Deuteronomy 2:8–23

^8gAnd when we passed by from our brethren the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, through the way of the plain from ^hElath, and from ⁱEzion-gaber, we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab. ⁹And the Lord said unto me, Distress not the Moabites, neither ^econtend with them in battle: for I will not give thee of their land for a possession; because I have given ^jAr unto ^kthe children of Lot for a possession. ¹⁰(^lThe Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and many, and tall, as ^mthe Anakims; ¹¹which also were accounted ⁿgiants, as the Anakims; but the Moabites call them Emims. ^12oThe Horims also dwelt in Seir beforetime; but the children of Esau succeeded them, when they had destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their stead; as ^pIsrael did unto the land of his possession, which the Lord gave unto them.) ¹³Now rise up, ^qsaid I, and get you over the brook Zered. And we went over the brook Zered. ¹⁴And the space in which we came from ^rKadesh-barnea, until we were come over the brook Zered, was thirty and eight years; ^suntil all the generation of the men of war were wasted out from among the host, as the Lord sware unto them. ¹⁵For indeed the hand of the Lord was against them, to destroy them from among the host, until they were consumed.

¹⁶So it came to pass, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people, ¹⁷that the Lord spake unto me, saying, ¹⁸Thou art to pass over through Ar, the coast of Moab, this day: ¹⁹and when thou comest nigh over against the children of Ammon, distress them not, nor ^emeddle with them: for I will not give thee of the land of the children of Ammon any possession; because I have given it unto ^tthe children of Lot for a possession. ²⁰(That also was accounted a land of ^ugiants: giants dwelt therein in old time; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims; ^21xa people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims; but the Lord destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead: ²²as he did to the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, when he destroyed ^ythe Horims from before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead even unto this day: ²³and ^zthe Avims which dwelt in Hazerim, even unto ^aAzzah, ^bthe Caphtorims, which came forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and dwelt in their stead.)
