* "
Then we turned ,
and journeyed into the wilderness in the direction of the Red Sea ,
as the LORD told me ;
and for many days we went about Mount Se '
ir .
*
Then the LORD said to me ,
* `
You have been going about this mountain country long enough ;
turn northward .
*
And command the people ,
You are about to pass through the territory of your brethren the sons of Esau ,
who live in Se '
ir ;
and they will be afraid of you .
So take good heed ;
*
do not contend with them ;
for I will not give you any of their land ,
no ,
not so much as for the sole of the foot to tread on ,
because I have given Mount Se '
ir to Esau as a possession .
*
You shall purchase food from them for money ,
that you may eat ;
and you shall also buy water of them for money ,
that you may drink .
*
For the LORD your God has blessed you in all the work of your hands ;
he knows your going through this great wilderness ;
these forty years the LORD your God has been with you ;
you have lacked nothing .'
*
So we went on ,
away from our brethren the sons of Esau who live in Se '
ir ,
away from the Arabah road from Elath and E '
zion-ge '
ber . "
And we turned and went in the direction of the wilderness of Moab .
