New King James Version

Deuteronomy 2:9-14 New King James Version (NKJV)

9. Then the Lord said to me, ‘Do not harass Moab, nor contend with them in battle, for I will not give you any of their land as a possession, because I have given Ar to the descendants of Lot as a possession.’ ”

10. (The Emim had dwelt there in times past, a people as great and numerous and tall as the Anakim.

11. They were also regarded as giants, like the Anakim, but the Moabites call them Emim.

12. The Horites formerly dwelt in Seir, but the descendants of Esau dispossessed them and destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their place, just as Israel did to the land of their possession which the Lord gave them.)

13. “ ‘Now rise and cross over the Valley of the Zered.’ So we crossed over the Valley of the Zered.

14. And the time we took to come from Kadesh Barnea until we crossed over the Valley of the Zered was thirty-eight years, until all the generation of the men of war was consumed from the midst of the camp, just as the Lord had sworn to them.
