Devarim+Perek+2

Summary of Devarim Perek 2

Meeting Se'ir 1-8
[|Nasa photo and story of Har Seir] The Jews were heading south, but G-d said to Moshe "you have been wandering for a long time" and then told Moshe to tell the Jews to turn around and head north. When we go through the nation of Moav, we shouldn't provoke them to war because that land was already given to Esav's decedents.

Meeting Moav 9-16
The Jews went through the Moav desert, and G-d told the Jews not to fight with Moav, or even to intimidate them. One way of intimidation is training our forces on the border next to Moav. The Jews couldn't get Aravah because it was already Lot's decendants inheritence. The Emim lived their first but then Esav's decendant killed the out. Then the jew's crossed the Zered Brook (All the way from kadesh barneya to the Zered Brook took 38 years).

Meeting Ammon 17-30
G-d said that the jews were about to to pass through Moabite territory. This might also be called Rephaim territory because they were there originally. Then G-d said to pass the Arnon Brook. G-d conqured Sichon the Amorite king and gave him over to the jews so they could occupy his land.

Defeating Sichon 31-37
Sichon met with the Bnei Yisroel at Yahatz with all of their troops. G-d agreed to hand them over to us and we defeated them. Then we killed them out and destroyed their cities. They conquered from the Amon Gorge to Gilead. (besides the lan that G-d told them not to before)
