Deuteronomy 2:3

Read in context

Deuteronomy 2:1–5 · Berean Standard Bible

1 Then we turned back and headed for the wilderness by way of the Red Sea, as the LORD had instructed me, and for many days we wandered around Mount Seir.

2 At this time the LORD said to me,

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

4 and command the people: ‘You will pass through the territory of your brothers, the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir. They will be afraid of you, so you must be very careful.

5 Do not provoke them, for I will not give you any of their land, not even a footprint, because I have given Mount Seir to Esau as his possession.
