Deuteronomy 2:8-10
1599 Geneva Bible
8 And when we were departed from our brethren the children of Esau which dwelt in Seir: through the way of the [a]plain, from Elath, and from Ezion Geber, we turned and went by the way of the wilderness of Moab.
9 Then the Lord said unto me, Thou shalt not [b]vex Moab, neither provoke them to battle: for I will not give thee of their land for a possession, because I have given Ar unto the children [c]of Lot for a possession.
10 The [d]Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great and many, and tall, as the Anakims.

New International Version
8 So we went on past our relatives the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir. We turned from(A) the Arabah(B) road, which comes up from Elath and Ezion Geber,(C) and traveled along the desert road of Moab.(D)
9 Then the Lord said to me, “Do not harass the Moabites or provoke them to war, for I will not give you any part of their land. I have given Ar(E) to the descendants of Lot(F) as a possession.”
10 (The Emites(G) used to live there—a people strong and numerous, and as tall as the Anakites.(H)
