Deuteronomy 2:1-7 - Journey Past Seir
1 Then we turned and took our journey into the wilderness, even the way to the reed sea as the LORD commanded me. And we compassed the mountains of Seir a long time. 2 Then the LORD spake unto me, saying, 3 'Ye have compassed these mountains long enough; turn you northward. 4 And warn the people, saying: Ye shall go through the coasts of your brethren the children of Esau which dwell in Seir, and they shall be afraid of you: But take good heed unto yourselves 5 that ye provoke them not, 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 to possess. 6 Ye shall buy meat of them, for money, to eat; and ye shall buy water of them, for money, to drink. 7 For the LORD thy God hath blessed thee in all the works of thine hand, and knew thee as thou wentest through this great wilderness. Moreover, the LORD thy God hath been with thee this forty years, so that thou hast lacked nothing.'
