Lemmas come mainly from word-level tagging of other books in the same language (not from this verse), falling back to dictionary form-matching for the rest. Rare homographs can still be misread; verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.

And the Chananis, king of Arad, who dwelt in the wilderness, heard—for Israel came by the way of Atharin—and he fought against Israel and carried off captives from them.
And the Lord heard the voice of Israel and delivered the Chananis into his hand; and he devoted him and his cities to destruction, and they called the name of that place Anathema.
And the people spoke against God and against Moses, saying: Why did you bring us up out of Egypt to kill us in the wilderness? For there is no bread nor water, and our soul loathes this worthless bread.
And the people came to Moses and said: We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord and against you; pray therefore to the Lord, and let him take away the serpent from us. And Moses prayed to the Lord for the people.
And the Lord said to Moses: Make for yourself a serpent and set it on a standard; and it shall be that if a serpent bites a man, everyone who has been bitten, when he looks at it, shall live.
And Moses made a bronze serpent and set it on the standard; and it came to pass that whenever a serpent bit a man, and he looked at the bronze serpent, he lived.
摩西便造了一條銅蛇,立在標竿上。凡蛇咬了人,那人一望見這銅蛇,就活了。

And the sons of Israel departed and encamped in Oboth.
And departing from there, they encamped beyond Arnon in the wilderness, the part that projects from the borders of the Amorites; for Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorite.
We will pass through your land. We will go by the road; we will not turn aside either into a field or into a vineyard; we will not drink water from your well; we will go by the royal road until we have passed your borders.
And Sihon did not allow Israel to pass through his borders; and Sihon gathered all his people and went out to array himself against Israel into the wilderness, and he came to Iassa and drew up in battle against Israel.
And Israel struck him with the slaughter of the sword and took possession of his land from Arnon to Jabbok, as far as the sons of Ammon; for Iazer is the border of the sons of Ammon.
For Heshbon was the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites, and he had fought against the king of Moab formerly, and they took all his land from Aroer to Arnon.
Woe to you, Moab! You have perished, people of Chemosh! Their sons were given up to escape, and their daughters as captives to Sihon king of the Amorites.
And the Lord said to Moses: Do not fear him, for I have delivered him into your hands, and all his people and all his land; and you shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon.
