And they marched from mount Hor, by the way that leadeth to the Red Sea, to compass the land of Edom. And the people began to be weary of their journey and labour.
And went round the land of Edom at the side, and the land of Moab: and came over against the east coast of the land of Moab: and camped on the other side of the Arnon. And he would not enter the bounds of Moab, for the Arnon is the border of the lands of Moab.
And when they were come as far as the valley of the cluster, having viewed all the country, they overturned the hearts of the children of Israel, that they should not enter into the coasts, which the Lord gave them.
And departing from thence we came into the wilderness that leadeth to the Red Sea, as the Lord had spoken to me: and we compassed mount Seir a long time.
