Deuteronomy:2:1-23
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Then we turned ,
and took our journey into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea ,
as LORD spoke to me .
And we encompassed mount Seir many days .
*
And LORD spoke to me ,
saying ,
*
Ye have encompassed this mountain long enough ,
turn northward .
*
And command thou the people ,
saying ,
Ye are to pass through the border of your brothers the sons of Esau ,
who dwell in Seir ,
and they will be afraid of you .
Take ye good heed to yourselves therefore .
*
Do not 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 .
*
Ye shall purchase food from them for money ,
that ye may eat ,
and ye shall also buy water from them for money ,
that ye may drink .
*
For LORD thy God has blessed thee in all the work of thy hand .
He has known thy walking through this great wilderness .
These forty years LORD thy God has been with thee ;
thou have lacked nothing .
*
So we passed by from our brothers the sons of Esau ,
who dwell in Seir ,
from the way of the Arabah from Elath and from Ezion-geber .
And we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab .
*
And LORD said to me ,
Do not vex Moab ,
neither contend with them in battle ,
for I will not give thee of his land for a possession ,
because I have given Ar to the sons of Lot for a possession .
* (
The Emim dwelt in it formerly ,
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 dwelt in Seir formerly ,
but the sons of Esau succeeded them .
And they destroyed them from before them ,
and dwelt in their stead ,
as Israel did to the land of his possession ,
which LORD gave to them .)
*
Now rise up ,
and get you over the brook Zered .
And we went over the brook Zered .
*
And the days in which we came from Kadesh-barnea ,
until we came 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 LORD swore to them .
*
Moreover the hand of LORD was against them ,
to destroy them from the midst of the camp ,
until they were consumed .
*
So it came to pass ,
when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people ,
*
that LORD spoke to me ,
saying ,
*
Thou are this day to pass over Ar ,
the border of Moab .
*
And when thou come near opposite the sons of Ammon ,
do not vex them ,
nor contend with them ,
for I will not give thee of the land of the sons of Ammon for a possession ,
because I have given it to the sons of Lot for a possession .
* (
That also is accounted a land of Rephaim .
Rephaim dwelt in it formerly ,
but the Ammonites call them Zamzummim ,
*
a people great ,
and many ,
and tall ,
as the Anakim .
But LORD destroyed them before them ,
and they succeeded them ,
and dwelt in their stead ,
*
as he did for the sons of Esau ,
who dwell in Seir ,
when he destroyed the Horites from before them .
And they succeeded them ,
and dwelt in their stead even to this day .
*
And the Avvim ,
who dwelt in villages as far as Gaza ,
the Caphtorim ,
who came forth out of Caphtor ,
destroyed them ,
and dwelt in their stead .)
