The text below is from the King James version of the Jewish Pentateuch or "Law", which is said to have been written by Moses (born about 3520 KYA?). Moses was a Levite, a branch of the Hebrew tribe whose duty is to perpetuate observance of the religion of Abraham (who entered Egypt with the Hyksos 4 KYA). Moses was probably taught to write by the Egyptian pharaoh who was trcked into adopting him and hiring his biological mother to raise him (might this help explain why Moses' murdered a Hamitic Egyptian and fled justice to the Sinai?).
Amosis united Hamitic clans along the Nile and drove their Semitic rulers and hundreds of thousands of other Hyksos from the Nile basin. Moses became the leader of the Hebrew tribe which fled from Egypt with enough looted gold to build a Tabernacle in the wilderness. Moses' alleged writings describe the subsequent holocaust of the few Hamitic nations of Canaan which Ammonites and other tribes of Semitic herdsmen had not yet conquered.
Amorites were one of the tall Hamitic (see Genesis 10) nations which might have been bred to farm wheat and barley, etc. Skeletons recovered in Palestine attest to the fact that nine foot tall men like Goliath (an Aryan name) once lived there. Were they the same "giant" race as the Germans from around Hamburg and Bremen?
Syria/Palestine was called the "land of the Amorites" about 5,000 KYA. King Hammurabi was a king of the Amorite kingdom of Babylon, which was sacked by Hittites 3550 KYA. Amorites left tens of thousands of clay diplomatic, etc. documents and were also known as Ammuru, Zamzummin, Emim, Rephaim, etc. Some of King Solomon's slaves were descendants of the Amorites that survived holocausts like those of Sihon and Bashan (more below).
Deuteronomy 2
1 Then we turned, and took our journey into the
wilderness by the way of the Red sea, as the LORD spake unto me:
and we compassed mount Seir many days.
2 And the LORD spake unto me, saying,
3 Ye have compassed this mountain long enough: turn
you northward.
4 And command thou the people, saying, Ye are
to pass through the coast of your brethren the children of Esau,
which dwell in Seir; and they shall be afraid of you: take ye
good heed unto yourselves therefore:
5 Meddle not with
them; for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as a
foot breadth; because I have given mount Seir unto Esau
for a possession.
6 Ye shall buy meat of them for money, that ye may eat;
and ye shall also buy water of them for money, that ye may drink.
7 For the LORD thy God hath blessed thee in all the
works of thy hand: he knoweth thy walking through this great
wilderness: these forty years the LORD thy God hath been with
thee; thou hast lacked nothing.
8 And when we passed by from our brethren the children
of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, through the way of the plain from
Elath, and from Eziongaber, we turned and passed by the way of
the wilderness of Moab.
9 And the LORD said unto me, Distress not the
Moabites, neither contend with them in battle: for I will not
give thee of their land for a possession; because I have
given Ar unto the children of Lot for a possession.
10 The Emims dwelt therein in times past, a
people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims;
11 Which also were accounted giants, as the
Anakims; but the Moabites called them Emims.
12 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.
13 Now rise up, said I, and get you over the brook
Zered. And we went over the brook Zered.
14 And the space in which we came from Kadeshbarnea,
until we were come over the brook Zered, was thirty and eight
years; until all the generation of the men of war were wasted out
from among the host, as the LORD sware unto them.
15 For indeed the hand of the LORD was against them,
to destroy them from among the host, until they were consumed.
16 So it came to pass, when all the men of war were
consumed and dead from among the people,
17 That the LORD spake unto me, saying,
18 Thou art to pass over through Ar, the coast of Moab,
this day:
19 And when thou comest nigh over against the
children of Ammon, distress them not, nor meddle with them: for I
will not give thee of the land of the children of Ammon any
possession; because I have given it unto the children of
Lot for a possession.
20 (That also was accounted a land of giants:
giants dwelt therein in old time; and the Ammonites call them
Zamzummims;
21 A people great, and many, and tall,
as the Anakims; but the LORD destroyed them before them; and they
succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead:
22 As he did to the children of Esau, which dwelt in
Seir, when he destroyed the Horims from before them; and they
succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead even unto this day:
23 And the Avims which dwelt in Hazerim, even
unto Azzah, the Caphtorims, which came forth out of Caphtor,
destroyed them, and dwelt in their stead.)
