place at this juncture (23-28)? In what sense was this a chastisement on Aaron (24)? Who succeeded him (26:28)? (Note the manner in which this incident is used in 사22:20-25). Compare 히7:23-25. A tomb has been erected near the spot where Aaron was buried.
2. Fightings and Fears, c. 21.
What event is narrated in the opening of chapter 21? We wonder why this discomfiture of Israel at the first was permitted, but perhaps to teach them the lesson of their weakness and of dependence solely upon God (시44:1-8. The phrase "utterly destroy" (2) might be rendered by "devote." In what earlier lesson was this subject of devotement considered?
What prolongation of their journey was necessitated by Edom's refusal (4)? What effect had this on the people? What previous cause of murmuring was renewed (5)? What chastisement followed (6)? What effect had it (7)? How did God provide for their deliverance (8:9)? In what way did this show that the deliverance was not the effect of nature or art, but of God's power and grace? How is it used in the New Testament as a type of our salvation from sin through Christ? (See 요3:14, 15.) How did this "brazen serpent" subsequently become a snare to Israel? (See 왕하18:1-4.) "That part of the desert where the Israelites now were -- near the head of the gulf of Akaba -- is infested with reptiles of various kinds, particularly lizards, which raise themselves in the air, and swing from branches; and scorpions which lying among long grass, are particularly dangerous to the bare-legged, sandaled people of the East. The species that caused so great mortality amongst the Israelites cannot be ascertained. They are said to have been fiery, either from their bright color, or the inflammation their bite occasioned." -- Bible Commentary.
In studying the verses that follow it will be desirable to have a good map.
Note what is said (14) about the book of "The Wars of the Lord" as indicating a writing of some sort of which we have little record. The words following to the end of verse 16 are apparently a quotation from this book, and presumably inserted to decide the position of Aaron.
What discovery was made near this point, and how was it celebrated (17, 18)? What country did the Israelites now obtain by right of conquest (21-32)?

 

【민21:1 MHCC】Before the people began their march round the country of Edom, the king of Arad, a Canaanite, who inhabited the southern part of the country, attacked them in the wilderness, and took some prisoners. This was to lead the Israelites to look more thoroughly to the Lord.

 

【민21:2 JFB】2, 3. Israel vowed a vow unto the Lord—Made to feel their own weakness, they implored the aid of Heaven, and, in anticipation of it, devoted the cities of this king to future destruction. The nature and consequence of such anathemas are described (레27:1-34; 신13:1-18). This vow of extermination against Arad [민21:2] gave name to the place Hormah (slaughter and destruction) though it was not accomplished till after the passage of the Jordan. Others think Hormah the name of a town mentioned (수12:14).

 

【민21:4 JFB】4. they journeyed from mount Hor—On being refused the passage requested, they returned through the Arabah, "the way of the Red Sea," to Elath, at the head of the eastern gulf of the Red Sea, and thence passed up through the mountains to the eastern desert, so as to make the circuit of the land of Edom (민33:41, 42).
the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way—Disappointment on finding themselves so near the confines of the promised land without entering it; vexation at the refusal of a passage through Edom and the absence of any divine interposition in their favor; and above all, the necessity of a retrograde journey by a long and circuitous route through the worst parts of a sandy desert and the dread of being plunged into new and unknown difficulties—all this produced a deep depression of spirits. But it was followed, as usually, by a gross outburst of murmuring at the scarcity of water, and of expressions of disgust at the manna.

 

