In context
19When you come opposite the descendants of Ammon, do not harass them or provoke them, for I will not give you any of the land of the descendants of Ammon as a possession, because I have given it to the descendants of Lot as a possession.” 20(That too is counted as a land of the Rephaim; the Rephaim used to live there, but the Ammonites call them Zamzummim — 21a people great, numerous, and as tall as the Anakim. But Yahweh destroyed them before the Ammonites, who dispossessed them and settled in their place, 22just as he did for the descendants of Esau who live in Seir, when he destroyed the Horites before them; they dispossessed them and have lived in their place to this day. 23As for the Avvites who lived in villages as far as Gaza, the Caphtorites, who came from Caphtor, destroyed them and settled in their place.)
