Deuteronomy 2:12-22

12Before this time, the Horites lived in Seir, but the descendants of Esau chased them away. They destroyed the Horites and they lived in their country. The Israelites did the same thing to the people who had lived in the land that the Lord gave to them.)

13Then the Lord said, ‘Get up now and cross the Zered valley.’ So we went across the stream.

1438 years had passed since we left Kadesh-Barnea. By the time we crossed the Zered valley, all the men who had been old enough to fight had now died. The Lord had said that this would happen.

15The Lord himself removed them so that they all died, one by one.

16Finally, the last one of these men died and no longer lived among the people.

17Then the Lord said to me,

18‘Today you will cross the border of Moab at Ar.

19You will go into the land of the Ammonites. Do not make them angry so that they fight against you. I will not give any of their land to you. I have already given it to Lot's descendants so that they can live there.’

20(People also call this region the land of the Rephaites, who had once lived there. The Ammonites called them Zamzummites.

21There were many Zamzummites and they were as tall and strong as the Anakites. The Lord destroyed the Rephaites when the Ammonites moved in. Then the Ammonites lived there instead of the Rephaites.

22The Lord had done the same thing for Esau's descendants who lived in Seir. The Lord destroyed the Horites when Esau's descendants moved in and chased them out. Esau's descendants still live in their country today.