【민21:4 MHCC】The children of Israel were wearied by a long march round the land of Edom. They speak discontentedly of what God had done for them, and distrustfully of what he would do. What will they be pleased with, whom manna will not please? Let not the contempt which some cast on the word of God, make us value it less. It is the bread of life, substantial bread, and will nourish those who by faith feed upon it, to eternal life, whoever may call it light bread. We see the righteous judgment God brought upon them for murmuring. He sent fiery serpents among them, which bit or stung many to death. It is to be feared that they would not have owned the sin, if they had not felt the smart; but they relent under the rod. And God made a wonderful provision for their relief. The Jews themselves say it was not the sight of the brazen serpent that cured; but in looking up to it, they looked up to God as the Lord that healed them. There was much gospel in this. Our Saviour declared, 요3:14, 15, that as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so the Son of man must be lifted up, that whatsoever believeth in him, should not perish. Compare their disease and ours. Sin bites like a serpent, and stings like an adder. Compare the application of their remedy and ours. They looked and lived, and we, if we believe, shall not perish. It is by faith that we look unto Jesus, 히12:2. Whosoever looked, however desperate his case, or feeble his sight, or distant his place, was certainly and perfectly cured. The Lord can relieve us from dangers and distresses, by means which human reason never would have devised. Oh that the venom of the old serpent, inflaming men's passions, and causing them to commit sins which end in their eternal destruction, were as sensibly felt, and the danger as plainly seen, as the Israelites felt pain from the bite of the fiery serpents, and feared the death which followed! Then none would shut their eyes to Christ, or turn from his gospel. Then a crucified Saviour would be so valued, that all things else would be accounted loss for him; then, without delay, and with earnestness and simplicity, all would apply to him in the appointed way, crying, Lord, save us; we perish! Nor would any abuse the freeness of Christ's salvation, while they reckoned the price which it cost him.

 

【민21:5 JFB】5. our soul loatheth this light bread—that is, bread without substance or nutritious quality. The refutation of this calumny appears in the fact, that on the strength of this food they performed for forty years so many and toilsome journeys. But they had been indulging a hope of the better and more varied fare enjoyed by a settled people; and disappointment, always the more bitter as the hope of enjoyment seems near, drove them to speak against God and against Moses (고전10:9).

 

【민21:6 JFB】6. The Lord sent fiery serpents among the people—That part of the desert where the Israelites now were—near the head of the gulf of Akaba—is greatly infested with venomous reptiles, of various kinds, particularly lizards, which raise themselves in the air and swing themselves from branches; and scorpions, which, being in the habit of lying in long grass, are particularly dangerous to the barelegged, sandaled people of the East. The only known remedy consists in sucking the wound, or, in the case of cattle, in the application of ammonia. The exact species of serpents that caused so great mortality among the Israelites cannot be ascertained. They are said to have been "fiery," an epithet applied to them either from their bright, vivid color, or the violent inflammation their bite occasioned.

 

【민21:7 JFB】7-9. the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned—The severity of the scourge and the appalling extent of mortality brought them to a sense of sin, and through the intercessions of Moses, which they implored, they were miraculously healed. He was directed to make the figure of a serpent in brass, to be elevated on a pole or standard, that it might be seen at the extremities of the camp and that every bitten Israelite who looked to it might be healed. This peculiar method of cure was designed, in the first instance, to show that it was the efficacy of God's power and grace, not the effect of nature or art, and also that it might be a type of the power of faith in Christ to heal all who look to Him because of their sins (요3:14, 15; see also on 왕하18:4).

 

【민21:10 JFB】10. the children of Israel set forward—along the eastern frontier of the Edomites, encamping in various stations.

 

【민21:10 MHCC】We have here the removes of the children of Israel, till they came to the plains of Moab, from whence they passed over Jordan into Canaan. The end of their pilgrimage was near. “They set forward.” It were well if we did thus; and the nearer we come to heaven, were so much the more active and abundant in the work of the Lord. The wonderful success God granted to his people, is here spoken of, and, among the rest, their actions on the river Arnon, at Vaheb in Suphah, and other places on that river. In every stage of our lives, nay, in every step, we should notice what God has wrought for us; what he did at such a time, and what in such a place, ought to be distinctly remembered. God blessed his people with a supply of water. When we come to heaven, we shall remove to the well of life, the fountain of living waters. They received it with joy and thankfulness, which made the mercy doubly sweet. With joy must we draw water out of the wells of salvation, 사12:3. As the brazen serpent was a figure of Christ, who is lifted up for our cure, so is this well a figure of the Spirit, who is poured forth for our comfort, and from whom flow to us rivers of living waters, 요7:38, 39. Does this well spring up in our souls? If so, we should take the comfort to ourselves, and give the glory to God. God promised to give water, but they must open the ground. God's favours must be expected in the use of such means as are within our power, but still the power is only of God.

