Then we turned and took our journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea, as Jehovah spoke to me. And we went around Mount Seir many days.

You have gone around this mountain long enough. Turn northward.

You shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people all around you,

But when you go over Jordan and live in the land which Jehovah your God gives you to inherit, and He gives you rest from all your enemies all around, so that you live in safety,

that is, of the gods of the people who are around you, near you or far off from you, from the one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth,

When you come to the land which Jehovah your God gives you, and shall possess it and shall live in it and shall say, I will set a king over me, like all the nations around me,

then your elders and your judges shall come forth. And they shall measure to the cities which are around him who is dead.

And it shall be when Jehovah your God has given you rest from all your enemies all around in the land which Jehovah your God gives you for an inheritance to possess it, you shall blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heavens. You shall not forget.
