For thirty-eight years Israel skirted the children of Esau, Moab, and Ammon without drawing a sword, until the LORD delivered Sihon king of Heshbon into their hand at Jahaz.

Lyrics
You have encircled this mountain long enough Turn northward
The LORD spoke saying command the people You are to pass through the border of your brothers The children of Esau who dwell in Seir They will be afraid of you Therefore be careful
Don’t contend with them For I will not give you any of their land Not so much as for the sole of your foot to tread on Because I have given Mount Seir to Esau for a possession
You shall purchase food from them for money that you may eat You shall also buy water from them for money that you may drink The LORD your God has blessed you in all the work of your hands He has known your walking through this great wilderness These forty years the LORD your God has been with you You have lacked nothing
We passed by from our brothers the children of Esau Who dwell in Seir from the way of the Arabah The LORD said to me don’t bother Moab Neither contend with them in battle For I will not give you any of his land for a possession
Rise up and cross over the brook Zered The days in which we came from Kadesh Barnea Until we had come over the brook Zered were thirty-eight years Until all the generation of the men of war were consumed From the middle of the camp as the LORD swore to them
The LORD’s hand was against them to destroy them From the middle of the camp until they were consumed When all the men of war were consumed and dead The LORD spoke saying you are to pass over Ar The border of Moab today
Rise up take your journey and pass over The valley of the Arnon Behold I have given into your hand Sihon the Amorite king of Heshbon And his land Begin to possess it
