2

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:

(That also was accounted a land of giants: giants dwelt therein in old time; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims;

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.

Thou art to pass over through Ar, the coast of Moab, this day:

That the LORD spake unto me, saying,

So it came to pass, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,

For indeed the hand of the LORD was against them, to destroy them from among the host, until they were consumed.

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.

Now rise up, said I, and get you over the brook Zered. And we went over the brook Zered.

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.

Which also were accounted giants, as the Anakims; but the Moabites called them Emims.

The Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims;

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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:

Ye have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you northward.

And the LORD spake unto me, saying,

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.

And the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses: so they pitched by their standards, and so they set forward, every one after their families, according to the house of their fathers.

But the Levites were not numbered among the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses.

These are those which were numbered of the children of Israel by the house of their fathers: all those that were numbered of the camps throughout their hosts were six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty.

All they that were numbered in the camp of Dan were an hundred thousand and fifty and seven thousand and six hundred. They shall go hindmost with their standards.

And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were fifty and three thousand and four hundred.

Then the tribe of Naphtali: and the captain of the children of Naphtali shall be Ahira the son of Enan.

And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were forty and one thousand and five hundred.

And those that encamp by him shall be the tribe of Asher: and the captain of the children of Asher shall be Pagiel the son of Ocran.

And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were threescore and two thousand and seven hundred.
