05:002:009 And 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.
05:002:010 The Emims dwelt therein in times past,
a people great, and
many,
and tall, as the Anakims;
05:002:011 Which also were accounted giants, as the
Anakims; but the
Moabites
called them Emims.
05:002:012 The Horims also dwelt in Seir beforetime;
but the children of
Esau
succeeded them, when they had destroyed them from before
them,
and dwelt in their stead; as Israel did unto the land
of
his
possession, which the lord gave unto them.
05:002:013 Now rise up, said I, and get you over the
brook Zered. And we
went
over the brook Zered.
05:002:014 And 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.
05:002:015 For indeed the hand of the lord was
against them, to destroy
them
from among the host, until they were consumed.
05:002:016 So it came to pass, when all the men of
war were consumed and
dead
from among the people,
05:002:017 That the lord spake unto me, saying,
05:002:018 Thou art to pass over through Ar, the coast of Moab, this day:
05:002:019 And 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.
05:002:020 (That also was accounted a land of giants:
giants dwelt
therein
in old time; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims;
05:002:021 A 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:
05:002:022 As he did to the children of Esau, which
dwelt in Seir, when
he
destroyed the Horims from before them; and they succeeded
them,
and dwelt in their stead even unto this day:
05:002:023 And the Avims which dwelt in Hazerim, even
unto Azzah, the
Caphtorims,
which came forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them,
and
dwelt in their stead.)
05:002:024 Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass
over the river Arnon:
behold,
I have given into thine hand Sihon the Amorite, king
of
Heshbon, and his land: begin to possess it, and
contend
with
him in battle.
