Deuteronomy 2:13 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 2:13

Now rise up, said I, and get you over the brook Zered
It is called the valley of Zered, ( Numbers 21:12 ) , the word used signifying both a valley and a brook; and it is very probable there were both a valley and a brook of the same name; it must be near Dibongad, since in one place it is said the Israelites came from Ijim and pitched in Zered; and in another place that they came from thence, and pitched in Dibongad, ( Numbers 21:11 Numbers 21:12 ) and Nu 33:45

and we went over the brook Zered;
which was fordable, or perhaps at this time dried up.

Deuteronomy 2:13 In-Context

11 Most people thought the Emim were Rephaim, like the Anakim were. But the Moabites called them "Emim."

12 Additionally, the Horim had lived in Seir previously, but Esau's descendants took possession of their area, eliminating them altogether and settling in their place. That is exactly what Israel did in the land it took possession of, which the LORD gave to them.)

13 "So then, get going. Cross the Zered ravine." So we crossed the Zered ravine.

14 It took us a total of thirty-eight years to go from Kadesh-barnea until we crossed the Zered ravine. It was at that point that the last of the previous generation, every one of fighting age in the camp, had died, just as the LORD had sworn about them.

15 In fact, the LORD's power was against them, to rid the camp of them, until they were all gone.
