Deuteronomy 2:1-6 ▼

1 And we turned and set out into the wilderness, the Way of the Red Sea, as YHWH had spoken to me. And we went around Mount Seir for many days.

2 And YHWH spoke to me, saying,

3 “You⁺ have been going around this mountain long enough; turn for yourselves northward.

4 And command the people, saying, ‘You⁺ are passing over into the border of your⁺ brothers, the sons of Esau, who live in Seir, and they will be afraid of you⁺. And you⁺ shall be on guard exceedingly.

5 Do not meddle with them, for I will not give to you⁺ of their land even the treading of the sole of a foot. For as a possession to Esau I have given Mount Seir.

6 You⁺ shall buy food from them with silver, and you⁺ will eat; and you⁺ shall buy water from them with silver, and you⁺ will drink.’”
