1 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. 2 And the LORD spake unto me, say­ing, 3 Ye have com­passed this moun­tain long enough: turn you north­ward. 4 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: 5 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. 6 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. 7 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. 8 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. 9 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. 10 The Emims dwelt there­in in times past, a peo­ple great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims; 11 Which also were ac­count­ed gi­ants, as the Anakims; but the Moabites call them Emims. 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. 13 Now rise up, ­said I, and get you over the brook Zered. And we went over the brook Zered. 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. 15 For in­deed the hand of the LORD was against them, to de­stroy them from among the host, 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 spake unto me, say­ing, 18 Thou art to pass over through Ar, the coast of Moab, this day: 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. 20 (That also was ac­count­ed a land of gi­ants: gi­ants dwelt there­in in old time; and the Am­monites call them Za­mzum­mims; 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: 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: 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.) 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. 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. 26 And I sent mes­sen­gers 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 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; 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. 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. 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. 32 Then Si­hon came out against us, he and all his peo­ple, to fight at Ja­haz. 33 And the LORD our God de­liv­ered him be­fore us; and we smote him, and his sons, and all his peo­ple. 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: 35 Only the cat­tle we took for a prey unto our­selves, and the spoil of the cities which we took. 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: 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.
