Deuteronomy 2:1-7 - Journey Past Seir
1 Then turned we, and set forward towards the desert by way of the Red Sea, as Yahweh, spake unto me; and we encompassed Mount Seir many days. 2 And Yahweh spake unto me, saying: 3 Long enough, have ye encompassed this mountain, - turn yourselves north, wards. 4 And, the people, command thou saying, Ye are about to pass through the boundary of your brethren the sons of Esau, who are dwelling in Seir, - and should they he afraid of you, take ye good heed to yourselves: 5 do not engage in strife with them, for I will not give you of their land, so much as place for the tread of a foot-sole, - for as a possession to Esau, have I given Mount Seir. 6 Food, shall ye buy of them with silver so shall ye eat, - yea even water, shall ye buy of them with silver so shall ye drink. 7 For Yahweh thy God, hath blessed thee in all the work of thy hand, he hath considered thy traversing of this great desert, - these forty years, hath Yahweh thy God been with thee, thou hast lacked, nothing.