 

【민21:12 JFB】12. pitched in the valley—literally, the "woody brook-valley" of Zared (신2:13; 사15:7; 암6:14). This torrent rises among the mountains to the east of Moab, and flowing west, empties itself into the Dead Sea. Ije-Abarim is supposed to have been its ford [Calmet].

 

【민21:13 JFB】13. pitched on the other side of Arnon—now El-Mojib, a deep, broad, and rapid stream, dividing the dominions of the Moabites and Amorites.

 

【민21:14 JFB】14. book of the wars of the Lord—A fragment or passage is here quoted from a poem or history of the wars of the Israelites, principally with a view to decide the position of Arnon.

 

【민21:15 JFB】15. Ar—the capital of Moab.

 

【민21:16 JFB】16. from thence they went to Beer—that is, a "well." The name was probably given to it afterwards [see 유9:21], as it is not mentioned (민33:1-56).

 

【민21:17 JFB】17, 18. Then Israel sang—This beautiful little song was in accordance with the wants and feelings of travelling caravans in the East, where water is an occasion both of prayer and thanksgiving. From the princes using their official rods only, and not spades, it seems probable that this well was concealed by the brushwood or the sand, as is the case with many wells in Idumea still. The discovery of it was seasonable, and owing to the special interposition of God.

 

【민21:21 JFB】21-23. Israel sent messengers unto Sihon—The rejection of their respectful and pacific message was resented—Sihon was discomfited in battle—and Israel obtained by right of conquest the whole of the Amorite dominions.

 

【민21:21 MHCC】Sihon went with his forces against Israel, out of his own borders, without provocation, and so ran upon his own ruin. The enemies of God's church often perish by the counsels they think most wisely taken. Og, king of Bashan, instead of being warned by the fate of his neighbours, to make peace with Israel, makes war with them, which proves in like manner his destruction. Wicked men do their utmost to secure themselves and their possessions against the judgments of God; but all in vain, when the day comes on which they must fall. God gave Israel success, while Moses was with them, that he might see the beginning of the glorious work, though he must not live to see it finished. This was, in comparison, but as the day of small things, yet it was an earnest of great things. We must prepare for fresh conflicts and enemies. We must make no peace or truce with the powers of darkness, nor even treat with them; nor should we expect any pause in our contest. But, trusting in God, and obeying his commands, we shall be more than conquerors over every enemy.

 

【민21:24 JFB】24. from Arnon unto Jabbok—now the Zurka. These rivers formed the southern and northern boundaries of his usurped territory.
for the border of … Ammon was strong—a reason stated for Sihon not being able to push his invasion further.

 

【민21:25 JFB】25. Israel dwelt in all the cities—after exterminating the inhabitants who had been previously doomed (신2:34).

 

【민21:26 JFB】26. Heshbon—(아7:4)—situated sixteen English miles north of the Arnon, and from its ruins it appears to have been a large city.

 

【민21:27 JFB】27-30. Wherefore they that speak in proverbs—Here is given an extract from an Amorite song exultingly anticipating an extension of their conquests to Arnon. The quotation from the poem of the Amorite bard ends at 민21:28. The two following verses appear to be the strains in which the Israelites expose the impotence of the usurpers.

 

【민21:29 JFB】29. people of Chemosh—the name of the Moabite idol (왕상11:7-33; 왕하23:13; 렘48:46).
he—that is, their god, hath surrendered his worshippers to the victorious arms of Sihon.

 

【민21:33 JFB】33. they turned and went up by the way of Bashan—a name given to that district from the richness of the soil—now Batanea or El-Bottein—a hilly region east of the Jordan lying between the mountains of Hermon on the north and those of Gilead on the south.
Og—a giant, an Amoritish prince, who, having opposed the progress of the Israelites, was defeated.

 

【민21:34 JFB】34, 35. The Lord said unto Moses, Fear him not—a necessary encouragement, for Og's gigantic stature (신3:11) was calculated to inspire terror. He and all his were put to the sword.
