[Now] turn north,H5437H2022H7227H6437H68284and command the people, saying, "You will pass through the territory of your brothers the sons of Esau who live in Seir; and they will be afraid of you. So be very careful;H6680H5971H559H5674H1366H251H1121H6215H3427H8165H3372H3966H81045do not provoke them, for I will not give you any of their land, even [as little as] a footstep because I have given Mount Seir to Esau as a possession.H1624H5414H776H7272H4096H3709H5414H2022H8165H6215H34256"You shall buy food from them with money so that you may eat, and you shall also purchase water from them with money so that you may drink.H7666H400H3701H398H3739H4325H3701H83547"For the LORD your God has blessed you in all that you have done; He has known your wanderings through this great wilderness. These forty years the LORD your God has been with you; you have not lacked a thing."

And we turned and passed through by the way of the wilderness of Moab.H5674H251H1121H6215H3427H8165H1870H6160H359H6100H6437H5674H1870H4057H41249"Then the LORD said to me, 'Do not harass Moab, nor provoke them to war, for I will not give you any of their land as a possession, because I have given Ar to the sons of Lot as a possession.H3068H559H6696H4124H1624H4421H5414H776H3425H5414H6144H1121H3876H342510(The Emim lived there formerly, a people as great, numerous, and tall as the Anakim.H368H3427H6440H5971H1419H7227H7311H606211Like the Anakim, they are also regarded as Rephaim, but the Moabites call them Emim.H1992H2803H7497H6062H4125H7121H36812The Horites formerly lived in Seir, but the sons of Esau dispossessed them and destroyed them from before them and settled in their place, just as Israel did to the land of their possession which the LORD gave to them.)H2752H3427H8165H6440H1121H6215H3423H8045H6440H3427H3478H6213H776H3425H3068H541413'Now arise and cross over the brook Zered yourselves.' So we crossed over the brook Zered.H6965H5674H5158H2218H5674H5158H221814"Now the time that it took for us to come from Kadesh-barnea, until we crossed over the brook Zered, was thirty-eight years; until all the generation of the men of war perished from within the camp, as the LORD had sworn to them.H3117H1980H6947H5674H5158H2218H7970H8083H8141H1755H582H4421H8552H7130H4264H3068H765015"Moreover the hand of the LORD was against them, to destroy them from within the camp, until they all perished.H3027H3068H2000H7130H4264H855216"So it came about when all the men of war had finally perished from among the people,H582H4421H8552H4191H7130H597117that the LORD spoke to me, saying,H3068H1696H55918'You shall cross over Ar, the border of Moab, today.H5674H6144H1366H4124H311719'And when you come opposite the sons of Ammon, do not harass them nor provoke them, for I will not give you any of the land of the sons of Ammon as a possession, because I have given it to the sons of Lot as a possession.'H7126H4136H1121H5983H6696H1624H5414H776H1121H5983H3425H5414H1121H3876H342520(It is also regarded as the land of the Rephaim, [for] Rephaim formerly lived in it, but the Ammonites call them Zamzummin,H2803H776H7497H7497H3427H6440H5984H7121H215721a people as great, numerous, and tall as the Anakim, but the LORD destroyed them before them. And they dispossessed them and settled in their place,H5971H1419H7227H7311H6062H3068H8045H6440H3423H342722just as He did for the sons of Esau, who live in Seir, when He destroyed the Horites from before them; and they dispossessed them, and settled in their place even to this day.H6213H1121H6215H3427H8165H8045H2752H6440H3423H3427H311723And the Avvim, who lived in villages as far as Gaza, the Caphtorim who came from Caphtor, destroyed them and lived in their place.)H5761H3427H2699H5804H3732H3318H3731H8045H342724'Arise, set out, and pass through the valley of Arnon.

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
