3. 'You have circled this mountain long enough. Now turn north,
4. and command the people, saying, "You will pass through the territory of your brothers the sons of Esau who live in Seir; and they will be afraid of you. So be very careful;
5. do not provoke them, for I will not give you any of their land, even as little as a footstep because I have given Mount Seir to Esau as a possession.
6. You shall buy food from them with money so that you may eat, and you shall also purchase water from them with money so that you may drink.
7. For the Lord your God has blessed you in all that you have done; He has known your wanderings through this great wilderness. These forty years the Lord your God has been with you; you have not lacked a thing."'
8. "So we passed beyond our brothers the sons of Esau, who live in Seir, away from the Arabah road, away from Elath and from Ezion-geber. And we turned and passed through by the way of the wilderness of Moab.
9. Then the Lord said to me, 'Do not harass Moab, nor provoke them to war, for I will not give you any of their land as a possession, because I have given Ar to the sons of Lot as a possession.'
10. (The Emim lived there formerly, a people as great, numerous, and tall as the Anakim.
11. Like the Anakim, they are also regarded as Rephaim, but the Moabites call them Emim.
12. The Horites formerly lived in Seir, but the sons of Esau dispossessed them and destroyed them from before them and settled in their place, just as Israel did to the land of their possession which the Lord gave to them.)
13. 'Now arise and cross over the brook Zered yourselves.' So we crossed over the brook Zered.
