2:1
profectique inde venimus in solitudinem quae ducit ad mareRubrum sicut mihi dixerat Dominus et circumivimus montem Seirlongo tempore

2:2
dixitque Dominus ad me

2:3
sufficit vobis circumire montem istum ite contra aquilonem

2:4
et populo praecipe dicens transibitis per terminos fratrumvestrorum filiorum Esau qui habitant in Seir et timebunt vos

2:5
videte ergo diligenter ne moveamini contra eos neque enimdabo vobis de terra eorum quantum potest unius pedis calcarevestigium quia in possessionem Esau dedi montem Seir

2:6
cibos emetis ab eis pecunia et comedetis aquam emptamhaurietis et bibetis

2:7
Dominus Deus tuus benedixit tibi in omni opere manuum tuarumnovit iter tuum quomodo transieris solitudinem hanc magnam perquadraginta annos habitans tecum Dominus Deus tuus et nihiltibi defuit

2:8
cumque transissemus fratres nostros filios Esau quihabitabant in Seir per viam campestrem de Helath et deAsiongaber venimus ad iter quod ducit in desertum Moab

2:9
dixitque Dominus ad me non pugnes contra Moabitas nec ineasadversum eos proelium non enim dabo tibi quicquam de terraeorum quia filiis Loth tradidi Ar in possessionem

2:10
Emim primi fuerunt habitatores eius populus magnus etvalidus et tam excelsus ut de Enacim stirpe

2:11
quasi gigantes crederentur et essent similes filiorumEnacim denique Moabitae appellant eos Emim

2:12
in Seir autem prius habitaverunt Horim quibus expulsisatque deletis habitaverunt filii Esau sicut fecit Israhel interra possessionis suae quam dedit ei Dominus

2:13
surgentes ergo ut transiremus torrentem Zared venimus adeum

2:14
tempus autem quo ambulavimus de Cadesbarne usque adtransitum torrentis Zared triginta octo annorum fuit donecconsumeretur omnis generatio hominum bellatorum de castrissicut iuraverat Dominus

2:15
cuius manus fuit adversum eos ut interirent de castrorummedio

2:16
postquam autem universi ceciderunt pugnatores

2:17
locutus est Dominus ad me dicens

2:18
tu transibis hodie terminos Moab urbem nomine Ar

2:19
et accedens in vicina filiorum Ammon cave ne pugnes contraeos nec movearis ad proelium non enim dabo tibi de terrafiliorum Ammon quia filiis Loth dedi eam in possessionem

2:20
terra gigantum reputata est et in ipsa olim habitaveruntgigantes quos Ammanitae vocant Zomzommim

2:21
populus magnus et multus et procerae longitudinis sicutEnacim quos delevit Dominus a facie eorum et fecit illoshabitare pro eis

2:22
sicut fecerat filiis Esau qui habitant in Seir delensHorreos et terram eorum illis tradens quam possident usque inpraesens

2:23

2:25
hodie incipiam mittere terrorem atque formidinem tuam inpopulos qui habitant sub omni caelo ut audito nomine tuopaveant et in morem parturientium contremescant et doloreteneantur

2:26
misi ergo nuntios de solitudine Cademoth ad Seon regemEsebon verbis pacificis dicens

2:27

2:29
sicut fecerunt filii Esau qui habitant in Seir et Moabitaequi morantur in Ar donec veniamus ad Iordanem et transeamus interram quam Dominus Deus noster daturus est nobis

2:30
noluitque Seon rex Esebon dare nobis transitum quiainduraverat Dominus Deus tuus spiritum eius et obfirmaverat corillius ut traderetur in manus tuas sicut nunc vides

2:31
dixitque Dominus ad me ecce coepi tradere tibi Seon etterram eius incipe possidere eam

002:001
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.

002:002
And the LORD spake unto me, saying,

002:003
Ye have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you northward.

002:004
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:

002:005
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.

002:006
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.

002:007
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.

002:008
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.

002:009
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.

002:010
The Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims;

002:011
Which also were accounted giants, as the Anakims; but the Moabites called them Emims.

002:012
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.

002:013
Now rise up, said I, and get you over the brook Zered. And we went over the brook Zered.

002:014
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.

002:015
For indeed the hand of the LORD was against them, to destroy them from among the host, until they were consumed.

002:016
So it came to pass, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,

002:017
That the LORD spake unto me, saying,

002:018
Thou art to pass over through Ar, the coast of Moab, this day:

002:019
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.

002:020
(That also was accounted a land of giants: giants dwelt therein in old time; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims;

002:021
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:

002:022
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:

002:023
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.)

002:024
Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass over the river Arnon: behold, I have given into thine hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land: begin to possess it, and contend with him in battle.

002:025
This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the nations that are under the whole heaven, who shall hear report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee.

002:026
And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,

002:027
Let me pass through thy land: I will go along by the high way, I will neither turn unto the right hand nor to the left.

002:028
Thou shalt sell me meat for money, that I may eat; and give me water for money, that I may drink: only I will pass through on my feet;

002:029
(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.

002:030
But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him: for the LORD thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into thy hand, as appeareth this day.

002:031
And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have begun to give Sihon and his land before thee: begin to possess, that thou mayest inherit his land.

002:032
Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to fight at Jahaz.

002:033
And the LORD our God delivered him before us; and we smote him, and his sons, and all his people.

002:034
And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed the men, and the women, and the little ones, of every city, we left none to remain:

002:035
Only the cattle we took for a prey unto ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we took.

002:036
From Aroer, which is by the brink of the river of Arnon, and from the city that is by the river, even unto Gilead, there was not one city too strong for us: the LORD our God delivered all unto us:

002:037
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 forbade us.
