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.

16 “So it was, when all the men of war had finally perished from among the people,

17 that the Lord spoke to me, saying:

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.
