Deuteronomy 2:4-6

International Children’s Bible

⁴ Tell the people this: ‘You will soon go through the land of Edom. This land belongs to your relatives, the descendants of Esau. They will be afraid of you. But be very careful. ⁵ Don’t go to war against them. I am not giving you any of their land—not even a foot of it. I have given the mountains of Edom to Esau as his own. ⁶ You must pay them in silver for any food you eat or water you drink.’”
