Deuteronomy 2

1 The story is continued, that they were not to meddle with the Edomites, 9 nor with the Moabites, 17 nor with the Ammonites, 24 but Sihon the Amorite was subdued by them.

 2:1 “Then we turned 6437 and set 5265 out for the wilderness 4057b by the way 1870 to the Red 5488 3220 Sea 3220, as the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to me, and circled 5437 Mount 2022 Seir 8165 for many 7227a days 3117.

 2:2 “And the LORD 3068 spoke 559 to me, saying 559,

 2:3 ‘You have circled 5437 this 2088 mountain 2022 long 7227a enough 7227a. [Now] turn 6437 north 6828,

 2:4 and command 6680 the people 5971a, saying 559, “You will pass 5674a through the territory 1366 of your brothers 251 the sons 1121 of Esau 6215 who live 3427 in Seir 8165; and they will be afraid 3372a of you. So be very 3966 careful 8104;

 2:5 do not provoke 1624 them, for I will not give 5414 you any 4480 of their land 776, even 5704 [as little as] a footstep 4096 3709 7272 because 3588 I have given 5414 Mount 2022 Seir 8165 to Esau 6215 as a possession 3425.

 2:6 “You shall buy 7666 food 400 from them with money 3701 so that you may eat 398, and you shall also 1571 purchase 3739 water 4325 from them with money 3701 so that you may drink 8354.

 2:7 “For the LORD 3068 your God 430 has blessed 1288 you in all 3605 that you have done 3027; He has known 3045 your wanderings 1980 through this 2088 great 1419 wilderness 4057b. These 2088 forty 705 years 8141 the LORD 3068 your God 430 has been with you; you have not lacked 2637 a thing 1697.”’

 2:8 ¶ “So we passed 5674a beyond 5674a 4480 our brothers 251 the sons 1121 of Esau 6215, who live 3427 in Seir 8165, away 4480 from the Arabah 6160 road 1870, away 4480 from Elath 365a and from Ezion-geber 6100. And we turned 6437 and passed 5674a through 5674a by the way 1870 of the wilderness 4057b of Moab 4124.

 2:9 “Then the LORD 3068 said 559 to me, ‘Do not harass 6696b Moab 4124, nor 408 provoke 1624 them to war 4421, for I will not give 5414 you any 4480 of their land 776 as a possession 3425, because 3588 I have given 5414 Ar 6144 to the sons 1121 of Lot 3876 as a possession 3425.’

 2:10 (The Emim 368a lived 3427 there formerly 6440, a people 5971a as great 1419, numerous 7227a, and tall 7311 as the Anakim 6062.

 2:11 Like the Anakim 6062, they are also 637 regarded 2803 as Rephaim 7497, but the Moabites 4125 call 7121 them Emim 368a.

 2:12 The Horites 2752 formerly 6440 lived 3427 in Seir 8165, but the sons 1121 of Esau 6215 dispossessed 3423 them and destroyed 8045 them from before 6440 them and settled 3427 in their place 8478, just 3512c as Israel 3478 did 6213a to the land 776 of their possession 3425 which 834 the LORD 3068 gave 5414 to them.)

 2:13 ‘Now 6258 arise 6965 and cross 5674a over 5674a the brook 5158a Zered 2218 yourselves.’ So we crossed 5674a over 5674a the brook 5158a Zered 2218.

 2:14 “Now the time 3117 that it took 1980 for us to come 1980 from Kadesh-barnea 6947 until 5704 834 we crossed 5674a over 5674a the brook 5158a Zered 2218 was thirty-eight 7970 8083 years 8141, until 5704 all 3605 the generation 1755 of the men 376 of war 4421 perished 8552 from within 7130 the camp 4264, as the LORD 3068 had sworn 7650 to them.

 2:15 “Moreover 1571 the hand 3027 of the LORD 3068 was against them, to destroy 2000 them from within 7130 the camp 4264 until 5704 they all perished 8552.

 2:16 ¶ “So it came 1961 about when 3512c all 3605 the men 376 of war 4421 had finally 8552 perished 8552 4191 from among 7130 the people 5971a,

 2:17 that the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to me, saying 559,

 2:18 ‘Today 3117 you shall cross 5674a over 5674a Ar 6144, the border 1366 of Moab 4124.

 2:19 ‘When you come 7126 opposite 4136 the sons 1121 of Ammon 5983, do not harass 6696b them nor 408 provoke 1624 them, for I will not give 5414 you any 4480 of the land 776 of the sons 1121 of Ammon 5983 as a possession 3425, because 3588 I have given 5414 it to the sons 1121 of Lot 3876 as a possession 3425.’

