4 and command the people: ‘You are to pass through the territory of your kin, the children of Esau,[a] who dwell in Seir. They will be afraid of you, so be very careful. 5 Do not provoke them, for I will not give you any of their land, not even a single foot, for I have given Esau possession of the highlands of Seir. 6 You are to purchase your food with silver, and you will also purchase your drinking water with silver.
