Numbers 20:19-21

¹⁹And the children of Israel said to him, We will go up by the highway: and if we or our cattle take of your water, we will give you a price for it: only let us go through on our feet, nothing more.

²⁰But he said, You are not to go through. And Edom came out against them in his strength, with a great army.

²¹So Edom would not let Israel go through his land; and Israel went in another direction.
