This chapter continues to detail the travels of the Israelites as they approached the Promised Land. What I found interesting here was that they were forbidden from taking the lands occupied by the descendants of Esau and Lot. Even though those peoples were not specifically part of the covenant God had still set aside lands for them, and it sounds almost like they were guided to them in a similar fashion to what the Israelites experienced. I can only assume this was because they too were descended from or related to Abraham, and I thought that was pretty cool!
