Deuteronomy 2:5 in Context — Deuteronomy 2

3 Vous avez assez suivi les contours de cette montagne. Tournez-vous vers le nord.

4 Donne cet ordre au peuple: Vous allez passer à la frontière de vos frères, les enfants d’Ésaü, qui habitent en Séir. Ils vous craindront; mais soyez bien sur vos gardes.

5 Ne les attaquez pas; car je ne vous donnerai dans leur pays pas même de quoi poser la plante du pied: j’ai donné la montagne de Séir en propriété à Ésaü.

6 Vous achèterez d’eux à prix d’argent la nourriture que vous mangerez, et vous achèterez d’eux à prix d’argent même l’eau que vous boirez.

7 Car l’Éternel, ton Dieu, t’a béni dans tout le travail de tes mains, il a connu ta marche dans ce grand désert. Voilà quarante années que l’Éternel, ton Dieu, est avec toi: tu n’as manqué de rien.
