14And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh unto the king of Edom, Thus hath said thy brother Israel, Thou knowest all the hardship that hath befallen us.
15How our fathers went down into Egypt, and we dwelt in Egypt many days; and the Egyptians did evil to us, and to our fathers:
16And we cried unto the Lord, and he heard our voice, and he sent a messenger, and caused us to go forth out of Egypt; and, behold, we are in Kadesh, a city at the outmost end of thy border.
17Let us pass, we pray thee, through thy country; we will not pass through field, or through vineyard, and we will not drink the water of the wells: by the king's highway will we go, we will not turn to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed thy border.
18And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not pass through my land, lest I come against thee with the sword.
19And the children of Israel said unto him, We will go by the highway: and if we drink of thy water, I and my cattle, then will I pay its value; I will do thee no injury, only on foot will I pass through.
20And he said, Thou shalt not pass through; and Edom came out against him with much people, and with a strong hand.
21And as Edom thus refused to permit Israel to pass through his border, Israel turned away from him.
22And they set forward from Kadesh; and the children of Israel, the whole congregation, came unto mount Hor.
23And the Lord said unto Moses and Aaron at mount Hor, by the boundary of the land of Edom, as followeth,
24Aaron shall be gathered unto his people; for he shall not enter into the land which I have given unto the children of Israel, because ye rebelled against my order at the waters of Meribah.
