Deuteronomy 2:6

"Don’t contend with them; for I will not give you any of their land, no, not so much as for the sole of the foot to tread on, because I have given Mount Seir to Esau for a possession."

Key Reflection

This verse underscores that God's promise of the Promised Land is sovereign and unalterable. Despite the temptation to dispute or take lands belonging to other nations, Israel was instructed to trust in God’s divine allotment, even if it meant refraining from gaining as much as a footstep of land from their enemies.
