Deuteronomy 2:1-7 - Journey Past Seir
1 Then we turned and took our journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea, as the LORD had said unto me; and we went around Mount Seir many days 2 until the LORD spoke unto me, saying, 3 Ye have gone around this mountain long enough; return unto the Aquilon. 4 And command thou the people, saying, Ye are to pass through the border of your brethren, the sons of Esau, who dwell in Seir; and they shall be afraid of you; take care unto yourselves, therefore; 5 do not seek a fight 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 an inheritance. 6 Ye shall buy food from them for money that ye may eat, and ye shall also buy water from them for money that ye may drink. 7 For the LORD thy God has blessed thee in all the works of thy hand; he knows thy walking through this great wilderness; these forty years the LORD thy God has been with thee; thou hast lacked nothing.
