Numbers 20:17-21
Legacy Standard Bible
17 Please (A)let us pass through your land. We will not pass through field or through vineyard; we will not even drink water from a well. We will go along the king’s highway; we will not turn to the right or to the left until we pass through your territory.’”
18 (B)Edom, however, said to him, “You shall not pass through [a]us, lest I come out to meet you with the sword.” 19 Again, the sons of Israel said to him, “We will go up by the highway, and if I and (C)my livestock do drink any of your water, (D)then I will [b]pay its price. Let me only pass through on my feet, [c]nothing else.” 20 But he said, “(E)You shall not pass through.” And Edom came out to meet him with a heavy [d]force and with a strong hand. 21 (F)Thus Edom refused to allow Israel to pass through his territory; (G)so Israel turned away from him.
