Deuteronomy 2:12

10 ^a(The Emim had dwelt there in times past, a people as great and numerous and tall as ^bthe Anakim.

11 They were also regarded as¹ giants, like the Anakim, but the Moabites call them Emim.

12 ^aThe Horites formerly dwelt in Seir, but the descendants of Esau dispossessed them and destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their¹ place, just as Israel did to the land of their possession which the Lord gave them.)

13 “ ‘Now rise and cross over ^athe Valley of the Zered.’ So we crossed over the Valley of the Zered.

14 And the time we took to come ^afrom Kadesh Barnea until we crossed over the Valley of the Zered was thirty-eight years, ^buntil all the generation of the men of war¹ was consumed from the midst of the camp, ^cjust as the Lord had sworn to them.

15 For indeed the hand of the Lord was against them, to destroy them from the midst of the camp until they¹ were consumed.

What Does Deuteronomy 2:12 Mean?

Deuteronomy 2:12

Deuteronomy 2:12 records what happened in later times, when the Edomites grew populous and strong: "The Horites formerly dwelt in Seir, but the descendants of Esau dispossessed them and destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their place, just as Israel did to the land of their possession which the LORD gave them." Because of both the Edomites' blood ties and their later conquest of the Horites of Mount Seir, the descendants of Esau later became identified as "Seir," as well as "Edom" and several other names.
