American Standard Version ASV
New International Version NIV
9 And Jehovah said unto me, Vex not Moab, neither contend with them in battle; for I will not give thee of his land for a possession; because I have given Ar unto the children of Lot for a possession.
9
Then the LORD said to me, “Do not harass the Moabites or provoke them to war, for I will not give you any part of their land. I have given Ar to the descendants of Lot as a possession.”
10 (The Emim dwelt therein aforetime, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakim:
10
(The Emites used to live there—a people strong and numerous, and as tall as the Anakites.
11 these also are accounted Rephaim, as the Anakim; but the Moabites call them Emim.
11
Like the Anakites, they too were considered Rephaites, but the Moabites called them Emites.
12 The Horites also dwelt in Seir aforetime, but the children of Esau succeeded them; and they destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their stead; as Israel did unto the land of his possession, which Jehovah gave unto them.)
12
Horites used to live in Seir, but the descendants of Esau drove them out. They destroyed the Horites from before them and settled in their place, just as Israel did in the land the LORD gave them as their possession.)
13 Now rise up, and get you over the brook Zered. And we went over the brook Zered.
13
And the LORD said, “Now get up and cross the Zered Valley.” So we crossed the valley.
14 And the days in which we came from Kadesh-barnea, until we were come over the brook Zered, were thirty and eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were consumed from the midst of the camp, as Jehovah sware unto them.
14
Thirty-eight years passed from the time we left Kadesh Barnea until we crossed the Zered Valley. By then, that entire generation of fighting men had perished from the camp, as the LORD had sworn to them.
15 Moreover the hand of Jehovah was against them, to destroy them from the midst of the camp, until they were consumed.
15
The LORD’s hand was against them until he had completely eliminated them from the camp.
16 So it came to pass, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,
16
Now when the last of these fighting men among the people had died,
17 that Jehovah spake unto me, saying,
17
the LORD said to me,
18 Thou art this day to pass over Ar, the border of Moab:
18
“Today you are to pass by the region of Moab at Ar.
19 and when thou comest nigh over against the children of Ammon, vex them not, nor contend with them; for I will not give thee of the land of the children of Ammon for a possession; because I have given it unto the children of Lot for a possession.
19
When you come to the Ammonites, do not harass them or provoke them to war, for I will not give you possession of any land belonging to the Ammonites. I have given it as a possession to the descendants of Lot.”
