Moses defeated that king and the leaders of Midian who lived in that country. Those leaders were: Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur and Reba who (plur.) had made an alliance with Sihon.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)

  • Hiligaynon: “and all the towns/cities of the valley/plain and all the towns/cities which are-under-the-jurisdiction of Sihon the king of the Amornon who reigned in Heshbon. He was-defeated by Moises as-well-as the kings of Midian who were Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba. (This they)/These reigned in their lands under the ruling of King Sihon.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “That land included all the towns on the plain and all the area that King Sihon had previously ruled. But the army of Moses had defeated him and the rulers of the Midian people-group: Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba. The armies of all those rulers fought battles along with the army of Sihon, and they lived in that country.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
