Deuteronomy 2:12-22
121The Horites formerly lived in Seir, but the sons of Esau dispossessed them and destroyed them from before them and settled in their place, 2just as Israel did to the land of 3their possession which the Lord gave to them.) 13‘Now arise and cross over the 4brook Zered yourselves.’ So we crossed over the 5brook Zered. 14Now the 6time that it took for us to come from Kadesh-barnea until we crossed over the 7brook Zered was 8thirty-eight years, until 9all the generation of the men of war perished from within the camp, as 10the Lord had sworn to them. 1511Moreover the hand of the Lord was against them, to destroy them from within the camp until they all perished.
16“So it came about when 12all the men of war had finally perished from among the people, 17that the Lord spoke to me, saying, 18‘Today you shall cross over 13Ar, the border of Moab. 19When you come opposite the 14sons of Ammon, do not harass them nor provoke them, for I will not give you any of the land of the sons of Ammon as a possession, because I have given it to 15the sons of Lot as a possession.’ 20(It is also regarded as the land of the 16Rephaim, for Rephaim formerly lived in it, but the Ammonites call them Zamzummin, 21a people as great, numerous, and tall as the Anakim, but the Lord destroyed them before them. And they dispossessed them and settled in their place, 22just as He did for the sons of Esau, who 17live in Seir, when He destroyed 18the Horites from before them; they dispossessed them and settled in their place even to this day.
