11. Who also were accounted giants, as the Anakims; but the Moabites call them Emims.
12. The Horims also dwelt formerly in Seir, but the children of Esau succeeded them, when they had destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their stead; as Israel did to the land of his possession, which the LORD gave to them.)
13. Now rise, said I, and pass over the brook Zered: and we went over the brook Zered.
