Deuteronomy 2:4-5

⁴and command the people, “You are about to pass through the territory of your brothers, the people of Esau, who live in Seir; and they will be afraid of you. So be very careful.

⁵Do not contend with them, for I will not give you any of their land, no, not so much as for the sole of the foot to tread on, because I have given Mount Seir to Esau as a possession.

Deuteronomy 2 recounts Israel's journey through the wilderness, specifically detailing the divine command to avoid conflict with certain nations—Edom, Moab, and Ammon—because God had already allotted their lands to them. It highlights God's faithfulness in providing for Israel for forty years and His sovereign control over the destinies of nations. The chapter culminates with Israel's victorious conquest over King Sihon of Heshbon, a decisive step towards entering the Promised Land, demonstrating that God fights for His people when they obey His commands.
