The Horims also dwelt in Seir beforetime; but the children of Esau succeeded them, when they had destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their stead; as Israel did unto the land of his possession, which the LORD gave unto them.

Verse 12 is found in chapter 2 of Deuteronomy. Moses recalls the long journey through the territories of Edom, Moab, and Ammon. Israel is instructed not to attack these peoples because God has assigned them their own lands. The account distinguishes between the land promised to Israel and other territories that God has also distributed among different peoples. Israel’s conquest, therefore, is not presented as authorization to occupy every territory indiscriminately.

Auch wohnten vorzeiten in Seir die Horiter; und die Kinder Esau vertrieben und vertilgten sie vor sich her und wohnten an ihrer Statt, gleich wie Israel dem Lande seiner Besitzung tat, das ihnen der HERR gab.)
Y en Seir habitaron antes los Horeos, a los cuales echaron los hijos de Esaú; y los destruyeron de delante de sí, y moraron en lugar de ellos; como hizo Israel en la tierra de su posesión que les dio Jehová.)
Séir était habité autrefois par les Horiens; les enfants d'Esaü les chassèrent, les détruisirent devant eux, et s'établirent à leur place, comme l'a fait Israël dans le pays qu'il possède et que l'Eternel lui a donné.
E in Seir già abitavano gli Horei; ma i figliuoli di Esaù li cacciarono, e li distrussero d’innanzi a loro, e abitarono in luogo loro; come ha fatto Israele nel paese della sua eredità, che il Signore gli ha dato.
Outrora os horeus também habitaram em Seir; porém os filhos de Esaú os lançaram fora, e os destruíram de diante de si, e habitaram no seu lugar, assim como Israel fez à terra da sua herança, que o SENHOR lhes tinha dado).
從前, 何利 人也住在 西珥 ,但 以掃 的子孫把他們除滅,佔領了他們的地,接續他們在那裏居住,如同 以色列 在耶和華賜給他們為業之地所做的一樣。
