15 The Lord kept on opposing them until he had destroyed them all.
16 “After they had all died,
17 the Lord said to us,
18 ‘Today you are to pass through the territory of Moab by way of Ar.
19 You will then be near the land of the Ammonites, the descendants of Lot. Don't trouble them or start a war against them, because I am not going to give you any of the land that I have given them.’ ”
20 (This territory is also known as the land of the Rephaim, the name of the people who used to live there; the Ammonites called them Zamzummim.
21 They were as tall as the Anakim. There were many of them, and they were a mighty race. But the Lord destroyed them, so that the Ammonites took over their land and settled there.
