Gill's Notes on the Bible
Ye have compassed this mountain long enough,.... It was time to be gone from thence, as from Horeb, Deuteronomy 1:6,
turn you northward; from the southern border of Edom towards the land of Canaan, which lay north. It was from Eziongeber in the land of Edom, from whence the Israelites came to Kadesh, where they sent messengers to the king of Edom, to desire a passage through his land; see Numbers 33:36.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Deuteronomy 2:1 seems to refer in general terms to the long years of wandering, the details of which were not for Mosesâ present purpose. The command of Deuteronomy 2:2-3 relates to their journey from Kadesh to Mount Hor Numbers 20:22; Numbers 33:37, and directs their march around to the southern extremity of Mount Seir, so as to âcompass the land of Edomâ Judges 11:18; Numbers 21:4, and so northward toward the Arnon, i. e., âby the way of the wilderness of Moab,â Deuteronomy 2:8. This circuitous path was followed because of the refusal of the Edomites to allow the people to pass through their territory.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Deuteronomy 2:3. 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.
