Deuteronomy 2:4-8
2:4 Instruct
these people as follows: ‘You are about to cross the border of your relatives
the descendants of Esau,
who inhabit Seir. They will be afraid of you, so watch yourselves carefully.
2:5 Do not be hostile toward them, because I am not giving you any of their land, not even a footprint, for I have given Mount Seir
as an inheritance for Esau.
2:6 You may purchase
food to eat and water to drink from them.
2:7 All along the way I, the
Lord your God,
have blessed your every effort.
I have
been attentive to
your travels through this great wasteland. These forty years I have
been with you; you have lacked for nothing.’”
2:8 So we turned away from our relatives the descendants of Esau, the inhabitants of Seir, turning from the desert route, from Elat and Ezion Geber, and traveling the way of the Moab wastelands.
Deuteronomy 2:29
2:29 just as the descendants of Esau who live at Seir and the Moabites who live in Ar did for me, until I cross the Jordan to the land the
Lord our God is giving us.”
