Edom’s Message: 18 No. If you so much as put a foot in our territory, we’ll attack you.
Israelites’ Message: 19 But we will keep strictly to the highway and pay you if any of us or any of our animals drink any water, only let us pass through.
Edom’s Message: 20 Absolutely not.
At that point, the Edomites indeed came out in force, fully armed, against the Israelites.

Numbers 20:18-20
New International Version
18 But Edom(A) answered:
“You may not pass through here; if you try, we will march out and attack you with the sword.(B)”
19 The Israelites replied:
“We will go along the main road, and if we or our livestock(C) drink any of your water, we will pay for it.(D) We only want to pass through on foot—nothing else.”
20 Again they answered:
“You may not pass through.(E)”
Then Edom(F) came out against them with a large and powerful army.
