Deuteronomy 2:17-23

17that the Lord spoke to me, saying,

18‘Today you shall cross over 1Ar, the border of Moab.

19When you come opposite the 2sons of Ammon, do not attack 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 3the sons of Lot as a possession.’

20(It is also regarded as the land of the 4Rephaim, because the Rephaim previously 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 5them. And they dispossessed them and settled in their place,

22just as He did for the sons of Esau, who 6live in Seir, when He destroyed 7the Horites from before them; they dispossessed them and settled in their place, where they remain even to this day.

23And as for the 8Avvim, who lived in villages as far as Gaza, the 9 10Caphtorim, who came from 11 12Caphtor, destroyed them and lived in their place.)
