1	THEN we turned, and journeyed into the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea, as the LORD spoke to me; and we circled mount Seir for many days.	“Then we turned and journeyed into the wilderness in the direction of the Red Sea, as the LORD told me. And for many days we traveled around Mount Seir.	Then we turned back and set out toward the wilderness along the route to the Red Sea, as the LORD had directed me. For a long time we made our way around the hill country of Seir.
2	And the LORD spoke to me, saying,	Then the LORD said to me,	Then the LORD said to me,
3	You have circled this mountain long enough; turn northward.	‘You have been traveling around this mountain country long enough. Turn northward	“You have made your way around this hill country long enough; now turn north.
4	And command the people, saying, You are going to pass through the territory of your brethren the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir; and they shall be afraid of you; take heed to yourselves therefore;	and command the people, “You are about to pass through the territory of your brothers, the people of Esau, who live in Seir; and they will be afraid of you. So be very careful.	Give the people these orders: ‘You are about to pass through the territory of your relatives the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir. They will be afraid of you, but be very careful.
5	Do not provoke them; for I will not give you a possession of their land, no, not so much as the breadth of a foot to tread on, because I have given mount Seir to Esau for a possession.	Do not contend with them, for I will not give you any of their land, no, not so much as for the sole of the foot to tread on, because I have given Mount Seir to Esau as a possession.	Do not provoke them to war, for I will not give you any of their land, not even enough to put your foot on. I have given Esau the hill country of Seir as his own.
6	You may buy grain from them for money, that you may eat; and you may also buy water from them for money, that you may drink.	You shall purchase food from them with money, that you may eat, and you shall also buy water from them with money, that you may drink.	You are to pay them in silver for the food you eat and the water you drink.’”
7	For the LORD your God has blessed you in all the work of your hand; he knows how to lead you through this great wilderness; behold, these forty years the LORD your God has been with you; you have lacked nothing.	For the LORD your God has blessed you in all the work of your hands. He knows your going through this great wilderness. These forty years the LORD your God has been with you. You have lacked nothing.”’	The LORD your God has blessed you in all the work of your hands. He has watched over your journey through this vast wilderness. These forty years the LORD your God has been with you, and you have not lacked anything.
8	And when we passed by from our brethren the children of Esau, who dwelt in Seir, and from the way of the desert plain, from Elath and from Ezion-gaber we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab.	So we went on, away from our brothers, the people of Esau, who live in Seir, away from the Arabah road from Elath and Ezion-geber. “And we turned and went in the direction of the wilderness of Moab.	So we went on past our relatives the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir. We turned from the Arabah road, which comes up from Elath and Ezion Geber, and traveled along the desert road of Moab.
9	And the LORD said to me, Do not distress the Moabites, neither provoke them to battle; for I will not give you of their land for a possession; because I have given it to the children of Lot for an inheritance.	And the LORD said to me, ‘Do not harass Moab or contend with them in battle, for I will not give you any of their land for a possession, because I have given Ar to the people of Lot for a possession.’	Then the LORD said to me, “Do not harass the Moabites or provoke them to war, for I will not give you any part of their land. I have given Ar to the descendants of Lot as a possession.”
10	The Amney dwelt in it formerly, a people great and many and tall, like giants;	(The Emim formerly lived there, a people great and many, and tall as the Anakim.	(The Emites used to live there—a people strong and numerous, and as tall as the Anakites.
11	For they were giants, and also were accounted as giants; but the Moabites call them Amney.	Like the Anakim they are also counted as Rephaim, but the Moabites call them Emim.	Like the Anakites, they too were considered Rephaites, but the Moabites called them Emites.
12	The Horites also dwelt formerly in Seir; but the children of Esau possessed them and destroyed them from before them and settled in their land, as Israel did to the land of his possession, which the LORD gave to them.	The Horites also lived in Seir formerly, but the people of Esau dispossessed them and destroyed them from before them and settled in their place, as Israel did to the land of their possession, which the LORD gave to them.)	Horites used to live in Seir, but the descendants of Esau drove them out. They destroyed the Horites from before them and settled in their place, just as Israel did in the land the LORD gave them as their possession.)
