Deuteronomy 2:8-15 - Journey Past Moab
8 So we bypassed our relatives, the descendants of Esau who live in Seir. We turned through the Arabah desert from Elath, and from Ezion-geber we traveled the desert road to Moab." 9 "Then the LORD told me, "Don't harass Moab or provoke them to war, because I won't give you any part of their land. I have given Ar to the descendants of Lot as their property.
10 (The Emites, a people as powerful, numerous, and tall as the Anakim, lived there before. 11 Like the Anakim, they were thought of as Rephaim, but the Moabites called them Emites. 12 The Horites used to live in Seir before the descendants of Esau dispossessed them, exterminated them, and settled there instead, just as Israel will do in the land of its possession, which the LORD gave them.)
13 Now get going and cross the Wadi Zered.' And so we crossed the Wadi Zered. 14 Now from the time we left Kadesh-barnea until we crossed the Wadi Zered was 38 years. All of that generation, the soldiers in the camp, were destroyed just as the LORD swore they would be. 15 Indeed, the hand of the LORD was against them to root them out from the camp until they were utterly destroyed."
