Deuteronomy 2:4
2 At this time the LORD said to me,
3 “You have been wandering around this hill country long enough; turn to the north
and command the people: ‘You will pass through the territory of your brothers, the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir. They will be afraid of you, so you must be very careful.
5 Do not provoke them, for I will not give you any of their land, not even a footprint, because I have given Mount Seir to Esau as his possession.
6 You are to pay them in silver for the food you eat and the water you drink.’”
