1 Then we turned and took our journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea, as the Lord had said unto me; and we went around Mount Seir many days
2 until the Lord spoke unto me, saying,
3 Ye have gone around this mountain long enough; return unto the Aquilon.
4 And command thou the people, saying, Ye are to pass through the border of your brethren, the sons of Esau, who dwell in Seir; and they shall be afraid of you; take care unto yourselves, therefore;
5 do not seek a fight with them; 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 for an inheritance.
6 Ye shall buy food from them for money that ye may eat, and ye shall also buy water from them for money that ye may drink.
