1. Then we turned and took our journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea, as the Lord had said unto me; and we went around Mount Seir many days
2. until the Lord spoke unto me, saying,
3. Ye have gone around this mountain long enough; return unto the Aquilon.
4. And command thou the people, saying, Ye are to pass through the border of your brethren, the sons of Esau, who dwell in Seir; and they shall be afraid of you; take care unto yourselves, therefore;
5. do not seek a fight 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 an inheritance.
