Deuteronomy 2

The Message Bible MSG

1 Then we turned around and went back into the wilderness following the route to the Red Sea, as God had instructed me. We worked our way in and around the hills of Seir for a long, long time.

2 Then God said,

3 "You've been going around in circles in these hills long enough; go north.

4 Command the people, You're about to cut through the land belonging to your relatives, the People of Esau who settled in Seir. They are terrified of you, but restrain yourselves.

5 Don't try and start a fight. I am not giving you so much as a square inch of their land. I've already given all the hill country of Seir to Esau - he owns it all.

6 Pay them up front for any food or water you get from them."

7 God, your God, has blessed you in everything you have done. He has guarded you in your travels through this immense wilderness. For forty years now, God, your God, has been right here with you. You haven't lacked one thing.

8 So we detoured around our brothers, the People of Esau who live in Seir, avoiding the Arabah Road that comes up from Elath and Ezion Geber; instead we used the road through the Wilderness of Moab.

9 God told me, "And don't try to pick a fight with the Moabites. I am not giving you any of their land. I've given ownership of Ar to the People of Lot."

10 The Emites (Monsters) used to live there - mobs of hulking giants, like Anakites.

11 Along with the Anakites they were lumped in with the Rephaites (Ghosts) but in Moab they were called Emites.

12 Horites also used to live in Seir, but the descendants of Esau took over and destroyed them, the same as Israel did in the land God gave them to possess.

13 God said, "It's time now to cross the Brook Zered." So we crossed the Brook Zered.

14 It took us thirty-eight years to get from Kadesh Barnea to the Brook Zered. That's how long it took for the entire generation of soldiers from the camp to die off, as God had sworn they would.

15 God was relentless against them until the last one was gone from the camp.

16 When the last of these soldiers had died,

17 God said to me,

18 "This is the day you cut across the territory of Moab, at Ar.

19 When you approach the People of Ammon, don't try and pick a fight with them because I'm not giving you any of the land of the People of Ammon for yourselves - I've already given it to the People of Lot."

20 It is also considered to have once been the land of the Rephaites. Rephaites lived there long ago - the Ammonites called them Zamzummites (Barbarians)

21 - huge mobs of them, giants like the Anakites. God destroyed them and the Ammonites moved in and took over.

22 It was the same with the People of Esau who live in Seir - God got rid of the Horites who lived there earlier and they moved in and took over, as you can see.

23 Regarding the Avvites who lived in villages as far as Gaza, the Caphtorites who came from Caphtor (Crete) wiped them out and moved in.

24 "On your feet now. Get started. Cross the Brook Arnon. Look: Here's Sihon the Amorite king of Heshbon and his land. I'm handing it over to you - it's all yours. Go ahead take it. Go to war with him.

25 Before the day is out, I'll make sure that all the people around here are thoroughly terrified. Rumors of you are going to spread like wildfire; they'll totally panic."

26 From the Wilderness of Kedemoth, I sent messengers to Sihon, king of Heshbon. They carried a friendly message:

27 "Let me cross through your land on the highway. I'll stay right on the highway; I won't trespass right or left.

28 I'll pay you for any food or water we might need. Let me walk through.

29 "The People of Esau who live in Seir and the Moabites who live in Ar did this, helping me on my way until I can cross the Jordan and enter the land that God, our God, is giving us."

30 But Sihon king of Heshbon wouldn't let us cross his land. God, your God, turned his spirit mean and his heart hard so he could hand him over to you, as you can see that he has done.

31 Then God said to me, "Look, I've got the ball rolling - Sihon and his land are soon yours. Go ahead. Take it. It's practically yours!"

32 So Sihon and his entire army confronted us in battle at Jahaz.

33 God handed him, his sons, and his entire army over to us and we utterly crushed them.

34 While we were at it we captured all his towns and totally destroyed them, a holy destruction - men, women, and children. No survivors.

35 We took the livestock and the plunder from the towns we had captured and carried them off for ourselves.

36 From Aroer on the edge of the Brook Arnon and the town in the gorge, as far as Gilead, not a single town proved too much for us; God, our God, gave every last one of them to us.

