Deuteronomy 2:5 Context
3Yee haue compassed this mountaine long enough: turne you Northward. 4And commaund thou the people, saying, Ye are to passe 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 vnto your selues therefore. 5Meddle not with them, for I will not giue you of their land, no not so much as a foote breadth, because I haue giuen mount Seir vnto Esau for a possession. 6Ye shall buy meat of them for money, that ye may eat, and yee shall also buy water of them for money, that yee may drinke. 7For the Lord thy God hath blessed thee, in all the workes of thy hand: hee knoweth thy walking thorow this great wildernesse: these fourtie yeres the Lord thy God hath bene with thee, thou hast lacked nothing.
