Deuteronomy 2:1-6 Your Brothers

 1Then we turned back and headed for the wilderness by way of the Red Sea,a as the LORD had instructed me, and for many days we wandered around Mount Seir.

2At this time the LORD said to me, 3“You have been wandering around this hill country long enough; turn to the north 4and command the people: ‘You will pass through the territory of your brothers, the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir. They will be afraid of you, so you must be very careful. 5Do not provoke them, for I will not give you any of their land, not even a footprint, because I have given Mount Seir to Esau as his possession. 6You are to pay them in silver for the food you eat and the water you drink.’ ”

Your Brothers 

“The descendants of Esau were distant relatives to the people of Israel (400 years earlier, the brother of Jacob was Esau). God didn’t want Israel to take the land that He gave to Esau and his descendants, the Edomites (Edom was a nickname for Esau).” (Guzik)

“The Greek word “adelphoi,” the word in the New Testament scriptures translated “brethren” simply means siblings: brothers and sisters of a common parent.”
