Deuteronomy 2 (WEBP)

[1] Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea, as Yahweh spoke to me; and we encircled Mount Seir many days.
[2] Yahweh spoke to me, saying,
[3] “You have encircled this mountain long enough. Turn northward.
[4] Command the people, saying, ‘You are to pass through the border of your brothers, the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir; and they will be afraid of you. Therefore be careful.
[5] Don’t contend with them; for I will not give you any of their land, no, not so much as for the sole of the foot to tread on, because I have given Mount Seir to Esau for a possession.
[6] You shall purchase food from them for money, that you may eat. You shall also buy water from them for money, that you may drink.’”
[7] For Yahweh your God has blessed you in all the work of your hands. He has known your walking through this great wilderness. These forty years, Yahweh your God has been with you. You have lacked nothing.
[8] So we passed by from our brothers, the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir, from the way of the Arabah from Elath and from Ezion Geber. We turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab.
[9] Yahweh said to me, “Don’t bother Moab, neither contend with them in battle; for I will not give you any of his land for a possession, because I have given Ar to the children of Lot for a possession.”
[10] (The Emim lived there before, a great and numerous people, and tall as the Anakim.
[11] These also are considered to be Rephaim, as the Anakim; but the Moabites call them Emim.
[12] The Horites also lived in Seir in the past, but the children of Esau succeeded them. They destroyed them from before them, and lived in their place, as Israel did to the land of his possession, which Yahweh gave to them.)
[13] “Now rise up and cross over the brook Zered.” We went over the brook Zered.
[14] The days in which we came from Kadesh Barnea until we had come over the brook Zered were thirty-eight years, until all the generation of the men of war were consumed from the middle of the camp, as Yahweh swore to them.
[15] Moreover Yahweh’s hand was against them, to destroy them from the middle of the camp, until they were consumed.
[16] So, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,
[17] Yahweh spoke to me, saying,
[18] “You are to pass over Ar, the border of Moab, today.
[19] When you come near the border of the children of Ammon, don’t bother them, nor contend with them; for I will not give you any of the land of the children of Ammon for a possession, because I have given it to the children of Lot for a possession.”
[20] (That also is considered a land of Rephaim. Rephaim lived there in the past, but the Ammonites call them Zamzummim,
[21] a great people, many, and tall, as the Anakim; but Yahweh destroyed them from before Israel, and they succeeded them, and lived in their place,
[22] as he did for the children of Esau who dwell in Seir, when he destroyed the Horites from before them; and they succeeded them, and lived in their place even to this day.
[23] Then the Avvim, who lived in villages as far as Gaza: the Caphtorim, who came out of Caphtor, destroyed them and lived in their place.)
[24] “Rise up, take your journey, and pass over the valley of the Arnon. Behold, I have given into your hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land; begin to possess it, and contend with him in battle.
[25] Today I will begin to put the dread of you and the fear of you on the peoples who are under the whole sky, who shall hear the report of you, and shall tremble and be in anguish because of you.”
[26] I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,
[27] “Let me pass through your land. I will go along by the highway. I will turn neither to the right hand nor to the left.
[28] You shall sell me food for money, that I may eat; and give me water for money, that I may drink. Just let me pass through on my feet,
[29] as the children of Esau who dwell in Seir, and the Moabites who dwell in Ar, did to me, until I pass over the Jordan into the land which Yahweh our God gives us.”
[30] But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him, for Yahweh your God hardened his spirit and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into your hand, as it is today.
[31] Yahweh said to me, “Behold, I have begun to deliver up Sihon and his land before you. Begin to possess, that you may inherit his land.”
[32] Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Jahaz.
[33] Yahweh our God delivered him up before us; and we struck him, his sons, and all his people.
[34] We took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed every inhabited city, with the women and the little ones. We left no one remaining.
[35] Only the livestock we took for plunder for ourselves, with the plunder of the cities which we had taken.
[36] From Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and the city that is in the valley, even to Gilead, there was not a city too high for us. Yahweh our God delivered up all before us.
