Devarim 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.

Devarim 2:13 In-Context

11 Which also were accounted Refa’im, as the Anakim; but the Moavim called them Emim.

12 The Chorim also dwelt in Seir beforetime; but the Bnei Esav succeeded them, when they had destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their place; as Yisroel did unto the eretz of his yerushah Hashem gave unto them.

13 Now rise up, and get you over the Wadi Zered. And we went over the Wadi Zered.

14 And the space in which we came from Kadesh-Barnea, until we were come over the Wadi Zered, was 38 shanim; until all the generation of the anshei hamilchamah had been consumed from the machaneh, as Hashem had sworn unto them.

15 For indeed the yad Hashem was against them, to destroy them from among the machaneh, until they were consumed.
