Deuteronomy 2:4-6

Contemporary English Version

^4 (A) And give the people these orders: “Be very careful, because you will soon go through the land that belongs to your relatives, the descendants of Esau.^[a] They are afraid of you, ⁵ but don't start a war with them. I have given them the hill country of Seir, so I won't give any of it to you, not even enough to set a foot on. ⁶ And as you go through their land, you will have to buy food and water from them.”