[37] Only to the land of the children of Ammon you didn’t come near: all the banks of the river Jabbok, and the cities of the hill country, and wherever Yahweh our God forbade us.

Deuteronomy 2 (KJVS)

[1] Then we turned, () and took our journey () into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea, as the Lord spake () unto me: and we compassed () mount Seir many days.
[2] And the Lord spake () unto me, saying, ()
[3] Ye have compassed () this mountain long enough: turn () you northward.
[4] And command () thou the people, saying, () Ye are to pass () through the coast of your brethren the children of Esau, which dwell () in Seir; and they shall be afraid () of you: take ye good heed () unto yourselves therefore:
[5] meddle () not with them; for I will not give () you of their land, no, not so much as a foot breadth; because I have given () mount Seir unto Esau for a possession.
[6] Ye shall buy () meat of them for money, that ye may eat; () and ye shall also buy () water of them for money, that ye may drink. ()
[7] For the Lord thy God hath blessed () thee in all the works of thy hand: he knoweth () thy walking () through this great wilderness: these forty years the Lord thy God hath been with thee; thou hast lacked () nothing.
[8] And when we passed () by from our brethren the children of Esau, which dwelt () in Seir, through the way of the plain from Elath, and from Ezion-gaber, 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 children of Lot for a possession.
[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 beforetime; but the children of Esau succeeded () them, when they had destroyed () them from before them, and dwelt () in their stead; as Israel did () unto the land of his possession, which the Lord gave () unto them.
[13] Now rise up, () said I, and get you over () the brook Zered. And we went over () the brook Zered.
[14] And the space in which we came () from Kadesh-barnea, until we were come over () the brook Zered, was thirty and eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were wasted out () from among the host, as the Lord sware () unto them.
[15] For indeed the hand of the Lord was against them, to destroy () them from among the host, until they were consumed. ()
[16] So it came to pass, when all the men of war were consumed () and dead () from among the people,
[17] that the Lord spake () unto me, saying, ()
[18] Thou art to pass over () through Ar, the coast of Moab, this day:
[19] and when thou comest nigh () over against the children of Ammon, distress () them not, nor meddle () with them: for I will not give () thee of the land of the children of Ammon any possession; because I have given () it unto the children of Lot for a possession.
[20] (That also was accounted () a land of giants: giants dwelt () therein in old time; and the Ammonites call () them Zamzummims;
[21] a people great, and many, and tall, () as the Anakims; but the Lord destroyed () them before them; and they succeeded () them, and dwelt () in their stead:
[22] as he did () to the children of Esau, which dwelt () in Seir, when he destroyed () the Horims from before them; and they succeeded () them, and dwelt () in their stead even unto this day:
[23] and the Avims which dwelt () in Hazerim, even unto Azzah, the Caphtorims, which came forth () out of Caphtor, destroyed () them, and dwelt () in their stead.)
[24] Rise ye up, () take your journey, () and pass over () the river Arnon: behold, () I have given () into thine hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land: begin () to possess () it, and contend () with him in battle.
[25] This day will I begin () to put () the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the nations that are under the whole heaven, who shall hear () report of thee, and shall tremble, () and be in anguish () because of thee.
[26] And I sent () messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying, ()
[27] Let me pass () through thy land: I will go () along by the high way, I will neither turn () unto the right hand nor to the left.
[28] Thou shalt sell () me meat for money, that I may eat; () and give () me water for money, that I may drink: () only I will pass through () on my feet;
[29] (as the children of Esau which dwell () in Seir, and the Moabites which dwell () in Ar, did () unto me;) until I shall pass over () Jordan into the land which the Lord our God giveth () us.
[30] But Sihon king of Heshbon would () not let us pass () by him: for the Lord thy God hardened () his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, () that he might deliver () him into thy hand, as appeareth this day.
[31] And the Lord said () unto me, Behold, () I have begun () to give () Sihon and his land before thee: begin () to possess, () that thou mayest inherit () his land.
[32] Then Sihon came out () against () us, he and all his people, to fight at Jahaz.
