Deuteronomy 2:4-8

CLV(i) 4 and instruct the people saying, You shall pass through the territory of your brothers, the sons of Esau, who are dwelling in Seir. They shall fear you, yet you must be very much on guard. 5 Do not stir yourselves up against them, for I shall not give to you any of their country, not even a tread of a foot's sole--for I have given the hill-country of Seir for a tenancy to Esau. 6 You shall purchase food from them with silver, that you may eat. Even for water you shall bargain from them with silver, that you may drink. 7 For Yahweh your Elohim, He has blessed you in every work of your hand. He knows of your going in this great wilderness. These forty years Yahweh your Elohim has been with you. You have lacked nothing. 8 So we passed on away from our brothers, the sons of Esau who are dwelling in Seir, away from the Aravah road, away from Elath and away from Ezion-geber, and turned around and passed on by the Moab wilderness road.
