1Then we turned back and headed for the wilderness by way of the Red Sea, as the LORD had instructed me, and for many days we wandered around Mount Seir.
2At this time the LORD said to me,
“And the Lord spake unto me saying,”
“And the Lord spake unto me, saying,”
“and The Lord spoke to me saying”
“And the Lord speak unto me saying,”
3"You have been wandering around this hill country long enough; turn to the north
“Ye have compassed this mountain long enough. Turn you northward.”
“ye have compassed this mountain long enough. Turn you northwards”
4and command the people: 'You will pass through the territory of your brothers, the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir. They will be afraid of you, so you must be very careful.
“and command all the people saying, ye are to pass through the coast of your brethren, the children of Israel, which dwell in Seir. And they shall be afraid of you. Take ye good heed unto yourselves therefore.”
5Do not provoke them, for I will not give you any of their land, not even a footprint, because I have given Mount Seir to Esau as his possession.
“Meddle not with them for I will not give you their land. No, not so much as a footbreadth because I have given Mount Seir unto Esau for a possession.”
6You are to pay them in silver for the food you eat and the water you drink.'"
“Ye shall buy meat of them for money that ye may eat and ye shall also buy water of them for money that ye may drink.”
7Indeed, the LORD your God has blessed you in all the work of your hands. He has watched over your journey through this vast wilderness. The LORD your God has been with you these forty years, and you have lacked nothing.
“For the Lord your God has blessed you in all that you have done. He's known your wanderings through this great wilderness. These 40 years, the Lord your God has been with you. You have not lacked a thing.”
“For the Lord thy God has blessed thee in all the works of thy hand. He knows thy walking through this great wilderness. These forty years the Lord thy God has been with thee. Thou hast lacked nothing.”
8So we passed by our brothers, the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir. We turned away from the Arabah road, which comes up from Elath and Ezion-geber, and traveled along the road of the Wilderness of Moab.

9Then the LORD said to me, "Do not harass the Moabites or provoke them to war, for I will not give you any of their land, because I have given Ar to the descendants of Lot as their possession."
“then the Lord said to me. Do not harass Moab. Do not provoke them to war. For I will not give you any of their land as a possession because I've given our to the sons of lot as a possession.”
10(The Emites used to live there, a people great and many, as tall as the Anakites.
“The Emims dwelt there in time past, a people great and many, and tall as the Anakim,”
11Like the Anakites, they were also regarded as Rephaim, though the Moabites called them Emites.

12The 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 that the LORD gave them as their possession.)

14The time we spent traveling from Kadesh-barnea until we crossed over the Brook of Zered was thirty-eight years, until that entire generation of fighting men had perished from the camp, as the LORD had sworn to them.
“The time that it took for us to come from Kadesh Barnea until we crossed over the Brook Zirid was 38 years. Until all the generation of the men of war perished from within the camp as the Lord had sworn to them.”
“And the space in which we came from Cadiz, Barnea until we were come over the Brook, Zerud was thirty and eight years until all the generation of the men of war were wasted out from among the host as the Lord swear unto them”
15Indeed, the LORD's hand was against them, to eliminate them from the camp, until they had all perished.
“For indeed, the hand of the Lord was against them to destroy them from among the host until they were consumed.”
16Now when all the fighting men among the people had died,
“So it came to pass when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people”
17the LORD said to me,
“that then the Lord spake unto me saying,”
18"Today you are going to cross the border of Moab at Ar.

19But when you get close to the Ammonites, do not harass them or provoke them, for I will not give you any of the land of the Ammonites. I have given it to the descendants of Lot as their possession."
“When Thou comest nigh over against the children of Ammon, distress them not, nor meddle with them, for I will not give thee the land of the children of Ammon as a possession, because I have given it unto the children of Lot for a…”
20(That too was regarded as the land of the Rephaim, who used to live there, though the Ammonites called them Zamzummites.
“That also was accounted a land of giants. Giants dwelt there in old time, and the Ammonites called them Zamzumim.”
21They were a people great and many, as tall as the Anakites. But the LORD destroyed them from before the Ammonites, who drove them out and settled in their place,
