Deuteronomy 2

¹Then we turned, and tooke our iourney into the wildernes, by the way of the red Sea, as the Lord spake vnto me: and we compassed mount Seir a long time.

²And the Lord spake vnto me, saying,

³Ye haue compassed this mountaine long ynough: turne you Northward.

⁴And warne thou the people, saying, Ye shall go through the coast of your brethren the children of Esau, which dwell in Seir, and they shall be afraide of you: take ye good heede therefore.

⁵Ye shall not prouoke them: for I wil not giue you of their land so much as a foot breadth, because I haue giuen mount Seir vnto Esau for a possession.

⁶Ye shall buy meate of them for money to eate, and ye shall also procure water of them for money to drinke.

⁷For the Lord thy God hath blessed thee in all the workes of thine hand: he knoweth thy walking through this great wildernes, and the Lord thy God hath bene with thee this fourtie yeere, and thou hast lacked nothing.

⁸And when we were departed from our brethren the children of Esau which dwelt in Seir, through the way of the plaine, from Elath, and from Ezion-gaber, we turned and went by the way of the wildernes of Moab.

⁹Then the Lord sayd vnto me, Thou shalt not vexe Moab, neither prouoke them to battel: for I wil not giue thee of their land for a possession, because I haue giuen Ar vnto the children of Lot for a possession.

¹⁰The Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great and many, and tall, as the Anakims.

¹¹They also were taken for gyants as the Anakims: whom the Moabites call Emims.
