And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,
And he sent the letters to all the Jews, to the hundred twenty seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, with words of peace and truth,
And Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,
After he had slain Sihon the king of the Amorites, which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, which dwelt at Astaroth in Edrei:
Let me pass through your land: I will go along by the highway, I will neither turn to the right hand nor to the left.
And Jahazah, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath,
Kedemoth with her open country, and Mephaath with her open country; four cities.
And Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, the king of Heshbon; and Israel said to him, Let us pass, we pray you, through your land into our place.
