Deuteronomy 2:8-25
8And when we passedH5674 by from our brethrenH251 the childrenH1121 of EsauH6215, which dweltH3427 in SeirH8165, through the wayH1870 of the plainH6160 from ElathH359, and from Ezion–gaberH6100, we turnedH6437 and passedH5674 by the wayH1870 of the wildernessH4057 of MoabH4124. 9And YhwhH3068 saidH559 unto me, DistressH6696 not the MoabitesH4124, neither contendH1624 with them in battleH4421: for I will not giveH5414 thee of their landH776 for a possessionH3425; because I have givenH5414 ArH6144 unto the childrenH1121 of LotH3876 for a possessionH3425.1 10The EmimsH368 dweltH3427 therein in times pastH6440, a peopleH5971 greatH1419, and manyH7227, and tallH7311, as the AnakimsH6062; 11WhichH1992 also were accountedH2803 giantsH7497, as the AnakimsH6062; but the MoabitesH4125 callH7121 them EmimsH368. 12The HorimsH2752 also dweltH3427 in SeirH8165 beforetimeH6440; but the childrenH1121 of EsauH6215 succeededH3423 them, when they had destroyedH8045 them from beforeH6440 them, and dweltH3427 in their stead; as IsraelH3478 didH6213 unto the landH776 of his possessionH3425, which YhwhH3068 gaveH5414 unto them.23 13Now rise upH6965, said I, and get you overH5674 the brookH5158 ZeredH2218. And we went overH5674 the brookH5158 ZeredH2218.4 14And the spaceH3117 in which we cameH1980 from Kadesh–barneaH6947, until we were come overH5674 the brookH5158 ZeredH2218, was thirtyH7970 and eightH8083 yearsH8141; until all the generationH1755 of the menH582 of warH4421 were wasted outH8552 from amongH7130 the armyH4264, as YhwhH3068 swareH7650 unto them.5 15For indeed the handH3027 of YhwhH3068 was against them, to destroyH2000 them from amongH7130 the armyH4264, until they were consumedH8552.
16So it came to pass, when all the menH582 of warH4421 were consumedH8552 and deadH4191 from amongH7130 the peopleH5971, 17That YhwhH3068 spakeH1696 unto me, sayingH559, 18Thou art to pass overH5674 through ArH6144, the coastH1366 of MoabH4124, this dayH3117: 19And when thou comest nighH7126 over againstH4136 the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, distressH6696 them not, nor meddleH1624 with them: for I will not giveH5414 thee of the landH776 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 any possessionH3425; because I have givenH5414 it unto the childrenH1121 of LotH3876 for a possessionH3425. 20(That also was accountedH2803 a landH776 of giantsH7497: giantsH7497 dweltH3427 therein in old timeH6440; and the AmmonitesH5984 callH7121 them ZamzummimsH2157;6 21A peopleH5971 greatH1419, and manyH7227, and tallH7311, as the AnakimsH6062; But YhwhH3068 destroyedH8045 them beforeH6440 them; and they succeededH3423 them, and dweltH3427 in their stead: 22As he didH6213 to the childrenH1121 of EsauH6215, which dweltH3427 in SeirH8165, when he destroyedH8045 the HorimsH2752 from beforeH6440 them; and they succeededH3423 them, and dweltH3427 in their stead even unto this dayH3117: 23And the AvimsH5761 which dweltH3427 in HazerimH2699, even unto AzzahH5804, the CaphtorimsH3732, which came forthH3318 out of CaphtorH3731, destroyedH8045 them, and dweltH3427 in their stead.)
24Rise ye upH6965, take your journeyH5265, and pass overH5674 the riverH5158 ArnonH769: beholdH7200, I have givenH5414 into thine handH3027 SihonH5511 the AmoriteH567, kingH4428 of HeshbonH2809, and his landH776: beginH2490 to possessH3423 it, and contendH1624 with him in battleH4421.7 25This dayH3117 will I beginH2490 to putH5414 the dreadH6343 of thee and the fearH3374 of thee upon the nationsH5971H6440 that are under the whole heavenH8064, who shall hearH8085 reportH8088 of thee, and shall trembleH7264, and be in anguishH2342 because of theeH6440.
