⁸ “And when we passed beyond our brethren, the descendants of Esau who dwell in Seir, away from the road of the plain, away from ^(A)Elath and Ezion Geber, we ^(B)turned and passed by way of the Wilderness of Moab. ⁹ Then the Lord said to me, ‘Do not harass Moab, nor contend with them in battle, for I will not give you any of their land as a possession, because I have given ^(C)Ar to ^(D)the descendants of Lot as a possession.’ ”

^10 (E)(The Emim had dwelt there in times past, a people as great and numerous and tall as ^(F)the Anakim. ¹¹ They were also regarded as ^[a]giants, like the Anakim, but the Moabites call them Emim. ^12 (G)The Horites formerly dwelt in Seir, but the descendants of Esau dispossessed them and destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their ^[b]place, just as Israel did to the land of their possession which the Lord gave them.)
