Deuteronomy 2

CHAPTER 2 Inheritance of the Land

1 And turning we departed into the wilderness by way [²sea ¹of the red], in which manner the lord spoke to me. And we encircled mount Seir [²days ¹many]. 2 And the lord said to me, 3 [⁴is enough ¹Your ²encircling ³this mountain]; turn then towards the north!

Mount Seir Given to Esau

4 And [²to the ³people ¹you give charge], saying, You go through the borders of your brethren, the sons of Esau, the ones dwelling in Seir! And they shall fear you, and shall be [²cautious ³of you ¹exceedingly]. 5 You shall not join against them for war, for not in any way will I give to you of their land, nor a stool for your foot; for by lot I have given to Esau mount Seir. 6 With silver [²foods ¹buy] from them and eat, and [³water ²measured out ¹you shall receive] from them by silver, and you shall drink. 7 For the lord your God blessed you in every work of your hands. Determine how you went through [⁵wilderness ²great ³and ⁴dreadful ¹that]! Behold, forty years the lord your God was with you; you did not want of a thing. 8 And we went by our brethren the sons of Esau, the ones dwelling in Seir, by the way of the wilderness from Aelon, and from Ezion Gaber; and turning we went by the way of the wilderness of Moab.

Moab Becomes Lot's Inheritance

9 And the lord said to me, Do not hate the Moabites, and do not join together against them in war! for in no way will I give to you of their land. [⁴by ⁵lot ¹For ⁶to the sons ⁷of Lot ²I have given ³Aroer] to inherit. 10 The Emim prior laid in wait upon it, [⁴nation ¹a great ²and ³populous], and strong, as the Anakim. 11 [⁴of the Raphaim ³shall be considered ¹And ²these] as also the Anakim; and the Moabites named them Emim. 12 And in Seir [³laid in wait ¹the ²Horite] the former one; and the sons of Esau destroyed them, and obliterated them from their face; and they settled in place of them in which manner Israel did to the land of his inheritance, which the lord gave to them. 13 Now then, I said, Rise up, and depart, and come near the ravine of Zared! And we went by the ravine of Zared. 14 And the days which we passed from Kadesh Barnea until of which time we went by the ravine of Zared was thirty eight years, until of which time [⁶perished ¹all ²the ³generation ⁴of men ⁵of war], dying from the camp, as [³swore by an oath ¹the lord ²God] to them. 15 And the hand of God was upon them, to completely consume them from out of the midst of the camp, until they perished. 16 And it came to pass, as soon as [⁴fell ¹all ²the ones ³dying], men warriors, from out of the midst of the people, 17 that the lord spoke to me, saying, 18 You shall pass over today the borders of Moab -- the Aroer. 19 And you shall lead near the sons of Ammon. Do not hate them, nor join against them in war! for I will not give from the land of the sons of Ammon to you by lot, for to the sons of Lot I have given it by lot.

Anakim and Raphaim

20 [²land ³of Raphaim ¹It shall be considered], for even upon it [⁴dwelt ¹the ²Raphaim ³formerly]. And the Ammonites named them Zummim, 21 [⁴nation ¹a great ²and ³populous], and mightier than you, as also the Anakim; and [²destroyed ³them ¹the lord] before their face, and they inherited them; and they were settled there in place of them until this day, 22 even as they did inherit the sons of Esau, the ones dwelling in Seir, in which manner he obliterated the Horite from their face; and they inherited them, and they were settled in place of them until this day. 23 And the Hivites dwelling in Aseroth unto Gaza, and the Cappadocians coming forth from out of Cappadocia, obliterated them, and were settled in place of them. 24 Now then, rise up and depart and go by the ravine of Arnon! Behold, I have delivered up into your hands Sihon king of Heshbon the Amorite and his land. Commence to inherit it! Join against him in war! 25 On this day commence to give the trembling of you and the fear of you upon the face of all the nations of the ones underneath the heaven! Whoever hearing your name shall be disturbed, and [²pangs of anguish ¹shall have] before your face. 26 And I sent ambassadors from the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon king of Heshbon [²words ¹with peaceable], saying, 27 I will go through your land; in the journey I will go -- I will not turn aside right nor left. 28 [³foods ⁴for silver ¹You shall give ²to me], and I shall eat; and [²water ⁴for silver ¹you shall give ³to me], and I shall drink; only that I shall go by on the feet, 29 as [⁷did ⁸to me ¹the ²sons ³of Esau ⁴dwelling ⁵in ⁶Seir], and the Moabites, the ones dwelling in Ar, until whenever I should go by the Jordan into the land which the lord our God gives us. 30 And [⁴did not ⁵want ¹Sihon ²king ³of Heshbon] us to go by through his land, for [³hardened ¹the lord ²our God] his spirit, and strengthened his heart, that he should be delivered up into your hands, as in this day. 31 And the lord said to me, Behold, I have begun to deliver up before your face Sihon king of Heshbon the Amorite, and his land. Commence to inherit his land! 32 And came forth Sihon king of Heshbon to meet us, he and all his people, for war at Jahaz. 33 And [³delivered ⁴him ¹the lord ²our God] before our face, into our hands; and we struck him, and his sons, and all his people. 34 And we held all his cities in that time. And we utterly destroyed every city; next also their women, and their children we did not leave behind for taking alive. 35 Except the cattle we despoiled for ourselves. And the spoils from the cities we took, 36 from Aroer, which is by the bank of the rushing stream Arnon, and the city being in the ravine, and unto mount Gilead. There was not a city which evaded us; [³delivered up all ¹the lord ²our God] into our hands. 37 Except in the land of the sons of Ammon we did not draw near, all the parts falling in with the stream Jabbok, and the cities, the ones in the mountainous area, in so far as [³gave charge ⁴to us ¹the lord ²our God].
