申2:2And the LORD spake unto me, saying,

申2:3Ye have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you northward.

申2:4And command thou the people, saying, Ye are to pass through the coast of your brethren the children of Esau, which dwell in Seir; and they shall be afraid of you: take ye good heed unto yourselves therefore:

申2:5Meddle not with them; for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as a foot breadth; because I have given mount Seir unto Esau for a possession.

申2:6Ye shall buy meat of them for money, that ye may eat; and ye shall also buy water of them for money, that ye may drink.

申2:7For the LORD thy God hath blessed thee in all the works of thy hand: he knoweth thy walking through this great wilderness: these forty years the LORD thy God hath been with thee; thou hast lacked nothing.

申2:8And when we passed by from our brethren the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, through the way of the plain from Elath, and from Eziongaber, we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab.

申2:9And the LORD said unto me, Distress not the Moabites, neither contend with them in battle: for I will not give thee of their land for a possession; because I have given Ar unto the children of Lot for a possession.

申2:13Now rise up, said I, and get you over the brook Zered. And we went over the brook Zered.

申2:14And the space in which we came from Kadeshbarnea, until we were come over the brook Zered, was thirty and eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were wasted out from among the host, as the LORD sware unto them.

申2:15For indeed the hand of the LORD was against them, to destroy them from among the host, until they were consumed.

申2:16So it came to pass, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,

申2:17That the LORD spake unto me, saying,

申2:18Thou art to pass over through Ar, the coast of Moab, this day:

申2:19And when thou comest nigh over against the children of Ammon, distress them not, nor meddle with them: for I will not give thee of the land of the children of Ammon any possession; because I have given it unto the children of Lot for a possession.

申2:20(That also was accounted a land of giants: giants dwelt therein in old time; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims;

申2:21A 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:
