9. “The Lord said to me, ‘Don’t bother the Moabites. Don’t start a war against them. I will not give you any of their land. They are the descendants of Lot, and I gave them the city of Ar.’”
10. (In the past, the Emites lived in Ar. They were strong people, and there were many of them. They were very tall, like the Anakites.
11. The Anakites were part of the Rephaites. People thought the Emites were also Rephaites, but the people of Moab called them Emites.
12. The Horites also lived in Seir in the past. Then Esau’s people destroyed the Horites, took their land, and settled there, just as the Israelites did to the people in the land that the Lord gave them.)
13. “The Lord told me, ‘Now, go to the other side of Zered Valley.’ So we crossed Zered Valley.
