1 We spent many years wandering around outside the hill country of Seir,
2 until the Lord said:Moses,
3 Israel has wandered in these hills long enough. Turn and go north.
4 And give the people these orders: “Be very careful, because you will soon go through the land that belongs to your relatives, the descendants of Esau. They are afraid of you,
5 but don't start a war with them. I have given them the hill country of Seir, so I won't give any of it to you, not even enough to set a foot on.
6 And as you go through their land, you will have to buy food and water from them.”
