Deuteronomy 2:4-8
New American Standard Bible
4 (A)and command the people, saying, “You are going to pass through the (B)territory of your brothers the sons of Esau, who live in Seir; and (C)they will be afraid of you. So be very careful; 5 do not [a]provoke them, for I will not give you any of their land, not even as much as a [b]footprint, (D)because I have given Mount Seir to Esau as a possession. 6 You are to 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 [c]that you have done; He has known your [d]wandering through this (E)great wilderness. These (F)forty years the Lord your God has been with you; you have not lacked anything.”’
8 “So we passed beyond our brothers the sons of Esau, who live in Seir, away from the (G)Arabah road, away from Elath and (H)Ezion-geber. And we turned and passed through by the way of the wilderness of Moab.

New International Version
Deuteronomy 2:4-8
New International Version
4 Give the people these orders:(A) ‘You are about to pass through the territory of your relatives the descendants of Esau,(B) who live in Seir.(C) They will be afraid(D) of you, but be very careful. 5 Do not provoke them to war, for I will not give you any of their land, not even enough to put your foot on. I have given Esau the hill country of Seir as his own.(E) 6 You are to pay them in silver for the food you eat and the water you drink.’”
7 The Lord your God has blessed you in all the work of your hands. He has watched(F) over your journey through this vast wilderness.(G) These forty years(H) the Lord your God has been with you, and you have not lacked anything.(I)
8 So we went on past our relatives the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir. We turned from(J) the Arabah(K) road, which comes up from Elath and Ezion Geber,(L) and traveled along the desert road of Moab.(M)
