"Then we turned and journeyed into the wilderness of the Way of the Red Sea, as the Lord spoke to me, and we skirted Mount Seir for many days.
2
And the Lord spoke to me, saying:
3
'You have skirted this mountain long enough; turn northward.
4
And command the people, saying, "You are about to pass through the territory of your brethren, the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir; and they will be afraid of you. Therefore watch yourselves carefully.
5
Do not meddle with them, for I will not give you any of their land, no, not so much as one footstep, because I have given Mount Seir to Esau as a possession.
6
You shall buy food from them with money, that you may eat; and you shall also buy water from them with money, that you may drink.
