1 Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way to the Sea of Suf, as the Lord spoke to me; and we encircled Mount Seir many days.
2 The Lord spoke to me, saying,
3 “You have encircled this mountain long enough. Turn northward.
4 Command the people, saying, ‘You are to pass through the border of your brothers the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir; and they will be afraid of you. Therefore be careful.
5 Don’t contend with them; for I will not give you any of their land, no, not so much as for the sole of the foot to tread on; because I have given Mount Seir to Esau for a possession.
