Deuteronomy 2:12-14

EasyEnglish Bible

¹² Before this time, the Horites lived in Seir, but the descendants of Esau chased them away. They destroyed the Horites and they lived in their country. The Israelites did the same thing to the people who had lived in the land that the Lord gave to them.)

¹³ Then the Lord said, ‘Get up now and cross the Zered valley.’ So we went across the stream.

¹⁴ 38 years had passed since we left Kadesh-Barnea. By the time we crossed the Zered valley, all the men who had been old enough to fight had now died. The Lord had said that this would happen.^[a]
