## Deuteronomy 2:9-12 in Context (Verses 6–15 KJV)
 
 [6 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/2/6) Ye shall buy meat of them for money, that ye may eat; and ye shall also buy water of them for money, that ye may drink.
 
 [7 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/2/7) For the LORD thy God hath blessed thee in all the works of thy hand: he knoweth thy walking through this great wilderness: these forty years the LORD thy God *hath been* with thee; thou hast lacked nothing.
 
 [8 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/2/8) And when we passed by from our brethren the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, through the way of the plain from Elath, and from Ezion-gaber, we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab.
 
 [9 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/2/9) And the LORD said unto me, Distress not the Moabites, neither contend with them in battle: for I will not give thee of their land *for* a possession; because I have given Ar unto the children of Lot *for* a possession.*
 
 [10 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/2/10) The Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims;
 
 [11 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/2/11) Which also were accounted giants, as the Anakims; but the Moabites call them Emims.
 
 [12 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/2/12) The Horims also dwelt in Seir beforetime; but the children of Esau succeeded them, when they had destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their stead; as Israel did unto the land of his possession, which the LORD gave unto them.**
 
 [13 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/2/13) Now rise up, *said I*, and get you over the brook Zered. And we went over the brook Zered.*
 
 [14 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/2/14) And the space in which we came from Kadesh-barnea, until we were come over the brook Zered, *was* thirty and eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were wasted out from among the host, as the LORD sware unto them.*
 
 [15 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/2/15) For indeed the hand of the LORD was against them, to destroy them from among the host, until they were consumed.
