Deuteronomy 2:8-10

Christian Standard Bible

Journey past Moab

⁸ “So we bypassed our brothers, the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir. We turned away from the Arabah road and from Elath and Ezion-geber.^(A) We traveled along the road to the Wilderness of Moab. ⁹ The Lord said to me, ‘Show no hostility toward Moab, and do not provoke them to battle, for I will not give you any of their land as a possession, since I have given Ar as a possession to the descendants of Lot.’”^(B)

¹⁰ The Emim, a great and numerous people as tall as the Anakim,^(C) had previously lived there.
