Deuteronomy 2

Gen Z: Deuteronomy 2

1So we dipped and hit the wild vibes by the Red Sea, just like the Lord said, and we circled Mount Seir for a hot minute.

2And the Lord was like,

3Y’all been around this mountain long enough, time to head north, no cap.

4Tell the squad, "You’re gonna roll through your fam, the kids of Esau chillin' in Seir; they gonna be shook, so keep it 100."

5Don’t mess with them; I ain’t giving you even a foot of their land, 'cause I handed Mount Seir to Esau, periodt.

6You can cop food from them for cash, so you can eat; and you can also buy water from them for cash, so you can drink, fr.

7The Lord your God has blessed you in all your grind: He knows you been trekking through this wild for forty years; you ain’t missed a thing, no cap.

8When we rolled past our fam, the kids of Esau in Seir, through the plain from Elath and Ezion-gaber, we switched it up and went through the wild vibes of Moab.

9And the Lord told me, "Don’t stress the Moabites, don’t throw down with them; I ain’t giving you their land for keeps, 'cause I gave Ar to the kids of Lot for a spot."

10The Emims were living there back in the day, a big squad, mad tall, just like the Anakims;

11They were like big chillers, the Anakims; but the Moabites called them Emims, no cap.

12The Horims used to vibe in Seir, but then Esau's fam took over after they got wrecked, just like Israel did with their land, periodt.

13I was like, "Rise up, fam, let's cross the brook Zered," and we bounced over it, fr.

14We came from Kadesh-barnea to the brook Zered, and it took a solid thirty-eight years; all the warriors got wiped out, just as the Lord said, savage.

15For real, the Lord's hand was against them, making sure they got wrecked from the crew until they were gone.

16So it happened that all the warriors were totally gone and dead from the people, no cap.

17Then the Lord hit me up, saying,

18"You gotta pass through Ar, the Moab coast, today."

19And when you get close to the Ammonites, don't stress them or get involved; I ain't giving you their land, 'cause I gave it to Lot's fam instead, bet.

20(That place was also known for giants: giants were chilling there back in the day, and the Ammonites called them Zamzummims, fr.)

21A crew mad tall, like the Anakims; but the Lord was like, "Nah," and wiped them out, so they took over and chilled there instead.

22Just like what He did to Esau’s fam in Seir when He wrecked the Horims; they took over and settled there, still vibin' today.

23The Avims in Hazerim got wrecked by the Caphtorims from Caphtor, and they moved in and took over.

24Yo, get up, make your move, and cross the river Arnon: I’ve got Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, on lock, so go claim his land and pop off in battle.

25Today, I’m about to make all the nations under the sky feel your rizz and fear you when they hear about you, and they’ll be shook and stressed.

26I sent some peeps from the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon, king of Heshbon, with a chill message, saying,

27Let me cruise through your land: I’ll stick to the main road, no detours left or right.

28You gotta sell me food for cash so I can eat, and give me water for cash so I can drink: I’m just trying to walk through.

29Just like Esau’s crew in Seir and the Moabites in Ar did for me; until I cross the Jordan into the land the Lord our God is giving us.

30But Sihon, king of Heshbon, was like, "Nah fam," 'cause the Lord hardened his vibe and made him stubborn, so he’d end up in your hands, like it’s clear today.

31Yo, God was like, "Check it, I’m giving you Sihon and his whole land. Go ahead and claim it, it's yours now."

32Then Sihon rolled up on us with his crew, ready to throw down at Jahaz.

33But our God totally had our backs, so we took him out, along with his fam and all his peeps.

34We wiped out all his cities, no cap, left no one standing, not the dudes, the ladies, or the kiddos.

35We only snagged the cattle and all the loot from the cities we conquered.

36From Aroer by the river of Arnon to Gilead, no city could hang with us; God gave us the win.

37But we didn’t mess with the kids of Ammon, the Jabbok river, or any of the mountain towns that God told us to skip.

KJV: Deuteronomy 2

1Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea, as the Lord spake unto me: and we compassed mount Seir many days.

2And the Lord spake unto me, saying,

3Ye have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you northward.

4And command thou the people, saying, Ye are to pass through the coast of your brethren the children of Esau, which dwell in Seir; and they shall be afraid of you: take ye 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 Seir unto Esau for a possession.

6Ye 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.

7For 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.

8And 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.

9And 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.

10The Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims;

11Which also were accounted giants, as the Anakims; but the Moabites call them Emims.

12The 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.

13Now rise up, said I, and get you over the brook Zered. And we went over the brook Zered.

14And 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.

15For indeed the hand of the Lord 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 spake unto me, saying,

18Thou art to pass over through Ar, the coast of Moab, this day:

19And when thou comest nigh over against the children of Ammon, distress them not, nor meddle with them: for I will not give thee of the land of the children of Ammon 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 therein in old time; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims;

21A people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims; but the Lord destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead:

22As he did to the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, when he destroyed the Horims from before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead even unto this day:

23And the Avims which dwelt in Hazerim, even unto Azzah, the Caphtorims, which came forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and dwelt in their stead.)

24Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass over the river Arnon: behold, I have given into thine hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land: begin to possess it, and contend with him in battle.

25This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the nations that are under the whole heaven, who shall hear report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee.

26And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,

27Let me pass through thy land: I will go along by the high way, I will neither turn unto the right hand nor to the left.

28Thou shalt 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 Esau which dwell in Seir, and the Moabites which dwell in Ar, did unto me;) until I shall pass over Jordan into the land which the Lord our God giveth us.

30But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him: for the Lord thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into thy hand, as appeareth this day.

31And the Lord said unto me, Behold, I have begun to give Sihon and his land before thee: begin to possess, that thou mayest inherit his land.

32Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to fight at Jahaz.

33And the Lord our God delivered him before us; and we smote 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 of the cities which we took.

36From Aroer, which is by the brink of the river of Arnon, and from the city that is by the river, even unto Gilead, there was not one city too strong for us: the Lord our God delivered all unto us:

37Only unto the land of the children of Ammon thou camest not, nor unto any place of the river Jabbok, nor unto the cities in the mountains, nor unto whatsoever the Lord our God forbad us.
