Deuteronomy 2:1-4

1“Then we turned around and headed back across the wilderness toward the Red Sea, just as the Lord had instructed me, and we wandered around in the region of Mount Seir for a long time.

2“Then at last the Lord said to me,

3‘You have been wandering around in this hill country long enough; turn to the north.

4Give these orders to the people: “You will pass through the country belonging to your relatives the Edomites, the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir. The Edomites will feel threatened, so be careful.
