Verse 28 is found in chapter 21 of Numbers. Israel requests passage from Sihon, king of the Amorites, but he goes out to fight and is defeated. Og, king of Bashan, is also defeated. These victories east of the Jordan represent an important change from the generation that feared the inhabitants of Canaan. The people begin to experience militarily that they can advance when God gives them territories and enemies.

denn Feuer ist aus Hesbon gefahren, eine Flamme von der Stadt Sihons, die hat gefressen Ar der Moabiter und die Bürger der Höhen am Arnon.
Que fuego salió de Hesbón, Y llama de la ciudad de Sehón, Y consumió a Ar de Moab, A los señores de los altos de Arnón.
Porque salió fuego de Hesbón, una llama de la ciudad de Sehón; consumió a Ar de Moab, a los señores de las alturas del Arnón.
Car il est sorti un feu de Hesbon, Une flamme de la ville de Sihon; Elle a dévoré Ar-Moab, Les habitants des hauteurs de l'Arnon.
Perciocchè un fuoco uscì già di Hesbon, E una fiamma della città di Sihon, E consumò Ar di Moab, Gli abitanti di Bamot-Arnon.
Porque fogo saiu de Hesbom, e uma chama da cidade de Siom; e consumiu a Ar dos moabitas, e os senhores dos altos de Arnom. 29 Ai de ti, Moabe! perdido és, povo de Quemós! entregou seus filhos, que iam fugindo, e suas filhas, como cativas a Siom, rei dos amorreus.
因為有火從 希實本 發出, 有火焰從 西宏 的城冒出, 燒燬了 摩押 的 亞珥 , 亞嫩河 丘壇的主 。
