Deuteronomy 2:9-23 - The Land Of Ar

9 And Yahweh said unto me - Do not lay siege to Moab, nor engage in strife with them in battle, - for I will not give unto thee of his and as a possession, for unto the sons of Lot, have I given Ar, as a possession.

10 the Emim, formerly dwelt therein, - a people great and many and tall, like the Anakim. 11 Giants, used, they also, to be accounted like the Anakim, - but the Moabites, called them Emim. 12 And in Seir, dwelt the Horim aforetime, but, the sons of Esau, dispossessed them, and destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their stead, - as did Israel unto the land of his own possession, which Yahweh had given unto them.

13 Now, arise, and pass ye over the ravine of Zered. So we passed over the ravine of Zered. 14 Now, the days in which we journeyed from Kadesh-barnea, as far as where we crossed the ravine of Zered, were thirty-eight years, - until all the generation of the men of war were consumed out of the midst of the camp, as Yahweh had sworn unto them. 15 Yea, even the hand of Yahweh was against them, to destroy them out of the midst of the camp, - until they were consumed.

16 So it came to pass when all the men of war were consumed by dying, out of the midst of the people, 17 then spake Yahweh unto me, saying: 18 Thou, art passing, to-day, the boundary of Moab even Ar; 19 so wilt thou draw near over against the sons of Ammon, do not thou besiege them neither engage in strife with them, - for I will not give of the land of the sons of Ammon unto thee as a possession, for unto the sons of Lot, have I given it as a possession.

20 A land of giants, used, that also, to be accounted, - giants, dwelt therein aforetime, but the Ammonites, called them Zamzummim: 21 a people great and many and tall, like the Anakim, - but Yahweh destroyed them from before them, and they took their possessions, and dwelt in their stead: 22 as he did for the sons of Esau, who are dwelling in Seir, - when he destroyed the Horim from before them, and they took their possessions and have dwelt in their stead, even unto this day. 23 The Avvim also, who dwelt in settlements as far as Gaza, Caphtorim, who were coming forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and dwelt in their stead.
