Deuteronomy 2:9-23 - The Land Of Ar

9 And Jehovah said to me, Do not besiege Moab, nor fight with them in battle. For I will not give you any of their land for a possession. Because I have given Ar to the sons of Lot for a possession.

10 The Emim lived there in times past, a great people, who were many and tall like the Anakim. 11 And they were known as giants, like the sons of Anak, but the Moabites called them Emim. 12 The Horim also lived in Seir in times past. But the sons of Esau took their place when they had destroyed them from before them, and lived in their place; as Israel did to the land of his possession, which Jehovah gave to them.

13 Now rise up and cross over the brook Zered. And we went over the brook Zered. 14 And the days in which we came from Kadesh-barnea, until we had come over the brook Zered were thirty-eight years; until the end of all the generation. The men of war were destroyed from the midst of the camp, as Jehovah swore to them. 15 And the hand of Jehovah was against them, to destroy them from among the camp, until they were consumed.

16 And it happened, when all the men of war had finished dying from among the people, 17 Jehovah spoke to me, saying, 18 today you are passing over the border of Moab, even Ar. 19 And when you come near, across from the sons of Ammon, do not trouble them nor be stirred up against them. For I will not give you any possessions from the land of the sons of Ammon, because I have given it to the sons of Lot for a possession.

20 It also was known to be a land of giants. Giants lived there in past times. And the Ammonites call them Zamzumim, 21 a great and plentiful people, and tall, like the sons of Anak, but Jehovah destroyed them before them. And they expelled them and lived in their place, 22 as He did to the sons of Esau who lived in Seir, when he destroyed the Horim from before them. And they expelled them and lived in their place even to this day. 23 And the Avvim who lived in villages as far as Azzah, the Caphtorites, who came forth out of Caphtor destroyed them, and lived in their place.
