Deuteronomy 2:9-23

9And Jehovah saidH559 to me, Distress not the Moabites, neither engage with them in battleH4421; for I will not giveH5414 thee of their landH776 a possessionH3425; for unto the children of LotH3876 have I givenH5414 ArH6144 as a possessionH3425.

10(The Emim dweltH3427 therein in times past, a peopleH5971 greatH1419, and manyH7227, and tall as the Anakim.

11They alsoH637 are reckonedH2803 as giants like the Anakim; but the MoabitesH4125 callH7121 them Emim.

12And in SeirH8165 dweltH3427 the Horites in times past; and the children of EsauH6215 dispossessedH3423 them, and destroyedH8045 them from before them, and dweltH3427 in their stead; as IsraelH3478 did to the landH776 of their possessionH3423, which Jehovah gaveH5414 to them.)

13NowH6258 riseH6965 up, and passH5674 over the torrent ZeredH2218. And we passedH5674 over the torrent ZeredH2218.

14Now the daysH3117 in which we cameH1980 from Kadesh-barneaH6947, until we had comeH1980 over the torrent ZeredH2218, were thirty-eight yearsH8141; until the whole generationH1755 of the menH376 of warH4421 was consumed from the midstH7130 of the campH4264, as Jehovah had swornH7650 unto them.

15Moreover the handH3027 of Jehovah wasH1961 against them to destroy them from the midstH7130 of the campH4264, until they wereH1961 consumed.

16And it came to pass when all the menH376 of warH4421 were consumed, having diedH4191 off from among the peopleH5971,

17that Jehovah spokeH1696 to me, sayingH559,

18Thou art to passH5674 this dayH3117 over the borderH1366 of MoabH4124, [which is] ArH6144,

19and come near over against the children of AmmonH5983; thou shalt not distress them nor attack them; for I will not giveH5414 thee of the landH776 of the children of AmmonH5983 a possessionH3425; for unto the children of LotH3876 have I givenH5414 it as a possessionH3425.

20(That alsoH637 is reckonedH2803 a landH776 of giants: giants dweltH3427 therein in time past, and the AmmonitesH5984 callH7121 them Zamzummim;

21a peopleH5971 greatH1419, and manyH7227, and tall as the Anakim; and Jehovah destroyedH8045 them before them, and they dispossessedH3423 them, and dweltH3427 in their stead;

22as he did to the children of EsauH6215, who dweltH3427 in SeirH8165, from before whom he destroyedH8045 the Horites; and they dispossessedH3423 them, and dweltH3427 in their stead, even to this dayH3117.

23And the Avvites who dweltH3427 in the hamlets as far as Gazah — the Caphtorim, who cameH3318 out of CaphtorH3731, destroyedH8045 them, and dweltH3427 in their stead.)
