Deuteronomy 2:1-4

1We went back into the desert, following the road that goes to the Red Sea as the Lord had told me. For a long time we traveled around the region of Mount Seir.

2The Lord said to me,

3“You’ve traveled around this region long enough. Now go north.

4Give the people these instructions: ‘You’re going to pass through the territory of your relatives, the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir. They’ll be afraid of you, but be very careful.
