Deuteronomy 2:4-9

Deuteronomy 2:4-9

[4] And command  thou the people,  saying,  Ye are to pass  through the coast  of your brethren  the children  of Esau,  which dwell  in Seir;  and they shall be afraid  of you: take ye good  heed  [5] Meddle  not with them; for I will not give  you of their land,  no, not so much as a foot  breadth;  because I have given  mount  Seir  unto Esau  for a possession.  [6] Ye shall buy  meat  of them for money,  that ye may eat;  and ye shall also buy  water  of them for money,  that ye may drink.  [7] For the LORD  thy God  hath blessed  thee in all the works  of thy hand:  he knoweth  through this great  wilderness:  these forty  years  the LORD  thy God  hath been with thee; thou hast lacked  nothing.  [8] And when we passed  by from our brethren  the children  of Esau,  which dwelt  in Seir,  through the way  of the plain  from Elath,  and from Eziongaber,  we turned  and passed  by the way  of the wilderness  of Moab.  [9] And the LORD  said  unto me, Distress  not the Moabites,  neither contend  with them in battle:  for I will not give  thee of their land  for a possession;  because I have given  Ar  unto the children  of Lot  for a possession.
