Then we turned back and headed for the wilderness by way of the Red Sea , as the LORD ... had instructed me , and for many days we wandered around - Mount Seir.
| LXX |
At this time the LORD said to me ... ,
| LXX |
“ You have been wandering around - this hill country long enough turn to the north
| LXX |
- and command ... the people : ‘ You will pass through the territory of your brothers , the descendants of Esau , who live in Seir. They will be afraid so you must be very careful.
| LXX |
Do not provoke for I will not give any of their land , not even a footprint ... , ... because I have given - Mount Seir to Esau as (his) possession.
| LXX |
You are to pay them in silver for the food you eat and - - - the water you drink. ’”
| LXX |
Indeed , the LORD your God has blessed you in all the work of your hands. He has watched over your journey - through this vast wilderness. The LORD your God has been with you these forty years , and you have lacked nothing ....
| LXX |
So we passed by ... our brothers , the descendants of Esau , who live in Seir. We turned away from the Arabah road , which comes up from Elath vvv and Ezion-geber , and traveled along the road of the Wilderness of Moab.
| LXX |
Then the LORD said to me , “ Do not harass - the Moabites (or) provoke to war , for I will not give any of their land - , because I have given - Ar to the descendants of Lot as (their) possession. ”
| LXX |
( The Emites used to live a people great and many , as tall as the Anakites.
| LXX |
Like the Anakites , they were also ... regarded as Rephaim , though the Moabites called Emites.
| LXX |
The Horites used to live in Seir , but the descendants of Esau drove them out. They destroyed (the Horites) from before them and settled in their place , just as Israel did in the land that the LORD gave as their possession. )
| LXX |
“ Now arise and cross over - the Brook of Zered. ” So we crossed over - the Brook of Zered.
| LXX |
The time - we spent traveling from Kadesh-barnea until - we crossed over - the Brook of Zered was thirty-eight ... years , until that entire generation of fighting men had perished from the camp , as the LORD had sworn
| LXX |
Indeed , the LORD’s hand was to eliminate them from the camp , until they had all perished.
| LXX |
Now when ... all the fighting men among the people had died ,
| LXX |
| LXX |
“ Today - you are going to cross the border of Moab - at Ar.
| LXX |
But when you get close to the Ammonites ... , do not harass them ... or provoke for I will not give any of the land of the Ammonites ... -. - I have given it to the descendants of Lot as (their) possession. ”
| LXX |
( That too was regarded as the land of the Rephaim , (who) used to live ... , though the Ammonites called Zamzummites.
| LXX |
(They were) a people great and many , as tall as the Anakites. But the LORD destroyed them from before (the Ammonites) , who drove them out and settled in their place ,
| LXX |
just as He had done for the descendants of Esau who lived in Seir , when He destroyed - the Horites from before them. They drove them out and have lived in their place to this day.
| LXX |
And the Avvim , who lived in villages as far as Gaza , were destroyed by the Caphtorites , who came out of Caphtor and settled in their place. )
| LXX |
“ Arise , set out , and cross - the Arnon Valley. See , I have delivered into your hand Sihon the Amorite , - king of Heshbon , and his land. - Begin to take possession of it and engage in battle.
| LXX |
This very day I will begin to put the dread and fear of you upon all vvv the nations under heaven. - They will hear the reports of you and tremble in anguish because of you. ”
| LXX |
So from the Wilderness of Kedemoth I sent messengers with an offer of peace to Sihon king of Heshbon , saying ,
| LXX |
“ Let us pass through your land ; we will stay on the main road ... .... We will not turn to the right or to the left.
| LXX |
You can sell us food - to eat (and) water to drink in exchange for silver. Only let us pass through on foot ,
| LXX |
just as the descendants of Esau who live in Seir and the Moabites who live in Ar did for us until - we cross - the Jordan into the land that the LORD our God is giving
| LXX |
But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass for the LORD your God - had made his spirit stubborn and his heart obstinate , - that He might deliver him into your hand , as is the case this day.
| LXX |
Then the LORD said to me , “ See , I have begun to deliver Sihon - and his land over to you. Now begin to conquer and possess - his land. ”
| LXX |
So Sihon - and his whole army came out for battle against us at Jahaz.
| LXX |
And the LORD our God delivered him over to us , and we defeated him - - and his sons - and his whole army.
| LXX |
At that time we captured - all his cities and devoted to destruction - the people of every city , including women and children. We left no survivors.
| LXX |
We carried off for ourselves only the livestock and the plunder from the cities - we captured.
| LXX |
From Aroer - on the rim of the Arnon Valley , along with the city - in the valley , even as far as Gilead , not one city (had walls) - too high for us. - The LORD our God gave us all of them.
| LXX |
But ... you did not go near the land of the Ammonites ... , or (the land) along the banks of the Jabbok River , or the cities of the hill country , or any place that the LORD our God had forbidden.
| LXX |
