What does Deuteronomy 2:5 mean?

'Don’t start a fight with them, because I’m not giving you any of their land—not even enough for a footprint. I’ve given the hill country of Seir to Esau’s family.' Deuteronomy 2:5 - Modern Text Bible

(God made it clear that Edom’s land was not for Israel, and they were to avoid conflict.)
