Deuteronomy - ch 2 v 1 - 20
- Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea1, as Yahweh spoke to me; and we encircled Mount Seir many days.
- Yahweh spoke to me, saying,
- You have encircled this mountain long enough: turn you northward.
- Command you the people, saying, You are to pass through the border of your brothers the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir; and they will be afraid of you: take good heed to yourselves therefore;
- don't contend with them; for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as for the sole of the foot to tread on; because I have given Mount Seir to Esau for a possession.
- You shall purchase food of them for money, that you may eat; and you shall also buy water of them for money, that you may drink.
- For Yahweh your God has blessed you in all the work of your hand; he has known your walking through this great wilderness: these forty years Yahweh your God has been with you; you have lacked nothing.
- So we passed by from our brothers the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir, from the way of the Arabah from Elath and from Ezion Geber. We turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab.
- Yahweh said to me, Don't bother Moab, neither contend with them in battle; for I will not give you of his land for a possession; because I have given Ar to the children of Lot for a possession.
- (The Emim lived therein before, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakim:
- these also are accounted Rephaim, as the Anakim; but the Moabites call them Emim.
- The Horites also lived in Seir before, but the children of Esau succeeded them; and they destroyed them from before them, and lived in their place; as Israel did to the land of his possession, which Yahweh gave to them.)
- Now rise up, and get you over the brook Zered. We went over the brook Zered.
- The days in which we came from Kadesh Barnea, until we were come over the brook Zered, were thirty-eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were consumed from the midst of the camp, as Yahweh swore to them.
- Moreover the hand of Yahweh was against them, to destroy them from the midst of the camp, until they were consumed.
- So it happened, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,
- that Yahweh spoke to me, saying,
- You are this day to pass over Ar, the border of Moab:
- and when you come near over against the children of Ammon, don't bother them, nor contend with them; for I will not give you of the land of the children of Ammon for a possession; because I have given it to the children of Lot for a possession.
- (That also is accounted a land of Rephaim: Rephaim lived therein before; but the Ammonites call them Zamzummim,
- or, Sea of Reeds
