12 ( U)The Horites also lived in Seir formerly, but the people of Esau dispossessed them and destroyed them from before them and settled in their place, ( V)as Israel did to the land of their possession, which the Lord gave to them.) 13 ‘Now rise up and go over ( W)the brook Zered.’ So we went over ( X)the brook Zered. 11 Like the Anakim they are also counted as ( T)Rephaim, but the Moabites call them Emim. 9 And the Lord said to me, ( N)‘Do not harass Moab or contend with them in battle, for I will not give you any of their land for a possession, because I have given ( O)Ar to ( P)the people of Lot for a possession.’ 10 ( ( Q)The Emim formerly lived there, ( R)a people great and many, and tall ( S)as the Anakim. “And we turned and went in the direction of the wilderness of Moab.
