Context of Deuteronomy 2:13
11They were thought to be Rephaim, like the people of Anak, but the Moabites called them Emites. 12The Horites used to live in Seir, but the descendants of Esau claimed their land, wiped them out, and took their place, as Israel did in the land that the Lord gave them. Then the Lord said, “Now cross the Zered River.” So we crossed the Zered River. 14Thirty-eight years passed from the time we left Kadesh Barnea until we crossed the Zered River. During that time all our soldiers from that generation died, as the Lord had sworn they would. 15In fact, it was the Lord himself who got rid of all of them until none were left in the camp.

This is recorded to encourage the…Read the comment

- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 8-188-18. we passed ... through the way of the plain--the Arabah or great valley, from Elath ("trees") (the Ailah of the Greeks and Romans).
