Deuteronomy 2:16-25
Modern English Version

16 So it came to pass, when all the men of war were gone and dead from among the people, 17 then the Lord spoke to me, saying, 18 “Today, you are to pass over through Ar, the border of Moab. 19 When you come close to the Ammonites, do not harass them or provoke them, for I will not give you any of the land of the Ammonites as a possession, because I have given it to the children of Lot for a possession.”

20 (That also is considered the land of giants. Giants formerly lived there, but the Ammonites call them Zamzummites. 21 They were a great people, as numerous and tall as the Anakites. But the Lord destroyed them before the Ammonites. Then they dispossessed them and lived in their place, 22 just as He had done for the children of Esau, who lived in Seir, when He destroyed the Horites from before them, and they dispossessed them, and lived in their place even to this day. 23 And the Avvites, who lived in villages as far as Gaza, the Caphtorites, who came out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and lived in their place.)

King Sihon Defeated

24 “Arise, set out, and cross the River Arnon. See, I have given Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land into your hand. Begin to possess it and contend with him in battle. 25 This day I will begin to put the dread of you and the fear of you on the nations that are under the whole heaven, who shall hear the report of you, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of you.”

Deuteronomy 2:16-25
Lexham English Bible

16 “And then[a] when all the men of war[b] had died[c] from among the people, 17 Yahweh spoke to me, saying,[d] 18 ‘You are about to cross over the boundary of Moab today[e] at Ar. 19 When you approach the border of[f] the Ammonites,[g] you shall not harass them, and you shall not get involved in battle with them, for I have not given the land of the Ammonites[h] to you as a possession; because I have given it to the descendants[i] of Lot as a possession. 20 (It is also considered the land of Rephaim; Rephaim lived in it previously,[j] and the Ammonites called them Zamzummim, 21 a people great and numerous and as tall as the Anakites; Yahweh destroyed them from before them,[k] and they dispossessed them and settled in place of them, 22 just as he did for the descendants[l] of Esau, who live in Seir, when he destroyed the Horites from before them[m] and dispossessed them, and then they settled in their[n] place up to this day. 23 And also the Avvites, who lived in villages as far as Gaza, and the Caphtorim, who came out from Caphtor, destroyed them and then settled in their place. 24 Arise,[o] set out and cross over the wadi[p] of Arnon. Look! I have given Sihon the Amorite, the king of Heshbon, and his land into your hand; begin to take possession of it, and engage with him in battle. 25 This day I will begin to place the dread of you[q] and the fear of you before[r] the peoples under all the heavens. They will hear the report about you,[s] and so they will shake and tremble because of you.’ [t]
