05_DEU_02_01 Then we turned , And took our journey into the wilderness by the way of the red sea , as the LORD spake unto me : And we compassed mount Seir Many days .
05_DEU_02_02 And the LORD spake unto me , saying ,
05_DEU_02_03 ye have compassed this mountain long enough : turn you northward .
05_DEU_02_04 And command thou the people , saying , ye [ are ] to pass through the coast of your brethren the children of Esau , which dwell in Seir ; And they shall be afraid of you : take ye good heed unto yourselves therefore :
05_DEU_02_05 meddle not with them ; for I will not give you of their land , no , not So much as A foot breadth ; because I have given mount Seir unto Esau [ for ] A possession .
05_DEU_02_06 ye shall buy meat of them for money , that ye may eat ; And ye shall also buy water of them for money , that ye may drink .
05_DEU_02_07 for the LORD thy God hath blessed thee in all the works of thy hand : he knoweth thy walking through this great wilderness : These forty years the LORD thy God [ hath been ] with thee ; thou hast lacked nothing .
05_DEU_02_08 And when we passed by from our brethren the children of Esau , which dwelt in Seir , through the way of the plain from Elath , And from Eziongaber , we turned And passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab .
05_DEU_02_09 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 .
05_DEU_02_10 the Emims dwelt therein in times past , A people great , And Many , And tall , as the Anakims ;
05_DEU_02_11 which also were accounted giants , as the Anakims ; but the Moabites call them Emims .
05_DEU_02_12 the Horims also dwelt in Seir beforetime ; but the children of Esau succeeded them , when they had destroyed them from before them , And dwelt in their stead ; as Israel did unto the land of his possession , which the LORD gave unto them .
05_DEU_02_13 now rise up , [ said I ] , And get you over the brook Zered . And we went over the brook Zered .
05_DEU_02_14 And the space in which we came from Kadeshbarnea , until we were come over the brook Zered , [ was ] thirty And eight years ; until all the generation of the men of war were wasted out from among the host , as the LORD sware unto them .
05_DEU_02_15 for indeed the hand of the LORD was against them , to destroy them from among the host , until they were consumed .
05_DEU_02_16 So it came to pass , when all the men of war were consumed And dead from among the people ,
05_DEU_02_17 that the LORD spake unto me , saying ,
05_DEU_02_18 thou art to pass over through Ar , the coast of Moab , this day :
05_DEU_02_19 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 .
05_DEU_02_20 [ that also was accounted A land of giants : giants dwelt therein in old time ; And the Ammonites call them Zamzummims ;
05_DEU_02_21 A people great , And Many , And tall , as the Anakims ; but the LORD destroyed them before them ; And they succeeded them , And dwelt in their stead :
05_DEU_02_22 as he did to the children of Esau , which dwelt in Seir , when he destroyed the Horims from before them ; And they succeeded them , And dwelt in their stead even unto this day :
05_DEU_02_23 And the Avims which dwelt in Hazerim , [ even ] unto Azzah , the Caphtorims , which came forth out of Caphtor , destroyed them , And dwelt in their stead . ]
05_DEU_02_24 rise ye up , take your journey , And pass over the river Arnon : behold , I have given into thine hand Sihon the Amorite , king of Heshbon , And his land : begin to possess [ it ] , And contend with him in battle .
05_DEU_02_25 this day will I begin to put the dread of thee And the Fear of thee upon the nations [ that are ] under the whole heaven , who shall hear report of thee , And shall tremble , And be in anguish because of thee .
05_DEU_02_26 And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace , saying ,
05_DEU_02_27 let me pass through thy land : I will go along by the high way , I will neither turn unto the right hand nor to the left .
05_DEU_02_28 thou shalt sell me meat for money , that I may eat ; And give me water for money , that I may drink : only I will pass through on my feet ;
05_DEU_02_29 [ as the children of Esau which dwell in Seir , And the Moabites which dwell in Ar , did unto me ; ] until I shall pass over Jordan into the land which the LORD our God giveth us .
05_DEU_02_30 but Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him : for the LORD thy God hardened his spirit , And made his heart obstinate , that he might deliver him into thy hand , as [ appeareth ] this day .
05_DEU_02_31 And the LORD said unto me , behold , I have begun to give Sihon And his land before thee : begin to possess , that thou mayest inherit his land .
05_DEU_02_32 Then Sihon came out against us , he And all his people , to fight at Jahaz .
05_DEU_02_33 And the LORD our God delivered him before us ; And we smote him , And his sons , And all his people .
05_DEU_02_34 And we took all his cities at that time , And utterly destroyed the men , And the women , And the little ones , of every city , we left none to remain :
05_DEU_02_35 only the cattle we took for A prey unto ourselves , And the spoil of the cities which we took .
05_DEU_02_36 from Aroer , which [ Is ] by the brink of the river of Arnon , And [ from ] the city that [ Is ] by the river , even unto Gilead , there was not one city too strong for us : the LORD our God delivered all unto us :
05_DEU_02_37 only unto the land of the children of Ammon thou camest not , [ nor ] unto any place of the river Jabbok , nor unto the cities in the mountains , nor unto whatsoever the LORD our God forbad us .
