Contextual Overview

8And we pass by from our brothers, sons of Esau, who are dwelling in Seir, by the way of the plain, by Elath and by Ezion-Gaber, and we turn and pass over the way of the wilderness of Moab; 9and YHWH says to me, Do not distress Moab, nor stir yourself up against them [in] battle, for I do not give [any] of their land to you [for] a possession; for I have given Ar to the sons of Lot [for] a possession. 10The Emim have formerly dwelt in it, a people great, and numerous, and tall as the Anakim; 11they are reckoned [as] Rephaim, they also, as the Anakim; and the Moabites call them Emim. 12And the Horim have formerly dwelt in Seir, but the sons of Esau dispossess them, and destroy them from before them, and dwell in their stead, as Israel has done to the land of his possession which YHWH has given to them. 13Now rise and pass over the Brook of Zered for yourselves; and we pass over the Brook of Zered. 14And the days which we have walked from Kadesh-Barnea until we have passed over the Brook of Zered [are] thirty-eight years, until the consumption of all the generation of the men of battle from the midst of the camp, as YHWH has sworn to them; 15and indeed the hand of YHWH has been against them, to destroy them from the midst of the camp until they are consumed. 16And it comes to pass, when all the men of battle have finished dying from the midst of the people, 17that YHWH speaks to me, saying,

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Thou art to pass over through Ar,.... That is, over the river Arnon, by the city Ar of Moab, which was situated by it; see Deuteronomy 2:9 and so Moses and the people of Israel were to pass along by that,

and by the coast of Moab; for they were not admitted to enter the land and pass through it; only to travel on the borders of it, and that they were to begin to do this day; the day the Lord spake to Moses.
