'Surrounding' in the Bible

You must not go after other gods, those of the surrounding peoples,

the gods of the surrounding people (whether near you or far from you, from one end of the earth to the other).

When you come to the land the Lord your God is giving you and take it over and live in it and then say, "I will select a king like all the nations surrounding me,"

Therefore it shall come about when the Lord your God has given you rest from all your surrounding enemies, in the land which the Lord your God gives you as an inheritance to possess, you shall blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven; you must not forget.
