Deuteronomy 2
1 “Then we turned around and went through the desert toward the (Red Sea/Gulf of Aqaba), as Yahweh told us to do, and we wandered in the Edom area for many years.
and to turn and to set out [the] wilderness [to] way: direction sea Red (Sea) like/as as which to speak: speak LORD to(wards) me and to turn: surround [obj] mountain: mount (Mount) Seir day many
2 Then Yahweh said to me,
and to say LORD to(wards) me to/for to say
3 ‘You have been wandering around this hilly area for a long enough time. Now turn [and travel] toward the north.
many to/for you to turn: surround [obj] [the] mountain: hill country [the] this to turn to/for you north [to]
4 And tell the people that they are about to travel near the land that belongs to the descendants of Esau, who are also descendants of Isaac. They live in the [hilly] Edom region. They will be afraid of you,

5 but do not start to fight against them, because I am not going to give you even a tiny bit [HYP] of their land. I have given that land to the descendants of Esau.
not to stir up in/on/with them for not to give: give to/for you from land: country/planet their till treading palm: sole foot for possession to/for Esau to give: give [obj] mountain: mount (Mount) Seir
6 [When you travel near their land], buy food and water from them.’
food to buy grain from with them in/on/with silver: money and to eat and also water to trade from with them in/on/with silver: money and to drink
7 Do not forget that Yahweh our God has blessed you in everything that you [SYN] have done. He knows [what has happened to you while] you have wandered in this huge desert. But he has been with you during those 40 years, and as a result you have had everything that you needed [LIT].
for LORD God your to bless you in/on/with all deed: work hand your to know to go: went you [obj] [the] wilderness [the] great: large [the] this this forty year LORD God your with you not to lack word: thing
8 So we continued to travel. We avoided going through the hilly area where the descendants of Esau live. We stayed away from the road through the Jordan [River] Valley past Ezion-Geber and Elath [towns], and we turned and traveled northeast toward the desert area where the Moab people-group lives.
and to pass from with brother: compatriot our son: descendant/people Esau [the] to dwell in/on/with Seir from way: road [the] Arabah from Elath and from Ezion-geber Ezion-geber and to turn and to pass way: direction wilderness Moab
9 Yahweh said to me, ‘Do not bother/harass the people of Moab, and do not start to fight against them, because I am not going to give you any of their land. [Do not forget that] they are descendants of [Abraham’s nephew] Lot, and I have given to them Ar [city, their capital, and the other areas in that country].’”
and to say LORD to(wards) me to(wards) to provoke [obj] Moab and not to stir up in/on/with them battle for not to give: give to/for you from land: country/planet his possession for to/for son: descendant/people Lot to give: give [obj] Ar possession
10 A large group of giants called Emim formerly lived there. They were strong and numerous, and as tall as the giants who were descendants of Anak.
[the] Emim to/for face: before to dwell in/on/with her people great: large and many and to exalt like/as Anakite
11 They and the descendants of Anak are also called the Repha giants, but the people of Moab call them Emim.
Rephaim to devise: think also they(masc.) like/as Anakite and [the] Moabite to call: call by to/for them Emim
12 The Hor people-group also formerly lived in the Edom area, but the descendants of Esau chased them out. They defeated and killed them and (settled in/occupied) their land, just as the Israeli people later expelled their enemies from the land that Yahweh gave to them.
and in/on/with Seir to dwell [the] Horite to/for face: before and son: descendant/people Esau to possess: take them and to destroy them from face: before their and to dwell underneath: instead them like/as as which to make: do Israel to/for land: country/planet possession his which to give: give LORD to/for them
13 [I also said to the Israeli people], “Then we crossed the Zered Gorge, as Yahweh told us to do.
now to arise: rise and to pass to/for you [obj] torrent: valley Zered and to pass [obj] torrent: valley Zered
14 It had been thirty-eight years from the time we first left Kadesh-Barnea until we crossed the Zered Gorge. During those years, all the Israeli (fighting men/soldiers) of that generation had died, as Yahweh had vowed would happen.
and [the] day which to go: went from Kadesh-barnea Kadesh-barnea till which to pass [obj] torrent: valley Zered thirty and eight year till to finish all [the] generation human [the] battle from entrails: among [the] camp like/as as which to swear LORD to/for them

18 ‘Today you all must cross the border into the Moab region, near Ar, [their capital city].

19 When you come near the border of the land where the Ammon people-group live, do not bother/harass them or start to fight against them. They are also descendants of Lot, so I am not going to give you any of the land that I have given to them.’”

20 That region is also called the land of the Repha giants, who formerly lived there. The Ammon people-group call them the Zamzum group.

21 They were a large and powerful group, who were as tall as the descendants of Anak. But Yahweh got rid of them, and the Ammon people-group expelled them and took their land away from them and started to live there.
people great: large and many and to exalt like/as Anakite and to destroy them LORD from face: before their and to possess: take them and to dwell underneath: instead them
22 Yahweh had done the same thing for the descendants of Esau who live in the hilly area of Edom. He got rid of the Hor people-group, with the result that the Edom people-group took their land from them and started to live there. They still live there.
like/as as which to make: do to/for son: descendant/people Esau [the] to dwell in/on/with Seir which to destroy [obj] [the] Horite from face: before their and to possess: take them and to dwell underneath: instead them till [the] day [the] this
23 People who came from Crete [Island] got rid of the Av group [who previously lived in the land close to the Mediterranean Sea], as far south as Gaza. They took their land from them and started to live there.
and [the] Avvim [the] to dwell in/on/with village till Gaza Caphtorim [the] to come out: come from Caphtor to destroy them and to dwell underneath: instead them
24 “[After we had gone through the Moab region], Yahweh said to us, ‘Now cross the Arnon [River]. I will help you to defeat [IDM] [the army of] Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group, who lives in Heshbon [city]. So attack their army and start to take their land from them.
to arise: rise to set out and to pass [obj] torrent: valley Arnon to see: behold! to give: give in/on/with hand: power your [obj] Sihon king Heshbon [the] Amorite and [obj] land: country/planet his to profane/begin: begin to possess: take and to stir up in/on/with him battle

26 Then I sent messengers to go from the desert to King Sihon at Heshbon. I told them to give this peaceful message to the king:
and to send: depart messenger from wilderness Kedemoth to(wards) Sihon king Heshbon word peace to/for to say
27 ‘Please allow us to travel through your land. We [promise that we] will stay on the road; we will not turn off to the right or to the left.

29 until we cross the Jordan [River] into the land that Yahweh our God is giving to us. Do for us just as the descendants of Esau who live in the Edom area and the Moab people-group did for us when they allowed us to go through their areas.’

30 But King Sihon would not allow us to go through his country. That was because Yahweh our God caused him to be stubborn [IDM]. The result was that Yahweh enabled us to defeat his army and take his land [IDM], which we still live in.
and not be willing Sihon king Heshbon to pass us in/on/with him for to harden LORD God your [obj] spirit his and to strengthen [obj] heart his because to give: give him in/on/with hand: power your like/as day: today [the] this
31 Yahweh said to me, ‘Listen! I am about to allow you to defeat Sihon’s [army] and to take the people’s land from them. So start to occupy it!’

36 Yahweh our God enabled us to capture [IDM] all their towns from Aroer [in the south], which is at the edge of the Arnon River [Valley], to the Gilead [region in the north]. Some of their cities had [walls around them], but we were able to [climb over them].