[33] And the Lord our God 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 () unto ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we took. ()
[36] From Aroer, which is by the brink of the river of Arnon, and from the city that is by the river, even unto Gilead, there was not one city too strong () for us: the Lord our God delivered () all unto us:
[37] only unto the land of the children of Ammon thou camest () not, nor unto any place of the river Jabbok, nor unto the cities in the mountains, nor unto whatsoever the Lord our God forbad () us.

[1] και επιστραφεντες απηραμεν εις την ερημον οδον θαλασσαν ερυθραν ον τροπον ελαλησεν κυριος προς με και εκυκλωσαμεν το ορος το σηιρ ημερας πολλας
[2] και ειπεν κυριος προς με
[3] ικανουσθω υμιν κυκλουν το ορος τουτο επιστραφητε ουν επι βορραν
[4] και τω λαω εντειλαι λεγων υμεις παραπορευεσθε δια των οριων των αδελφων υμων υιων ησαυ οι κατοικουσιν εν σηιρ και φοβηθησονται υμας και ευλαβηθησονται υμας σφοδρα
[5] μη συναψητε προς αυτους πολεμον ου γαρ μη δω υμιν απο της γης αυτων ουδε βημα ποδος οτι εν κληρω δεδωκα τοις υιοις ησαυ το ορος το σηιρ
[6] βρωματα αργυριου αγορασατε παρ αυτων και φαγεσθε και υδωρ μετρω λημψεσθε παρ αυτων αργυριου και πιεσθε
[7] ο γαρ κυριος ο θεος ημων ευλογησεν σε εν παντι εργω των χειρων σου διαγνωθι πως διηλθες την ερημον την μεγαλην και την φοβεραν εκεινην ιδου τεσσαρακοντα ετη κυριος ο θεος σου μετα σου ουκ επεδεηθης ρηματος
[8] και παρηλθομεν τους αδελφους ημων υιους ησαυ τους κατοικουντας εν σηιρ παρα την οδον την αραβα απο αιλων και απο γασιωνγαβερ και επιστρεψαντες παρηλθομεν οδον ερημον μωαβ
[9] και ειπεν κυριος προς με μη εχθραινετε τοις μωαβιταις και μη συναψητε προς αυτους πολεμον ου γαρ μη δω υμιν απο της γης αυτων εν κληρω τοις γαρ υιοις λωτ δεδωκα την σηιρ κληρονομειν
[10] οι ομμιν προτεροι ενεκαθηντο επ αυτης εθνος μεγα και πολυ και ισχυοντες ωσπερ οι ενακιμ
[11] ραφαιν λογισθησονται και ουτοι ωσπερ οι ενακιμ και οι μωαβιται επονομαζουσιν αυτους ομμιν
[12] και εν σηιρ ενεκαθητο ο χορραιος προτερον και υιοι ησαυ απωλεσαν αυτους και εξετριψαν αυτους απο προσωπου αυτων και κατωκισθησαν αντ αυτων ον τροπον εποιησεν ισραηλ την γην της κληρονομιας αυτου ην δεδωκεν κυριος αυτοις
[13] νυν ουν αναστητε και απαρατε υμεις και παραπορευεσθε την φαραγγα ζαρετ και παρηλθομεν την φαραγγα ζαρετ
[14] και αι ημεραι ας παρεπορευθημεν απο καδης βαρνη εως ου παρηλθομεν την φαραγγα ζαρετ τριακοντα και οκτω ετη εως ου διεπεσεν πασα γενεα ανδρων πολεμιστων αποθνησκοντες εκ της παρεμβολης καθοτι ωμοσεν αυτοις ο θεος
[15] και η χειρ του θεου ην επ αυτοις εξαναλωσαι αυτους εκ της παρεμβολης εως ου διεπεσαν
[16] και εγενηθη επει διεπεσαν παντες οι ανδρες οι πολεμισται αποθνησκοντες εκ μεσου του λαου
