Deuteronomy 2:20

18 ‘This day you are to cross over at Ar, the boundary of Moab.

19 And when you come near the people of Ammon, do not harass them or meddle 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 ^athe descendants of Lot as a possession.’ ”

20 (That was also regarded as a land of¹ giants; giants formerly dwelt there. But the Ammonites call them ^aZamzummim,

21 ^aa people as great and numerous and tall as the Anakim. But the Lord destroyed them before them, and they dispossessed them and dwelt in their place,

22 just as He had done for the descendants of Esau, ^awho dwelt in Seir, when He destroyed ^bthe Horites from before them. They dispossessed them and dwelt in their place, even to this day.

23 And ^athe Avim, who dwelt in villages as far as Gaza—^bthe Caphtorim, who came from Caphtor, destroyed them and dwelt in their place.)

24 “ ‘Rise, take your journey, and ^across over the River Arnon. Look, I have given into your hand ^bSihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land. Begin to possess it, and engage him in battle.

25 ^aThis day I will begin to put the dread and fear of you upon the nations¹ under the whole heaven, who shall hear the report of you, and shall ^btremble and be in anguish because of you.’