37 The only land you didn't take, obeying God's command, was the land of the People of Ammon, the land along the Jabbok and around the cities in the hills.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 profectique inde venimus in solitudinem quae ducit ad mare Rubrum sicut mihi dixerat Dominus et circumivimus montem Seir longo tempore

2 dixitque Dominus ad me

3 sufficit vobis circumire montem istum ite contra aquilonem

4 et populo praecipe dicens transibitis per terminos fratrum vestrorum filiorum Esau qui habitant in Seir et timebunt vos

5 videte ergo diligenter ne moveamini contra eos neque enim dabo vobis de terra eorum quantum potest unius pedis calcare vestigium quia in possessionem Esau dedi montem Seir

6 cibos emetis ab eis pecunia et comedetis aquam emptam haurietis et bibetis

7 Dominus Deus tuus benedixit tibi in omni opere manuum tuarum novit iter tuum quomodo transieris solitudinem hanc magnam per quadraginta annos habitans tecum Dominus Deus tuus et nihil tibi defuit

8 cumque transissemus fratres nostros filios Esau qui habitabant in Seir per viam campestrem de Helath et de Asiongaber venimus ad iter quod ducit in desertum Moab

9 dixitque Dominus ad me non pugnes contra Moabitas nec ineas adversum eos proelium non enim dabo tibi quicquam de terra eorum quia filiis Loth tradidi Ar in possessionem

10 Emim primi fuerunt habitatores eius populus magnus et validus et tam excelsus ut de Enacim stirpe

11 quasi gigantes crederentur et essent similes filiorum Enacim denique Moabitae appellant eos Emim

12 in Seir autem prius habitaverunt Horim quibus expulsis atque deletis habitaverunt filii Esau sicut fecit Israhel in terra possessionis suae quam dedit ei Dominus

13 surgentes ergo ut transiremus torrentem Zared venimus ad eum

14 tempus autem quo ambulavimus de Cadesbarne usque ad transitum torrentis Zared triginta octo annorum fuit donec consumeretur omnis generatio hominum bellatorum de castris sicut iuraverat Dominus

15 cuius manus fuit adversum eos ut interirent de castrorum medio

16 postquam autem universi ceciderunt pugnatores

17 locutus est Dominus ad me dicens

18 tu transibis hodie terminos Moab urbem nomine Ar

19 et accedens in vicina filiorum Ammon cave ne pugnes contra eos nec movearis ad proelium non enim dabo tibi de terra filiorum Ammon quia filiis Loth dedi eam in possessionem

20 terra gigantum reputata est et in ipsa olim habitaverunt gigantes quos Ammanitae vocant Zomzommim

21 populus magnus et multus et procerae longitudinis sicut Enacim quos delevit Dominus a facie eorum et fecit illos habitare pro eis

22 sicut fecerat filiis Esau qui habitant in Seir delens Horreos et terram eorum illis tradens quam possident usque in praesens

23 Eveos quoque qui habitabant in Aserim usque Gazam Cappadoces expulerunt qui egressi de Cappadocia deleverunt eos et habitaverunt pro illis

24 surgite et transite torrentem Arnon ecce tradidi in manu tua Seon regem Esebon Amorreum et terram eius incipe possidere et committe adversum eum proelium

25 hodie incipiam mittere terrorem atque formidinem tuam in populos qui habitant sub omni caelo ut audito nomine tuo paveant et in morem parturientium contremescant et dolore teneantur

26 misi ergo nuntios de solitudine Cademoth ad Seon regem Esebon verbis pacificis dicens

27 transibimus per terram tuam publica gradiemur via non declinabimus neque ad dextram neque ad sinistram

28 alimenta pretio vende nobis ut vescamur aquam pecunia tribue et sic bibemus tantum est ut nobis concedas transitum

29 sicut fecerunt filii Esau qui habitant in Seir et Moabitae qui morantur in Ar donec veniamus ad Iordanem et transeamus in terram quam Dominus Deus noster daturus est nobis

30 noluitque Seon rex Esebon dare nobis transitum quia induraverat Dominus Deus tuus spiritum eius et obfirmaverat cor illius ut traderetur in manus tuas sicut nunc vides

31 dixitque Dominus ad me ecce coepi tradere tibi Seon et terram eius incipe possidere eam

32 egressusque est Seon obviam nobis cum omni populo suo ad proelium in Iesa

33 et tradidit eum Dominus Deus noster nobis percussimusque eum cum filiis et omni populo suo

34 cunctasque urbes in tempore illo cepimus interfectis habitatoribus earum viris ac mulieribus et parvulis non reliquimus in eis quicquam

35 absque iumentis quae in partem venere praedantium et spoliis urbium quas cepimus

36 ab Aroer quae est super ripam torrentis Arnon oppido quod in valle situm est usque Galaad non fuit vicus et civitas quae nostras effugeret manus omnes tradidit Dominus Deus noster nobis

37 absque terra filiorum Ammon ad quam non accessimus et cunctis quae adiacent torrenti Ieboc et urbibus montanis universisque locis a quibus nos prohibuit Dominus Deus noster
