Wanderings in the Wilderness

1aThen we turned° and set° out for the wilderness° by the way° to the IRed°° Sea°, as the LORD° spoke° to me, and circled° bMount° Seir° for many° days°. 2 And the LORD° spoke° to me, saying°, 3 ‘You have circled° this° mountain° long° enough°. [Now] turn° north°, 4 aand command° the people°, saying°, “You will pass° through the bterritory° of your brothers° the sons° of Esau° who live° in Seir°; and cthey will be afraid° of you. So be very° careful°; 5 do not Iprovoke° them, for I will not give° you any° of their land°, even° [as little as] a IIfootstep°°° abecause° 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° Ithat you have done°; He has known° your IIwanderings° through this° agreat° wilderness°. These° bforty° years° the LORD° your God° has been with you; you have not lacked° a thing°.”’
