11. which also were accounted giants as the Anakims; but the Moabites call them Emims.
12. The Horims also dwelt in Seir before time, but the sons of Esau inherited from them, and they destroyed them from before them and dwelt in their stead as Israel did in the land of his possession, which the Lord gave unto them.)
13. Now rise up, said I, and pass the brook Zered. And we went over the brook Zered.
14. And the days in which we came from Kadeshbarnea until we were come over the brook Zered, was thirty-eight years until all the generation of the men of war were wasted out from among the camp, as the Lord swore unto them.
15. For indeed the hand of the Lord was against them, to destroy them from among the camp until they were consumed.
16. So it came to pass, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people
17. that the Lord spoke unto me, saying,
18. Thou art to pass the border of Moab today unto Ar,
19. and when thou comest near over against the sons of Ammon, do not distress them nor meddle with them, for I will not give thee of the land of the sons of Ammon any possession because I have given it unto the sons of Lot for an inheritance.
20. (That also was accounted a land of giants; giants dwelt therein in another time, and the Ammonites called them Zamzummims,
21. a people great and many and tall as the Anakims; whom the Lord destroyed before the Ammonites; and they inherited from them and dwelt in their stead,
22. as he did to the sons of Esau who dwelt in Seir when he destroyed the Horims from before them; and they inherited from them and dwelt in their stead even unto this day.
23. And the Avims who dwelt in Hazerim, even unto Gaza, the Caphtorims, who came forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them and dwelt in their stead.)
24. Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass the river Arnon; behold, I have given into thine hand Sihon, the Amorite king of Heshbon, and his land; begin, take possession and contend with him in battle.
25. This day I will begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the peoples that are under the whole heaven, who shall hear the report of thee, and shall tremble and be in anguish because of thee.
26. And I sent ambassadors out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sihon, king of Heshbon, with words of peace, saying,
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.
28. Thou shalt sell me food for money, that I may eat, and give me water for money, that I may drink; I will only pass through on my feet
29. (as the sons of Esau, who dwell in Seir, and the Moabites, who dwell in Ar, did unto me) until I shall pass the Jordan into the land which the Lord our God gives us.
