Deuteronômio 2:10 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 2:10

The Emims dwelt there in time past
We read of them as early as the times of Chedorlaomer, ( Genesis 14:5 ) when their dwelling was in Kirjathaim, a city which Sihon king of the Amorites took from the Moabites, and which being taken from him, was with others given to the tribe of Reuben, ( Numbers 32:37 ) . These are by some thought to be the same with the Yemim which Anah found and met with in the wilderness, and defeated, which we render "mules", ( Genesis 36:24 ) . They had their name from the fear and terror they put men into because of their gigantic stature and great strength, as follows: it is probable they were the descendants of Ham:

a people great and many, and tall as the Anakims;
who were very numerous, of a very bulky size of body, and of high stature, like the giants the spies had seen at Hebron, the sons of Anak, a noted giant there, ( Numbers 13:22 Numbers 13:23 ) .

Deuteronômio 2:10 In-Context

8 “Assim, passamos ao largo de nossos irmãos, os descendentes de Esaú, que habitam em Seir. Saímos da rota da Arabá, de Elate e de Eziom-Geber. Voltamos e fomos pela rota do deserto de Moabe.

9 “Então o SENHOR me disse: ‘Não perturbem os moabitas nem os provoquem à guerra, pois não darei a vocês parte alguma da terra deles, pois já entreguei a região de Ar aos descendentes de Ló’.”

10 (Antigamente os emins habitavam nessa terra; eram um povo forte e numeroso, alto como os enaquins.

11 Como os enaquins, eles também eram considerados refains, mas os moabitas os chamavam emins.

12 Também em Seir antigamente habitavam os horeus. Mas os descendentes de Esaú os expulsaram e os exterminaram e se estabeleceram no seu lugar, tal como Israel fez com a terra que o SENHOR lhe deu.)
