Deuteronomy 2:12-14

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

¹² Moreover, the Horim had formerly inhabited Seir, but the descendants of Esau dispossessed them, destroying them and settling in their place, as Israel has done in the land that the Lord gave them as a possession.) ¹³ ‘Now then, proceed to cross over the Wadi Zered.’

So we crossed over the Wadi Zered. ¹⁴ And the length of time we had travelled from Kadesh-barnea until we crossed the Wadi Zered was thirty-eight years, until the entire generation of warriors had perished from the camp, as the Lord had sworn concerning them.
