Deuteronomy 2:29-31

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²⁹ just as the descendants of Esau who live in Seir have done for me and likewise the Moabites who live in Ar—until I cross the Jordan into the land that the Lord our God is giving us.” ³⁰ But King Sihon of Heshbon was not willing to let us pass through, for the Lord your God had hardened his spirit and made his heart defiant in order to hand him over to you, as he has now done.

³¹ The Lord said to me, “See, I have begun to give Sihon and his land over to you. Begin now to take possession of his land.”
