Deuteronomy 2:3-5

Living Bible

³ ‘You have stayed here long enough. Turn northward. ⁴ Inform the people that they will be passing through the country belonging to their brothers the Edomites, the descendants of Esau who live in Seir; the Edomites will be nervous, so be careful. ⁵ Don’t start a fight! For I have given them all the Mount Seir hill country as their permanent possession, and I will not give you even a tiny piece of their land.
