Then we turned, and took 2 our journey into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea, gas the LORD spake unto me: and we compassed mount Seir many days. 2 And the LORD spake unto me, saying, 3 Ye have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you northward. And command thou the people, saying, Ye are to pass through the border of your brethren the children of Esau, which dwell in Seir; and they shall be afraid of you take ye good heed See Num unto yourselves therefore: 5 contend not with them; for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as for the sole of the foot to tread on because I have given mount Seir unto Esau for a possession. 6'Ye shall purchase food of them for money, that ye may eat; and ye shall also buy water of them for money, that ye may drink. 7 For the LORD thy God hath blessed thee in all the work of thy hand: "he hath known thy walking through n See ch. 8. this great wilderness: "these forty years the LORD thy God hath been with thee; thou hast lacked noJudg. 1. thing. 8 So we passed by from our brethren the children of Esau, which dwell in Seir, from the way of the Arabah from Elath and from Ezion-geber.
