Deuteronomy 2:8–23

⁸So ^mwe went on, away from our brothers, the people of Esau, who live in Seir, away from ⁿthe Arabah road from ^oElath and ^pEzion-geber.

“And we turned and went in the direction of the wilderness of Moab. ⁹And the Lord said to me, ^q‘Do not harass Moab or contend with them in battle, for I will not give you any of their land for a possession, because I have given ^rAr to ^sthe people of Lot for a possession.’ ¹⁰(^tThe Emim formerly lived there, ^ua people great and many, and tall ^vas the Anakim. ¹¹Like the Anakim they are also counted as ^wRephaim, but the Moabites call them Emim. ^12xThe Horites also lived in Seir formerly, but the people of Esau dispossessed them and destroyed them from before them and settled in their place, ^yas Israel did to the land of their possession, which the Lord gave to them.) ¹³‘Now rise up and go over ^zthe brook Zered.’ So we went over ^zthe brook Zered. ¹⁴And the time from our leaving ^aKadesh-barnea until we crossed ^bthe brook Zered was thirty-eight years, ^cuntil the entire generation, that is, the men of war, had perished from the camp, as the Lord had sworn to them. ¹⁵For indeed the hand of the Lord was against them, to destroy them from the camp, until they had perished.

¹⁶“So as soon as all the men of war had perished and were dead from among the people, ¹⁷the Lord said to me, ¹⁸‘Today you are to cross the border of Moab at Ar. ¹⁹And when you approach the territory of the people of Ammon, ^ddo not harass them or contend with them, for I will not give you any of the land of the people of Ammon as a possession, because I have given it to ^ethe sons of Lot for a possession.’ ²⁰(It is also counted as a land of ^fRephaim. Rephaim formerly lived there—but the Ammonites call them Zamzummim— ^21ga people great and many, and tall as the Anakim; but the Lord destroyed them before the Ammonites,¹ and they dispossessed them and settled in their place, ²²as he did for the people of Esau, who live in Seir, when he destroyed ^hthe Horites before them and they dispossessed them and settled in their place even to this day. ²³As for ⁱthe Avvim, who lived in villages as far as ^jGaza, ^kthe Caphtorim, who came from Caphtor, destroyed them and settled in their place.)
