Deuteronomy 2
2
1Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea, as the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) spoke unto me: and we compassed mount Se’ir [Shaggy] many days.
2And the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) spoke unto me, saying,
3You2f have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you northward.
4And command youi the people, saying, You2f [are] to pass through the coast of your brethren the children of ‘Esav [Hairy], which dwell in Se’ir [Shaggy]; and they shall be afraid of you: take you2f good heed unto yourselves therefore:
5Meddle not with them; for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as a foot breadth; because I have given mount Se’ir [Shaggy] unto ‘Esav [Hairy] [for] a possession.
6You2f shall buy meat of them for money, that you2f may eat; and you2f shall also buy water of them for money, that you2f may drink.
7For the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) youi God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] has Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) youi in all the works of youi hand: he knows youi walking through this great wilderness: these forty years the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) youi God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] [has been] with youi; youi have lacked nothing.
8And when we passed by from our brethren the children of ‘Esav [Hairy], which dwelt in Se’ir [Shaggy], through the way of the plain from Eilat [Grove of Lofty Trees], and from ‘Etzyon-Gever [Backbone of a Man], we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Mo’av [Seed of my Father].
9And the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) said unto me, Distress not the Mo’avi [of his father], neither contend with them in battle: for I will not give youi of their land [for] a possession; because I have given ‘Ar [A City] unto the children of Lot [for] a possession.
10The Emim [Terrors] dwelt in it in times past, a people great, and many, and tall, as the ‘Anakim [Longed-Necked];
11Which also were accounted giants, as the ‘Anakim [Longed-Necked]; but the Mo’avi [of his father] call them Emim [Terrors].
12The Horim [Cave Dweller] also dwelt in Se’ir [Shaggy] formerly; but the children of ‘Esav [Hairy] succeeded them, when they had destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their stead; as Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] did unto the land of his possession, which the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) gave unto them.
13Now rise up, [said I], and get you over the brook Zered [Osier Brook]. And we went over the brook Zered [Osier Brook].
14And the space in which we came from Kadesh [Holy] -Barnea [Holy], until we were come over the brook Zered [Osier Brook], [was] thirty and eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were wasted out from among the host, as the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) swore unto them.
15For indeed the hand of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) was against them, to destroy them from among the host, until they were consumed.
16So it came to pass, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,
17That the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) spoke unto me, saying,
18youi are to pass over through ‘Ar [A City], the coast of Mo’av [Seed of my Father], this day:
19And [when] youi come near over against the children of ‘Amon [Inbred], distress them not, nor meddle with them: for I will not give youi of the land of the children of ‘Amon [Inbred] [any] possession; because I have given it unto the children of Lot [for] a possession.
20(That also was accounted a land of giants: giants dwelt in it in old time; and the ‘Amon [Inbred] call them Zamzumim [Plotters];
21A people great, and many, and tall, as the ‘Anakim [Longed-Necked]; but the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead:
22As he did to the children of ‘Esav [Hairy], which dwelt in Se’ir [Shaggy], when he destroyed the Horim [Cave Dweller] from before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead even unto this day:
23And the ‘Avim [Ruins] [Ruins] which dwelt in Hatzerim [Villages], [even] unto ‘Azah [The Strong], the Kaftorim [A Crown], which came forth out of Kaftor [A Crown], destroyed them, and dwelt in their stead.)
24Rise you2f up, take your journey, and pass over the river ‘Arnon [Rushing Stream]: behold, I have given into youi hand Sichon [Warrior] the Emori [Rebellious Highlanders], king of Heshbon [Stronghold], and his land: begin to possess [it], and contend with him in battle.
25This day will I begin to put the dread of youi and the fear of youi upon the nations [that are] under the whole heaven, who shall hear report of youi, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of youi.
26And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of K’demot [Eastern] unto Sichon [Warrior] king of Heshbon [Stronghold] with words of peace, saying,
27Let me pass through youi land: I will go along by the high way, I will neither turn unto the right hand nor to the left.
28youi shall sell me meat for money, that I may eat; and give me water for money, that I may drink: only I will pass through on my feet;
29(As the children of ‘Esav [Hairy] which dwell in Se’ir [Shaggy], and the Mo’avi [of his father] which dwell in ‘Ar [A City], did unto me;) until I shall pass over Yarden [Descender] into the land which the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) our God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] gives us.
30But Sichon [Warrior] king of Heshbon [Stronghold] would not let us pass by him: for the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) youi God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into youi hand, as [appears] this day.
31And the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) said unto me, Behold, I have begun to give Sichon [Warrior] and his land before youi: begin to possess, that youi may inherit his land.
32Then Sichon [Warrior] came out against us, he and all his people, to fight at Yachatz [Trampled Down].
33And the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) our God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] delivered him before us; and we struck him, and his sons, and all his people.
34And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed the men, and the women, and the little ones, of every city, we left none to remain:
35Only the cattle we took for a prey unto ourselves, and the spoil (plunder; prey; booty) of the cities which we took.
36From ‘Aeo’er [Ruins], which [is] by the brink of the river of ‘Arnon [Rushing Stream], and [from] the city that [is] by the river, even unto Gil’ad [Rocky Region], there was not one city too strong for us: the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) our God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] delivered all unto us:
37Only unto the land of the children of ‘Amon [Inbred] youi came not, [nor] unto any place of the river Yabok [luxuriant emptying river], nor unto the cities in the mountains, nor unto whatsoever the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) our God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] forbad us.
