Deuteronomy 2:3
“You have been wandering around this hill country long enough; turn to the north
BSB
ASV
Ye have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you northward.
KJV
Ye have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you northward.
Turn you northward - From Mount Seir, in order to get to Canaan. This was not the way they went before, viz., by Kadesh-barnea, but they were to proceed between Edom on the one hand, and Moab and Ammon on the other, so as to enter into Canaan through the land of the Amorites.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
