Deut. 2:27,29• 27Let me pass through thy land: by the highway alone will I go; I will neither turn to the right hand nor to the left.
 29--as the children of Esau who dwell in Seir, and the Moabites who dwell in Ar, did to me,--until I shall pass over the Jordan into the land which Jehovah our God giveth us. (Deut. 2:27,29)
wherefore.
Deut. 2:4‑8• 4And command the people, saying, Ye are to pass through the border of your brethren the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir; and they will be afraid of you; and ye shall be very guarded:
 5attack them not; for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as a foot breadth; for I have given mount Seir as a possession unto Esau.
 6Ye shall buy of them food for money, that ye may eat; and water shall ye also buy of them for money, that ye may drink;
 7for Jehovah thy God hath blessed thee in all the work of thy hand. He hath known thy walking through this great wilderness: these forty years hath Jehovah thy God been with thee; thou hast lacked nothing.
 8And we passed by from our brethren the children of Esau, who dwelt in Seir, by the plain, by Elath, and by Ezion-geber, and we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab. (Deut. 2:4‑8)
