Numbers 20
Moses requests passage through Edom
14 And Moses from Kadesh sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, Thus saith his brother Israel; You know all the work that came to us:
15 As our fathers went down into Egypt, and we abode in Egypt many days; and how the Egyptians mistreated us and our fathers:
16 And we cried unto the LORD, and he heard our voice, and sent an angel, and brought us up out of Egypt; and, behold, we were in Kadesh, a city at the end of thy border.
17 Let us therefore pass through thy land; we will not pass through the field, nor through the vineyards, nor drink the water of the wells: we will go by the royal highway; we will not turn to the right or to the left until we pass through your borders.
18 And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not go through me, lest I go near the sword to meet thee.
19 And the children of Israel said unto him, Let us go up by the way that is equal, and if I and my cattle drink of thy waters, I will give them the price of them: without doing anything else, let me alone walk.
20 And he said, Thou shalt not go through. And Edom went out to meet many people, and with a strong hand.
21 And Edom refused to let Israel pass through his border: therefore Israel departed from him.