13	Now rise up and go over the brook Zered. So we went over the brook Zered.	‘Now rise up and go over the brook Zered.’ So we went over the brook Zered.	And the LORD said, “Now get up and cross the Zered Valley.” So we crossed the valley.
14	And the time in which we journeyed from Rakim-gia until we crossed the brook Zered was thirty-eight years; until all the generation of the men of war had perished from the midst of the camp, as the LORD had sworn to them.	And the time from our leaving Kadesh-barnea until we crossed the brook Zered was thirty-eight years, until the entire generation, that is, the men of war, had perished from the camp, as the LORD had sworn to them.	Thirty-eight years passed from the time we left Kadesh Barnea until we crossed the Zered Valley. By then, that entire generation of fighting men had perished from the camp, as the LORD had sworn to them.
15	For indeed the hand of the LORD was also against them, to destroy them from the midst of the camp until they were consumed.	For indeed the hand of the LORD was against them, to destroy them from the camp, until they had perished.	The LORD’s hand was against them until he had completely eliminated them from the camp.
16	So it came to pass, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,	“So as soon as all the men of war had perished and were dead from among the people,	Now when the last of these fighting men among the people had died,
17	The LORD spoke to me, saying,	the LORD said to me,	the LORD said to me,
18	You are to pass over through the border of Moab and Ad this day;	‘Today you are to cross the border of Moab at Ar.	“Today you are to pass by the region of Moab at Ar.
19	And when you come near the territory of the children of Ammon, do not oppress them nor provoke them; for I will not give you of the land of the children of Ammon any possession, because I have given it to the children of Lot for a possession.	And when you approach the territory of the people of Ammon, do not harass them or contend with them, for I will not give you any of the land of the people of Ammon as a possession, because I have given it to the sons of Lot for a possession.’	When you come to the Ammonites, do not harass them or provoke them to war, for I will not give you possession of any land belonging to the Ammonites. I have given it as a possession to the descendants of Lot.”
20	(That also was accounted a land of giants; giants dwelt in it formerly; and the Ammonites call them Zamzumins;	(It is also counted as a land of Rephaim. Rephaim formerly lived there—but the Ammonites call them Zamzummim—	(That too was considered a land of the Rephaites, who used to live there; but the Ammonites called them Zamzummites.
21	A people great and many and tall, like giants; but the LORD destroyed them from before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their land,	a people great and many, and tall as the Anakim; but the LORD destroyed them before the Ammonites, and they dispossessed them and settled in their place,	They were a people strong and numerous, and as tall as the Anakites. The LORD destroyed them from before the Ammonites, who drove them out and settled in their place.
22	As the children of Esau did, who dwelt in Seir when they destroyed the Horites from before them, and they succeeded them and settled in their land even to this day;	as he did for the people of Esau, who live in Seir, when he destroyed the Horites before them and they dispossessed them and settled in their place even to this day.	The LORD had done the same for the descendants of Esau, who lived in Seir, when he destroyed the Horites from before them. They drove them out and have lived in their place to this day.
23	And the Avites who dwelt in Hazerim, as far as Azzah, the Caphedokian, who came out of Caphedoki, destroyed them and dwelt in their land.)	As for the Avvim, who lived in villages as far as Gaza, the Caphtorim, who came from Caphtor, destroyed them and settled in their place.)	And as for the Avvites who lived in villages as far as Gaza, the Caphtorites coming out from Caphtor destroyed them and settled in their place.)
24	Rise up, take your journey, and cross over the river Arnon; behold, I have delivered into your hand Sihon the king of Heshbon, the Amorite, and his land; begin to destroy him, and provoke him to battle.	‘Rise up, set out on your journey and go over the Valley of the Arnon. Behold, I have given into your hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land. Begin to take possession, and contend with him in battle.	“Set out now and cross the Arnon Gorge. See, I have given into your hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his country. Begin to take possession of it and engage him in battle.
