Numbers 20:17-19

Young's Literal Translation

¹⁷ Let us pass over, we pray thee, through thy land; we pass not over through a field, or through a vineyard, nor do we drink waters of a well; the way of the king we go, we turn not aside -- right or left -- till that we pass over thy border.'

¹⁸ And Edom saith unto him, `Thou dost not pass over through me, lest with sword I come out to meet thee.'

¹⁹ And the sons of Israel say unto him, `In the highway we go, and if of thy waters we drink -- I and my cattle -- then I have given their price; only (it is nothing) on my feet I pass over.'
