Then from the waste land of Kedemoth I sent representatives to Sihon, king of Heshbon, with words of peace, saying,
And he sent letters to all the Jews in the hundred and twenty-seven divisions of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, with true words of peace,
And Israel sent men to Sihon, king of the Amorites, saying,
After he had overcome Sihon, king of the Amorites, ruling in Heshbon, and Og, king of Bashan, ruling in Ashtaroth, at Edrei:
Let me go through your land: I will keep to the highway, not turning to the right or to the left;
And Jahaz, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath;
Kedemoth and Mephaath with their grass-lands, four towns.
And Israel sent men to Sihon, king of the Amorites, the king of Heshbon; and Israel said to him, Let me now go through your land to my place.
