Commentary on Deuteronomy 2:5
God's explicit prohibition—'Meddle not with them; for I will not give you of their land'—defines limits to Israel's conquest. The reason given ('I have given mount Seir unto Esau for a possession') reveals God's sovereignty over all nations, not just Israel. God assigns territories according to His purposes, and Israel must respect His decisions. This prevents presumptuous aggression disguised as faith and teaches that not every opportunity equals a divine mandate.
