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]
