8 Then passed we by our brethren the children of Esau, that dwell in Seir, by the way of the wilderness of Elath, and of Asion-gaber: then turned we, and went in the way of the wilderness of Moab. 9 Then said the Lord unto me, trouble not Moab, neither provoke him to battle: for I will not give thee any piece of his land to possess, because I have given Ar in possession to the children of Lot. 10 The Emians dwelt there before, which were a great people and many in number, and tall as the Enakims. 11 And likewise they were counted Giants as the Enakims, and the Moabites called them Emins. 12 Likewise in Seir dwelt the Horians aforetimes. But the children of Esau drave them out, and destroyed them before them, and dwelt there in their stead, like as Israel hath done in the land of their possession, which the Lord hath given them. 13 Then said I, now then, get ye up, and go ye over the river Zared. And we went over the river of Zared. 14 And the time wherein we travailed from Cades barne until we passed the river of Zared, lasted eight and thirty years, even until the whole generation of the men of war was consumed from among the host, as the Lord God had sworn unto them. 15 For the hand of the Lord was against them, to destroy them from among the host, until he had consumed them. 16 And it came to pass, that when all the men of war were consumed from among the people, 17 Then the Lord spake unto Moses, saying: 18 This day shalt thou pass the borders of Moab by Ar, 19 And come to the children of Ammon, whom thou shalt not besiege, nor provoke them: for I will not give thee any possession in the land of the children of Ammon, because I have given it in possession to the children of Loth. 20 This land also was counted a land of Giants: for Giants dwelt in it aforetimes: and the Ammonites called them Zomzomins: 21 A great people and many in number, and tall as the Enakims. But the Lord destroyed them before them. And so they possessed it and dwelt there in their stead: 22 Like as he had done for the children of Esau that dwell in Seir, when he destroyed the Horims before them: by reason whereof they possessed their land, and dwelt there in their stead even unto this day. 23 Also the Caphthorims that came out of Caphthor, destroyed the Evims that dwelt in Hazerin even unto Gaza, and dwelled there in their stead.
