Deuteronomy 2:23
"as he did for the children of Esau who dwell in Seir, when he destroyed the Horites from before them; and they succeeded them, and lived in their place even to this day."
Key Reflection
In Deuteronomy 2:23, Moses recounts how God destroyed the Horites, allowing the children of Esau (Edomites) to inhabit their land. This serves as a historical precedent for Israel's conquest and possession of certain territories, illustrating God’s sovereign provision and displacement of other peoples for His chosen people.
