Continuing
to recount the last leg of their journey before entering upon the promised land
Moses spoke about the journey which took them though Mount Seir, the land of
the children of Esau and then through the land of the Moabites, the Lord
likewise told Moses to leave them alone as that land He had given to the children
of Lot for a possession.
The
Lord also told Moses that before the occupation of the children of Lot a people
known as the Erin dwelt therein, a people great and vast in number. They were the same kind of people as dwelt in
Seir, the people whom the spies had described as giants and who had put fear in
the hearts of the children of Israel.
But the Lord had allowed the children of Esau to drive them out and gave
the land to them, just as he helped the children of Lot to drive out the occupants
and possess the land.
Now
let us rise up Moses told them and let us go over the brook Zered and as Moses
recalled that from Kadesh-Barnea, to Seir, through Moab, until they crossed
over the Brook Zered was thirty eight years, during which time all the men of
war had perished as the Lord had said they would.
