Deuteronomy 2:12

Read in context

Deuteronomy 2:10–14 · Berean Standard Bible

10 (The Emites used to live there, a people great and many, as tall as the Anakites.

11 Like the Anakites, they were also regarded as Rephaim, though the Moabites called them Emites.

12 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 them as their possession.)

13 “Now arise and cross over the Brook of Zered.” So we crossed over the Brook of Zered.

14 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 to them.
