Numbers 21:28

For fire went out from Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon. It has consumed Ar of Moab and the lords ¹  of the high places of Arnon.

Nu 21:15; De 2:9,18; Jud 9:20; Isa 10:16; Isa 15:1,2; Jer 48:45,46; Am 1:4,7,10,12,14; Am 2:2,5

¹ tc Some scholars emend to בָּלְעָה (bal’ah), reading “and devoured,” instead of בַּעֲלֵי (ba’aley, “its lords”); cf. NAB, NRSV, TEV. This emendation is closer to the Greek and makes a better parallelism, but the MT makes good sense as it stands.
