New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Deuteronomy 1
41 "Then you said to me, ’We have sinned against the Lord; we will indeed go up and fight, just as the Lord our God commanded us.’ And every man of you girded on his weapons of war, and regarded it as easy to go up into the hill country.
42 And the Lord said to me, ’Say to them, "Do not go up nor fight, for I am not among you; otherwise you will be defeated before your enemies."’
43 So I spoke to you, but you would not listen. Instead you rebelled against the command of the Lord, and acted presumptuously and went up into the hill country.
44 The Amorites who lived in that hill country came out against you and chased you as bees do, and crushed you from Seir to Hormah.
45 Then you returned and wept before the Lord; but the Lord did not listen to your voice nor give ear to you.
46 So you remained in Kadesh many days, the days that you spent there.
Deuteronomy 2
1 "Then we turned and set out for the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea, as the Lord spoke to me, and circled Mount Seir for many days.
2 And the Lord spoke to me, saying,
3 ’You have circled this mountain long enough. Now turn north,
4 and command the people, saying, "You will pass through the territory of your brothers the sons of Esau who live in Seir; and they will be afraid of you. So be very careful;
5 do not provoke them, for I will not give you any of their land, even as little as a footstep because I have given Mount Seir to Esau as a possession.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
