Deuteronomy 2:1-4

1“Then we turned and journeyed into the wilderness by the way to the Sea of Reeds, just as Adonai told me. We went around the hill country of Seir for many days.

2“Adonai spoke to me saying,

3‘You have gone around this hill country long enough—turn to the north.

4Command the people saying, “You are about to cross into the territory of your relatives, the sons of Esau, who dwell in Seir. They will be afraid of you, so be very careful.
