13. Now rise up and go over the brook Zered. So we went over the brook Zered.
14. And the time from our leaving Kadesh-barnea until we had come over the brook Zered was thirty-eight years, until the whole generation of the men of war had perished from the camp, as the Lord had sworn to them.
15. Moreover the hand of the Lord was against them to exterminate them from the midst of the camp, until they were all gone.
16. So when all the men of war had died from among the people,
17. The Lord spoke to me [Moses], saying,
18. You are this day to pass through Ar, the border of Moab.
19. But when you come near the territory of the sons of Ammon, do not trouble or assault them or provoke or stir them up, for I will not give you any of the land of the Ammonites for a possession, because I have given it to the sons of Lot for a possession.
