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.

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.

But your wives, young children, and livestock—I know that you have a lot of livestock—will remain in the cities I have given you

Moreover, he said to me, "I have taken note of these people; they are a stubborn lot!

For the LORD'S portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.