[17] και ελαλησεν κυριος προς με λεγων
[18] συ παραπορευση σημερον τα ορια μωαβ την σηιρ
[19] και προσαξετε εγγυς υιων αμμαν μη εχθραινετε αυτοις και μη συναψητε αυτοις εις πολεμον ου γαρ μη δω απο της γης υιων αμμαν σοι εν κληρω οτι τοις υιοις λωτ δεδωκα αυτην εν κληρω

[21] εθνος μεγα και πολυ και δυνατωτερον υμων ωσπερ οι ενακιμ και απωλεσεν αυτους κυριος προ προσωπου αυτων και κατεκληρονομησαν και κατωκισθησαν αντ αυτων εως της ημερας ταυτης
[22] ωσπερ εποιησαν τοις υιοις ησαυ τοις κατοικουσιν εν σηιρ ον τροπον εξετριψαν τον χορραιον απο προσωπου αυτων και κατεκληρονομησαν και κατωκισθησαν αντ αυτων εως της ημερας ταυτης
[23] και οι ευαιοι οι κατοικουντες εν ασηρωθ εως γαζης και οι καππαδοκες οι εξελθοντες εκ καππαδοκιας εξετριψαν αυτους και κατωκισθησαν αντ αυτων

[25] εν τη ημερα ταυτη εναρχου δουναι τον τρομον σου και τον φοβον σου επι προσωπον παντων των εθνων των υποκατω του ουρανου οιτινες ακουσαντες το ονομα σου ταραχθησονται και ωδινας εξουσιν απο προσωπου σου
[26] και απεστειλα πρεσβεις εκ της ερημου κεδαμωθ προς σηων βασιλεα εσεβων λογοις ειρηνικοις λεγων
[27] παρελευσομαι δια της γης σου εν τη οδω παρελευσομαι ουχι εκκλινω δεξια ουδε αριστερα
[28] βρωματα αργυριου αποδωση μοι και φαγομαι και υδωρ αργυριου αποδωση μοι και πιομαι πλην οτι παρελευσομαι τοις ποσιν
[29] καθως εποιησαν μοι οι υιοι ησαυ οι κατοικουντες εν σηιρ και οι μωαβιται οι κατοικουντες εν αροηρ εως παρελθω τον ιορδανην εις την γην ην κυριος ο θεος ημων διδωσιν ημιν
[30] και ουκ ηθελησεν σηων βασιλευς εσεβων παρελθειν ημας δι αυτου οτι εσκληρυνεν κυριος ο θεος ημων το πνευμα αυτου και κατισχυσεν την καρδιαν αυτου ινα παραδοθη εις τας χειρας σου ως εν τη ημερα ταυτη
[31] και ειπεν κυριος προς με ιδου ηργμαι παραδουναι προ προσωπου σου τον σηων βασιλεα εσεβων τον αμορραιον και την γην αυτου εναρξαι κληρονομησαι την γην αυτου
[32] και εξηλθεν σηων βασιλευς εσεβων εις συναντησιν ημιν αυτος και πας ο λαος αυτου εις πολεμον ιασσα
[33] και παρεδωκεν αυτον κυριος ο θεος ημων προ προσωπου ημων και επαταξαμεν αυτον και τους υιους αυτου και παντα τον λαον αυτου
[34] και εκρατησαμεν πασων των πολεων αυτου εν τω καιρω εκεινω και εξωλεθρευσαμεν πασαν πολιν εξης και τας γυναικας αυτων και τα τεκνα αυτων ου κατελιπομεν ζωγρειαν
[35] πλην τα κτηνη επρονομευσαμεν και τα σκυλα των πολεων ελαβομεν
[36] εξ αροηρ η εστιν παρα το χειλος χειμαρρου αρνων και την πολιν την ουσαν εν τη φαραγγι και εως ορους του γαλααδ ουκ εγενηθη πολις ητις διεφυγεν ημας τας πασας παρεδωκεν κυριος ο θεος ημων εις τας χειρας ημων
[37] πλην εις γην υιων αμμων ου προσηλθομεν παντα τα συγκυρουντα χειμαρρου ιαβοκ και τας πολεις τας εν τη ορεινη καθοτι ενετειλατο ημιν κυριος ο θεος ημων
