Then
the LORD said unto me: see that thou vex not the Moabites, neither
provoke them to battle for I will not give thee of their land to
possess: because I have given Ar unto the children of loth to
possess. The Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great,
many and tall, as the Enakims: which also were taken for giants as
the Enakims: And the Moabites called them Emims. In like manner
the Horims dwelt in Seir before time which the children of Esau
cast out, and destroyed them before them and dwelt there in their
stead: as Israel did in the land of his possession which the LORD
gave them. Now rise up (said I) and get you over the river Zared:
and we went over the river Zared. The space in which we came from
Cades barne until we were come over the river Zared was thirty
eight years: until all the generation of the men of war were
wasted out of the host as the LORD sware unto them. For indeed the
hand of the LORD was against them, to destroy them out of the
host, till they were consumed. And as soon as all the men of war
were consumed and dead from among the people, then the LORD spake
unto me saying: Thou shalt go thorow Ar the coast of Moab this
day, and shalt come nye unto the children of Ammon: see that thou
vex them not, nor yet provoke them.
