Deuteronômio 2:10-20

10 (Antes haviam habitado nela os emins, povo grande e numeroso, e alto como os anaquins;

11 eles também são considerados refains como os anaquins; mas os moabitas lhes chamam emins.

12 Outrora os horeus também habitaram em Seir; porém os filhos de Esaú os desapossaram, e os destruíram de diante de si, e habitaram no lugar deles, assim come Israel fez � terra da sua herança, que o Senhor lhe deu.)

13 Levantai-vos agora, e passai o ribeiro de Zerede. Passamos, pois, o ribeiro de Zerede.

14 E os dias que caminhamos, desde Cades-Barnéia até passarmos o ribeiro de Zerede, foram trinta e oito anos, até que toda aquela geração dos homens de guerra se consumiu do meio do arraial, como o Senhor lhes jurara.

15 Também foi contra eles a mão do Senhor, para os destruir do meio do arraial, até os haver consumido.

16 Ora, sucedeu que, sendo já consumidos pela morte todos os homens de guerra dentre o povo,

17 o Senhor me disse:

18 Hoje passarás por Ar, o limite de Moabe;

19 e quando chegares defronte dos amonitas, não os molestes, e com eles não contendas, porque nada te darei da terra dos amonitas por herança; porquanto aos filhos de Ló a dei por herança.

20 (Também essa é considerada terra de refains; outrora habitavam nela refains, mas os amonitas lhes chamam zanzumins,

Deuteronômio 2:10-20 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO DEUTERONOMY 2

In this chapter Moses goes on with his account of the affairs of the people of Israel, and what befell them, how they turned into the wilderness again; but passes over in silence their travels there, till they came to Mount Self, where having been some time they were bid to depart, De 2:1-3, and were directed not to meddle with the Edomites, or take anything from them, but pay them for what they should have of them, since they lacked not, De 2:4-8, nor to distress the Moabites, of whose country, as formerly inhabited, and also of Edom, some account is given, De 2:9-12, when they were bid to go over the brook Zered, to which from their coming from Kadeshbarnea was the space of thirty eight years, in which time the former generation was consumed, De 2:13-16 and now passing along the borders of Moab, they were ordered not to meddle with nor distress the children of Ammon, of whose land also, and the former inhabitants of it, an account is given, De 2:17-23, then passing over the river Arnon, they are bid to fight with Sihon king of the Amorites, and possess his land, De 2:24,25 to whom they sent messengers, desiring leave to pass through his land, and to furnish them with provisions for their money, as the Edomites and Moabites had done, De 2:26-29 but he refusing, this gave them an opportunity to attack him, in which they succeeded, slew him and his people, and took possession of his country, De 2:30-37.