24 Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass over the
river Arnon: behold, I have given into thine hand Sihon
the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land: begin to possess it,
and contend with him in battle.
25 This day will I begin to put the dread of
thee and the fear of thee upon the nations that are under the
whole heaven, who shall hear report of thee, and shall tremble,
and be in anguish because of thee.
26 And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of
Kedemoth unto Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,
27 Let me pass through thy land: I will go along by
the high way, I will neither turn unto the right hand nor to the
left.
28 Thou shalt sell me meat for money, that I may eat;
and give me water for money, that I may drink: only I will pass
through on my feet;
29 (As the children of Esau which dwell in Seir, and
the Moabites which dwell in Ar, did unto me;) until I shall pass
over Jordan into the land which the LORD our God giveth us.
30 But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by
him: for the LORD thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart
obstinate, that he might deliver him into thy hand, as appeareth
this day.
31 And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have begun to
give Sihon and his land before thee: begin to possess, that thou
mayest inherit his land.
32 Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his
people, to fight at Jahaz.
33 And the LORD our God delivered him before us; and
we smote him, and his sons, and all his people.
34 And we took all his cities at that time,
and utterly destroyed the men, and the women, and the little ones,
of every city, we left none to remain:
35 Only the cattle we took for a prey
unto ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we took.
36 From Aroer, which is by the brink
of the river of Arnon, and from the city that is by the river,
even unto Gilead, there was not one city too strong for us: the
LORD our God delivered all unto us:
37 Only unto the land of the children of Ammon thou
camest not, nor unto any place of the river Jabbok, nor unto the
cities in the mountains, nor unto whatsoever the LORD our God
forbad us.
Deuteronomy 7
1 When the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the
land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out
many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and
the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the
Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier
than thou;
2 And when the LORD thy God shall
deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly
destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew
mercy unto them:
3 Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy
daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt
thou take unto thy son.
4 For they will turn away thy son from following me,
that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of the LORD be
kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly.
5 But thus shall ye deal with them;
ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their
images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images
with fire.
6 For thou art an holy people unto the LORD
thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people
unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the
earth.
7 The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose
you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were
the fewest of all people:
8 But because the LORD loved you, and because he would
keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD
brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the
house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
9 Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the
faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that
love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;
10 And repayeth them that hate him to their face, to
destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he
will repay him to his face.
11 Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the
statutes, and the judgments, which I command thee this day, to do
them.
12 Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to
these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the LORD thy God
shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware
unto thy fathers:
13 And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply
thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of
thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of
thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware
unto thy fathers to give thee.
14 Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall
not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle.
15 And the LORD will take away from thee all sickness,
and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou
knowest, upon thee; but will lay them upon all them that hate
thee.
16 And thou shalt consume
all the people which the LORD thy God shall deliver thee; thine
eye shall have no pity upon them: neither shalt thou
serve their gods; for that will be a snare unto thee.
17 If thou shalt say in thine heart, These
nations are more than I; how can I dispossess them?
18 Thou shalt not be afraid of them: but shalt well
remember what the LORD thy God did unto Pharaoh, and unto all
Egypt;
19 The great temptations which thine eyes saw, and the
signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the stretched
out arm, whereby the LORD thy God brought thee out: so shall the
LORD thy God do unto all the people of whom thou art afraid.
20 Moreover the LORD thy God will send the
hornet among them, until they that are left, and hide themselves
from thee, be destroyed.
21 Thou shalt not be affrighted at them: for the LORD
thy God is among you, a mighty God and terrible.
22 And the LORD thy God will put out those
nations before thee by little and little: thou mayest not consume
them at once, lest the beasts of the field increase upon
thee.
23 But the LORD thy God shall deliver them
unto thee, and shall destroy them with a mighty destruction,
until they be destroyed.
24 And he shall deliver their kings into thine
hand, and thou shalt destroy their name from under heaven: there
shall no man be able to stand before thee, until thou have
destroyed them.
25 The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with
fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold that is on them,
nor take it unto thee, lest thou be snared therin: for it is an
abomination to the LORD thy God.
26 Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine
house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: but thou shalt
utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a
cursed thing.
