'Previously' in the Bible
(The Emim previously lived in it, a people large, numerous, and tall, like the Anakites.
The Horites previously lived in Seir, but the descendants of Esau dispossessed them and destroyed them {from among themselves}, as Israel did with respect to the land of their possession that Yahweh gave to them.)
(It is also considered the land of Rephaim; Rephaim lived in it {previously}, and the Ammonites called them Zamzummim,
[in order for] {a manslayer} to flee there [who] has killed his neighbor {without intent} and was not hating him {previously}, and [so] he could flee to one of these cities {and be safe}.
"Now this [is] the case of the manslayer who may flee there and live [there] who has killed his neighbor {unintentionally}, and he did not hate him {previously}.
