Deuteronomy 2:19

Verse 19 of 37. The 2nd of 34 chapters in Deuteronomy, in The Law.

15Moreover the LORD’s hand was against them, to destroy them from the middle of the camp, until they were consumed.

16So, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,

17the LORD spoke to me, saying,

18“You are to pass over Ar, the border of Moab, today.

19When you come near the border of the children of Ammon, don’t bother them, nor contend with them; for I will not give you any of the land of the children of Ammon for a possession, because I have given it to the children of Lot for a possession.”

20(That also is considered a land of Rephaim. Rephaim lived there in the past, but the Ammonites call them Zamzummim,

21a great people, many, and tall, as the Anakim; but the LORD destroyed them from before Israel, and they succeeded them, and lived in their place,

22as he did for the children of Esau who dwell in Seir, when he destroyed the Horites from before them; and they succeeded them, and lived in their place even to this day.

23Then the Avvim, who lived in villages as far as Gaza: the Caphtorim, who came out of Caphtor, destroyed them and lived in their place.)