 2:20 (It is also 637 regarded 2803 as the land 776 of the Rephaim 7497, [for] Rephaim 7497 formerly 6440 lived 3427 in it, but the Ammonites 5984 call 7121 them Zamzummin 2157,

 2:21 a people 5971a as great 1419, numerous 7227a, and tall 7311 as the Anakim 6062, but the LORD 3068 destroyed 8045 them before 6440 them. And they dispossessed 3423 them and settled 3427 in their place 8478,

 2:22 just 3512c as He did 6213a for the sons 1121 of Esau 6215, who live 3427 in Seir 8165, when 834 He destroyed 8045 the Horites 2752 from before 6440 them; they dispossessed 3423 them and settled 3427 in their place 8478 even 5704 to this 2088 day 3117.

 2:23 And the Avvim 5761, who lived 3427 in villages 2691b as far 5704 as Gaza 5804a, the Caphtorim 3732 who came 3318 from Caphtor 3731, destroyed 8045 them and lived 3427 in their place 8478.)

 2:24 ‘Arise 6965, set 5265 out, and pass 5674a through 5674a the valley 5158a of Arnon 769. Look 7200! I have given 5414 Sihon 5511 the Amorite 567, king 4428 of Heshbon 2809, and his land 776 into your hand 3027; begin 2490c to take 3423 possession 3423 and contend 1624 with him in battle 4421.

 2:25 ‘This 2088 day 3117 I will begin 2490c to put 5414 the dread 6343 and fear 3374 of you upon the peoples 5971a everywhere 3605 under 8478 the heavens 8064, who 834, when they hear 8085 the report 8088 of you, will tremble 7264 and be in anguish 2342a because 4480 6440 of you.’

 2:26 ¶ “So I sent 7971 messengers 4397 from the wilderness 4057b of Kedemoth 6932 to Sihon 5511 king 4428 of Heshbon 2809 with words 1697 of peace 7965, saying 559,

 2:27 ‘Let me pass 5674a through your land 776, I will travel 1980 only on the highway 1870; I will not turn 5493 aside 5493 to the right 3225 or to the left 8040.

 2:28 ‘You will sell 7666 me food 400 for money 3701 so that I may eat 398, and give 5414 me water 4325 for money 3701 so that I may drink 8354, only 7534 let me pass 5674a through 5674a on foot 7272,

 2:29 just 3512c as the sons 1121 of Esau 6215 who live 3427 in Seir 8165 and the Moabites 4125 who live 3427 in Ar 6144 did 6213a for me, until 5704 834 I cross 5674a over 5674a the Jordan 3383 into the land 776 which 834 the LORD 3068 our God 430 is giving 5414 to us.’

 2:30 “But Sihon 5511 king 4428 of Heshbon 2809 was not willing 14 for us to pass 5674a through his land; for the LORD 3068 your God 430 hardened 7185 his spirit 7307 and made 553 his heart 3824 obstinate 553, in order 4616 to deliver 5414 him into your hand 3027, as [he is] today 3117.

 2:31 “The LORD 3068 said 559 to me, ‘See 7200, I have begun 2490c to deliver 5414 Sihon 5511 and his land 776 over 6440 to you. Begin 2490c to occupy 3423, that you may possess 3423 his land 776.’

 2:32 ¶ “Then Sihon 5511 with all 3605 his people 5971a came 3318 out to meet 7122 us in battle 4421 at Jahaz 3096.

 2:33 “The LORD 3068 our God 430 delivered 5414 him over 6440 to us, and we defeated 5221 him with his sons 1121 and all 3605 his people 5971a.

 2:34 “So we captured 3920 all 3605 his cities 5892b at that time 6256 and utterly 2763a destroyed 2763a the men 4962, women 802 and children 2945 of every 3605 city 5892b. We left 7604 no 3808 survivor 8300.

 2:35 “We took 962 only 7534 the animals 929 as our booty 962 and the spoil 7998 of the cities 5892b which 834 we had captured 3920.

 2:36 “From Aroer 6177 which 834 is on the edge 8193 of the valley 5158a of Arnon 769 and [from] the city 5892b which 834 is in the valley 5158a, even to Gilead 1568, there was no 3808 city 7151 that was too 4480 high 7682 for us; the LORD 3068 our God 430 delivered 5414 all 3605 over 6440 to us.

 2:37 “Only 7534 you did not go 7126 near 7126 to the land 776 of the sons 1121 of Ammon 5983, all 3605 along 3027 the river 5158a Jabbok 2999 and the cities 5892b of the hill 2022 country 2022, and wherever 3605 834 the LORD 3068 our God 430 had commanded 6680 us.