25	This day I will begin to put the dread of you and the fear of you upon the peoples that are under the whole heaven, who shall hear report of you, and shall tremble and be in anguish because of you.	This day I will begin to put the dread and fear of you on the peoples who are under the whole heaven, who shall hear the report of you and shall tremble and be in anguish because of you.’	This very day I will begin to put the terror and fear of you on all the nations under heaven. They will hear reports of you and will tremble and be in anguish because of you.”
26	And I sent messengers from the wilderness of Kermoth to Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,	“So I sent messengers from the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon the king of Heshbon, with words of peace, saying,	From the Desert of Kedemoth I sent messengers to Sihon king of Heshbon offering peace and saying,
27	Let me pass through your land; I will go along by the highway; I will neither turn to the right hand nor to the left.	‘Let me pass through your land. I will go only by the road; I will turn aside neither to the right nor to the left.	“Let us pass through your country. We will stay on the main road; we will not turn aside to the right or to the left.
28	You shall sell me grain for money, that I may eat; and sell me water for money, that I may drink; only let me pass through on foot;	You shall sell me food for money, that I may eat, and give me water for money, that I may drink. Only let me pass through on foot,	Sell us food to eat and water to drink for their price in silver. Only let us pass through on foot—
29	Just as the children of Esau who dwell in Seir and the Moabites who dwell in Ad did for me; until I shall cross the Jordan into the land which the LORD our God gives us.	as the sons of Esau who live in Seir and the Moabites who live in Ar did for me, until I go over the Jordan into the land that the LORD our God is giving to us.’	as the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir, and the Moabites, who live in Ar, did for us—until we cross the Jordan into the land the LORD our God is giving us.”
30	But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass through his territory; for the LORD your God hardened his spirit and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into your hands, as it is this day.	But Sihon the king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him, for the LORD your God hardened his spirit and made his heart obstinate, that he might give him into your hand, as he is this day.	But Sihon king of Heshbon refused to let us pass through. For the LORD your God had made his spirit stubborn and his heart obstinate in order to give him into your hands, as he has now done.
31	And the LORD said to me, Behold, I have begun to deliver Sihon and his land into your hands; begin to destroy him, and to possess his land.	And the LORD said to me, ‘Behold, I have begun to give Sihon and his land over to you. Begin to take possession, that you may occupy his land.’	The LORD said to me, “See, I have begun to deliver Sihon and his country over to you. Now begin to conquer and possess his land.”
32	Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to fight at Jahaz.	Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Jahaz.	When Sihon and all his army came out to meet us in battle at Jahaz,
33	And the LORD our God delivered him to us; and we smote him and his sons and all his people.	And the LORD our God gave him over to us, and we defeated him and his sons and all his people.	the LORD our God delivered him over to us and we struck him down, together with his sons and his whole army.
34	And we conquered all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed all the towns; even the women and the little ones, we left none to remain;	And we captured all his cities at that time and devoted to destruction every city, men, women, and children. We left no survivors.	At that time we took all his towns and completely destroyed them—men, women and children. We left no survivors.
35	Only the cattle we took for a prey to ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we conquered.	Only the livestock we took as spoil for ourselves, with the plunder of the cities that we captured.	But the livestock and the plunder from the towns we had captured we carried off for ourselves.
36	From Adoer, which is by the brink of the river Arnon, and from the city that is in the valley, as far as Gilead, there was not one city too strong for us; the LORD our God delivered all to us;	From Aroer, which is on the edge of the Valley of the Arnon, and from the city that is in the valley, as far as Gilead, there was not a city too high for us. The LORD our God gave all into our hands.	From Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Gorge, and from the town in the gorge, even as far as Gilead, not one town was too strong for us. The LORD our God gave us all of them.
37	Only to the land of the children of Ammon we did not draw near, nor to all that is by the river Jabbok, nor to the cities that are in the mountains, nor to whatever the LORD our God forbade us.	Only to the land of the sons of Ammon you did not draw near, that is, to all the banks of the river Jabbok and the cities of the hill country, whatever the LORD our God had forbidden us.	But in accordance with the command of the LORD our God, you did not encroach on any of the land of the Ammonites, neither the land along the course of the Jabbok nor that around the towns in the hills.
