8 And when we passed by our brethren, the sons of Esau, who 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.
9 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 sons of Lot for an inheritance.
10 (The Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and many and tall as the Anakims,
11 which also were accounted giants as the Anakims; but the Moabites call them Emims.
12 The Horims also dwelt in Seir before time, but the sons of Esau inherited from them, and they destroyed them from before them and dwelt in their stead as Israel did in the land of his possession, which the Lord gave unto them.)
13 Now rise up, said I, and pass the brook Zered. And we went over the brook Zered.
14 And the days in which we came from Kadeshbarnea until we were come over the brook Zered, was thirty-eight years until all the generation of the men of war were wasted out from among the camp, as the Lord swore unto them.
