Deuteronomy 2:3-5

Contemporary English Version

³ Israel has wandered in these hills long enough. Turn and go north. ^4 (A) 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.^[a] 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.
