John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 2:19

And when thou comest nigh over against the children of Ammon ,.... Who dwelt near the Moabites, and were brethren, both descending from Lot, Genesis 19:37 . distress them not, nor meddle with them : lay no siege to any of their cities, nor provoke them to war, nor engage in battle with them: for I will not give thee of the land of the children of Ammon any possession ; that is, any part of it which was now in their hands; otherwise half their land was given to the tribe of Gad; but... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 2:20

That also was accounted a land of giants ,.... Ammon was so reckoned as well as Moab, Deuteronomy 2:10 . giants dwelt therein in old time ; the Rephaim dwelt there, as they did also in Ashteroth Karnaim, Genesis 14:5 . and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims ; they are thought to be the same with the Zuzims in Genesis 14:5 who had their name, as Hillerus F3 Onomastic. Sacr. p. 158, 288, 289. thinks, from Mezuzah, a door post, from their tall stature, being as high as one;... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 2:21

A people great and many, and tall as the Anakims ,.... As the Emims were, Deuteronomy 2:10 but the Lord destroyed them before them; destroyed the Zamzummims before the children of Amman; or otherwise they would have been an too much for them, being so numerous, and of such a gigantic stature: and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead ; and in this way, and by these means, he gave them their land for a possession, Deuteronomy 2:19 . read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 2:22

As he did to the children of Esau which dwelt in Seir ,.... He did the like things for them as he did for the Ammonites: when he destroyed the Horims from before them : which is repeated from Deuteronomy 2:12 , other instances of the like kind being here recited: and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead, even unto this day ; See Gill on Deuteronomy 2:12 . read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 2:23

And the Avim, which dwelt in Hazerim, even unto Azzah ,.... The same with the Avites, who appear to have inhabited some part of the land of the Philistines, in which Azzah or Gaza was, which was one of the five lordships of the Philistines, Joshua 13:3 . The word Hazerim signifies courts, and a learned man F5 Clayton's Chronology of the Hebrew Bible, p. 65. interprets it of tents or huts placed in a square or circular form, so as to have an area in the middle; and in such the Avim... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 2:3

Turn you northward - From Mount Seir, in order to get to Canaan. This was not the way they went before, viz., by Kadesh-barnea, but they were to proceed between Edom on the one hand, and Moab and Ammon on the other, so as to enter into Canaan through the land of the Amorites. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 2:7

The Lord - hath blessed thee, etc. - God had given them much property, and therefore they had no need of plunder; they had gold and silver to buy the provender they needed, and therefore God would not permit them to take any thing by violence. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 2:10

The Emims dwelt therein - Calmet supposes that these people were destroyed in the war made against them by Chedorlaomer and his allies, Genesis 14:5 . Lot possessed their country after the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. They are generally esteemed as giants; probably they were a hardy, fierce, and terrible people, who lived, like the wandering Arabs, on the plunder of others. This was sufficient to gain them the appellation of giants, or men of prodigious stature. See next verse, ... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 2:11

Which also were accounted giants - This is not a fortunate version. The word is not giants, but רפאים Rephaim , the name of a people. It appears that the Emim, the Anakim, and the Rephaim, were probably the same people, called by different names in the different countries where they dwelt; for they appear originally to have been a kind of wandering free-booters, who lived by plunder. (See on Deuteronomy 2:10 ; (note)). It must be granted, however, that there were several men of this... read more
