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.
Deut.2.8
So we detoured around our brothers, the People of Esau who live in Seir, avoiding the Arabah Road that comes up from Elath and Ezion Geber; instead we used the road through the Wilderness of Moab.

Deut.2.9
GOD told me, "And don't try to pick a fight with the Moabites. I am not giving you any of their land. I've given ownership of Ar to the People of Lot."

Deut.2.10
The Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims;
Deut.2.10
The Emites (Monsters) used to live there--mobs of hulking giants, like Anakites.
Deut.2.10
(The Emites used to live there-a people strong and numerous, and as tall as the Anakites.
Deut.2.10
(The Emim had dwelt there in times past, a people as great and numerous and tall as the Anakim.
Deut.2.10
(A numerous and powerful race of giants called the Emites had once lived in the area of Ar. They were as tall as the Anakites, another race of giants.
Deut.2.11
Which also were accounted giants, as the Anakims; but the Moabites call them Emims.
Deut.2.11
Along with the Anakites they were lumped in with the Rephaites (Ghosts) but in Moab they were called Emites.
Deut.2.11
Like the Anakites, they too were considered Rephaites, but the Moabites called them Emites.
Deut.2.11
They were also regarded as giants, like the Anakim, but the Moabites call them Emim.
Deut.2.11

Deut.2.12
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.
Deut.2.12
Horites also used to live in Seir, but the descendants of Esau took over and destroyed them, the same as Israel did in the land GOD gave them to possess.
Deut.2.12
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.)

Deut.2.13
Now rise up, said I, and get you over the brook Zered. And we went over the brook Zered.
Deut.2.13

Deut.2.13
And the LORD said, "Now get up and cross the Zered Valley." So we crossed the valley.
Deut.2.13
""Now rise and cross over the Valley of the Zered.' So we crossed over the Valley of the Zered.
Deut.2.13
Moses continued, "Then the LORD told us to cross Zered Brook, and we did.
Deut.2.14
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.
Deut.2.14
It took us thirty-eight years to get from Kadesh Barnea to the Brook Zered. That's how long it took for the entire generation of soldiers from the camp to die off, as GOD had sworn they would.
Deut.2.14
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.
Deut.2.14
And the time we took to come from Kadesh Barnea until we crossed over the Valley of the Zered was thirty-eight years, until all the generation of the men of war was consumed from the midst of the camp, just as the LORD had sworn to them.
Deut.2.14
So thirty-eight years passed from the time we first arrived at Kadesh-barnea until we finally crossed Zered Brook! For the LORD had vowed that this could not happen until all the men old enough to fight in battle had died in the wilderness.
Deut.2.15
For indeed the hand of the LORD was against them, to destroy them from among the host, until they were consumed.
Deut.2.15
GOD was relentless against them until the last one was gone from the camp.
Deut.2.15
The LORD's hand was against them until he had completely eliminated them from the camp.
Deut.2.15
For indeed the hand of the LORD was against them, to destroy them from the midst of the camp until they were consumed.
Deut.2.15
The LORD had lifted his hand against them until all of them had finally died.
Deut.2.16
So it came to pass, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,
Deut.2.16
When the last of these soldiers had died,
Deut.2.16
Now when the last of these fighting men among the people had died,
Deut.2.16
"So it was, when all the men of war had finally perished from among the people,
Deut.2.16
"When all the men of fighting age had died,
Deut.2.17
That the LORD spake unto me, saying,
Deut.2.17
GOD said to me,
Deut.2.17
the LORD said to me,
Deut.2.17
that the LORD spoke to me, saying:
Deut.2.17
the LORD said to me,
Deut.2.18
Thou art to pass over through Ar, the coast of Moab, this day:

Deut.2.18
"Today you are to pass by the region of Moab at Ar.
Deut.2.18
"This day you are to cross over at Ar, the boundary of Moab.
Deut.2.18
`Today you will cross the border of Moab at Ar
Deut.2.19
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.
Deut.2.19
When you approach the People of Ammon, don't try and pick a fight with them because I'm not giving you any of the land of the People of Ammon for yourselves--I've already given it to the People of Lot."
Deut.2.19
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."
Deut.2.19
And when you come near the people of Ammon, do not harass them or meddle 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 descendants of Lot as a possession."'
Deut.2.19
and enter the land of Ammon. But do not bother the Ammonites, the descendants of Lot, or start a war with them. I have given the land of Ammon to them as their property, and I will not give you any of their land.'"
Deut.2.20
(That also was accounted a land of giants: giants dwelt therein in old time; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims;
Deut.2.20
It is also considered to have once been the land of the Rephaites. Rephaites lived there long ago--the Ammonites called them Zamzummites (Barbarians)
Deut.2.20
(That too was considered a land of the Rephaites, who used to live there; but the Ammonites called them Zamzummites.
Deut.2.20
(That was also regarded as a land of giants; giants formerly dwelt there. But the Ammonites call them Zamzummim,
Deut.2.20
(That area, too, was once considered the land of the Rephaites, though the Ammonites referred to them as Zamzummites.
Deut.2.21
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:
Deut.2.21
-huge mobs of them, giants like the Anakites. GOD destroyed them and the Ammonites moved in and took over.
Deut.2.21
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.
Deut.2.21
a people as great and numerous and tall as the Anakim. But the LORD destroyed them before them, and they dispossessed them and dwelt in their place,
Deut.2.21
They were a numerous and powerful race, as tall as the Anakites. But the LORD destroyed them so the Ammonites could occupy their land.
Deut.2.22
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:
Deut.2.22
It was the same with the People of Esau who live in Seir--GOD got rid of the Horites who lived there earlier and they moved in and took over, as you can see.
Deut.2.22
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.
Deut.2.22
just as He had done for the descendants of Esau, who dwelt in Seir, when He destroyed the Horites from before them. They dispossessed them and dwelt in their place, even to this day.
Deut.2.22
He had similarly helped the descendants of Esau at Mount Seir, for he destroyed the Horites so they could settle there in their place. The descendants of Esau live there to this day.
Deut.2.23
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.)
Deut.2.23
Regarding the Avvites who lived in villages as far as Gaza, the Caphtorites who came from Caphtor (Crete) wiped them out and moved in. [JC]
Deut.2.23
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.)
Deut.2.23

Deut.2.29
(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.
Deut.2.29
"The People of Esau who live in Seir and the Moabites who live in Ar did this, helping me on my way until I can cross the Jordan and enter the land that GOD, our God, is giving 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."

Deut.2.37
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.
Deut.2.37
The only land you didn't take, obeying GOD's command, was the land of the People of Ammon, the land along the Jabbok and around the cities in the hills. [JC]
Deut.2.37
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.
Deut.2.37
Only you did not go near the land of the people of Ammon--anywhere along the River Jabbok, or to the cities of the mountains, or wherever the LORD our God had forbidden us.
Deut.2.37
However, we stayed away from the Ammonites along the Jabbok River and the towns in the hill country--all the places the LORD our God had commanded us to leave alone.
