Giants Deuteronomy 2

Numbers 2:20-21 "(That also was accounted a land of giants: giants dwelt therein in old time: and the Ammonites call them Zamzummins; A 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:"

Here we deal with several subjects concerning the activities of Israel around Canaan.

Esau's land was to be respected and left to him as his inheritance from God. Moses did ask to pass through but was refused probably because they were so great in number. When Edom (Esau) refused Moses skirted their territory.

v4 "Meddle 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. v5 "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."

Lot's land was also to be left alone. This was the land of Moab. Also known as Ar.

v11 "Which also were accounted giants, as the Anakims, but the Moabites call them Emims."

Finally, Sihon King of Heshbon is confronted about passing through his land and he refused. This time the Lord allows them to fight.

v32 "Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to fight at Jahaz. v33 And the Lord our God delivered him before us; and we smote him, and his sons, and all his people. v34 And 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:" See Numbers 33:55

The battle has begun.

Psalm 71:1 "In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust; let me never be put to confusion."
