New International Version NIV
1 And we turned and departed into the wilderness, by the way of the Red Sea, as the Lord spoke to me, and we compassed mount Seir many days.
1
Then we turned back and set out toward the wilderness along the route to the Red Sea, as the LORD had directed me. For a long time we made our way around the hill country of Seir.
2 And the Lord said to me,
2
Then the LORD said to me,
3 Ye have compassed this mount long enough; turn therefore toward the north.
3
“You have made your way around this hill country long enough; now turn north.
4 And charge the people, saying, Ye are going through the borders of your brethren the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir; and they shall fear you, and dread you greatly.

5 Do not engage in war against them, for I will not give you of their land even enough to set your foot upon, for I have given mount Seir to the children of Esau as an inheritance.
5
Do not provoke them to war, for I will not give you any of their land, not even enough to put your foot on. I have given Esau the hill country of Seir as his own.
6 Buy food of them for money and eat, and ye shall receive water of them by measure for money, and drink.
6
You are to pay them in silver for the food you eat and the water you drink.’ ”
