“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:”
As he did to the sons of Esau, who dwelt in Seir, when he destroyed the Horites from before them; and they dispossessed them, and dwelt in their stead even unto this day; -- the cumulative examples (Emim/Horites destroyed before Moab and Edom; giants destroyed before Ammon) establish that the LORD removes prior inhabitants so that new peoples can inhabit territories. Israel's conquest is not exceptional but part of divine world-ordering.
