Commentary on Deuteronomy 2:1
The phrase 'we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness' marks the tragic consequence of unbelief—Israel going backward instead of forward into promise. The 'way of the Red Sea' led them away from Canaan, prolonging their journey unnecessarily. This illustrates how disobedience doesn't just delay blessing but actively moves us away from God's purposes. The 'many days' of circling Mount Seir represents wasted time due to faithless rebellion.
