40 But as for you, turn, and take your journey into the
wilderness by the way of the Sea of Reeds.
41 Then you answered and said to me, We have sinned
against vuvh, we will go up and fight, according to all that
vuvh our Elohim commanded us. And when you had
girded on every man his weapons of war, you were ready
to go up on the hill.
42 And vuvh said to me, Say to them. Go not up, neither
fight; for I am not among you; lest you be smitten before
your enemies.
43 So I spoke to you; and you would not listen, but
rebelled against the order of vuvh, and went
presumptuously up into the mountain.
44 And the Amorites, who dwelt in that mountain, came
out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and
destroyed you in Seir, even to Hormah.
45 And you returned and wept before vuvh; but vuvh
would not listen to your voice, nor give ear to you.
46 So you dwelt in Kadesh many days, according to the
days that you dwelt there.
Then we turned, and took our journey into the
wilderness by the way of the Sea of Reeds, as vuvh spoke
to me: and we circled Mount Seir many days.
2 And vuvh spoke to me, saying,
3 You have circled this mountain long enough: turn
northward.
4 And command the people, saying, You are to pass
through the coast of your brothers the children of Esav,
who dwell in Seir; and they shall be afraid of you: take
tov heed to yourselves therefore:
5 Strive not with them; for I will not give you of their
land, no, not so much as a footstep; because I have given
Mount Seir to Esav for a possession. 531
2
6 You shall buy food from them for money, that you may
eat; and you shall also buy mayim from them for money,
that you may drink.
7 For vuvh your Elohim has blessed you in all the works
of your hand: He knows your wandering through this
great wilderness. These forty years vuvh your Elohim has
been with you; you have lacked nothing.
8 And when we passed by our brothers the children of
Esav, who dwelt in Seir, through the way of the plain
from Eilat, and from Etzion-Gever, we turned and passed
by the way of the wilderness of Moav.
9 And vuvh said to me, Distress not the Moavites, neither
contend with them in battle: for I will not give you their
land as a possession; because I have given Ar to the
children of Lot as a possession.
10 The Emim dwelt there in times past, a people great,
and many, and tall, as the Anakim;
11 Which also were reckoned as Rephayim, like the
Anakim; but the Moavites called them Emim.
12 The Horites also dwelt in Seir before; but the children
of Esav succeeded them, when they had destroyed them,
and dwelt in their place; as Yisrael did to the land of their
possession, which vuvh gave to them.
13 Now rise up, I said, and go over the brook Zered. And
we went over the brook Zered.
14 And the time from which we came from Kadesh-
Barnea, until we came over the brook Zered, was thirtyeight
years; until all the generation of the men of war
were consumed from among the camp, as vuvh swore
DEVARIM - DEUTERONOMY
- 127 -
to them.
15 For indeed the hand of vuvh was against them, to
destroy them from among the camp, until they were
consumed.
16 So it came to pass, when all the men of war had
perished from among the people,
17 That vuvh spoke to me, saying,
18 You are to pass over through Ar, the coast of Moav,
this day:
19 And when you come near, opposite the children of
Ammon, distress them not, nor strive with them: for I will
not give you the land of the children of Ammon as a
possession; because I have given it to the children of Lot
for a possession.
20 (That also was accounted a land of Rephayim:
Rephayim dwelt there in old times; and the Ammonites
call them Zamzummims;
21 A people great, and many, and as tall, as the Anakim;
but vuvh destroyed them before them; and they succeeded
them, and dwelt in their place:
22 As He did to the children of Esav, who dwelt in Seir,
when He destroyed the Horites from before them; and
they succeeded them, and dwelt in their place even to this
day:
23 And the Avim who dwelt in Hatzerim, even to Azzah,
the Kaphtorim, who came forth out of Kaphtor, destroyed
them, and dwelt in their place).
24 Rise up, take your journey, and pass over the river
Arnon: see, I have given into your hand Sichon the
Amorite, melech of Cheshbon, and his land: begin to
possess it, and contend with him in battle.
25 This day will I begin to put the dread of you and the
fear of you upon the nations that are under the whole
shamayim, who shall hear reports of you, and shall
tremble, and be in anguish because of you. 532
26 And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of
Kedemoth to Sichon melech of Cheshbon with words of
shalom, saying,
27 Let me pass through your land: I will go along by the
highway; I will neither turn to the right hand nor to the
left.
28 You shall sell me meat for money that I may eat; and
give me mayim for money, that I may drink: only I will
pass through on my feet;
29 As the children of Esav who dwell in Seir, and the
Moavites who dwell in Ar, did for me; until I shall pass
over Yarden into the land that vuvh our Elohim gives us.
30 But Sichon melech of Cheshbon would not let us pass
by him: for vuvh your Elohim hardened his ruach, and
made his lev obstinate, that He might deliver him into
your hand, as can be seen this day.
31 And vuvh said to me, See, I have begun to give Sichon
and his land to you: begin to possess, that you may inherit
his land.
32 Then Sichon came out against us, he and all his
people, to fight at Yahaz.
33 And vuvh our Elohim delivered him before us; and we
smote him, and his sons, and all his people.
34 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:
35 Only the cattle we took for a prey to ourselves, and the
spoil of the cities, that we took.
