Numbers [In the desert] 20:15-17

¹⁵how our fathers went down into Egypt Abode of slavery, and we lived in Egypt Abode of slavery a long time. The Egyptians people from Abode of slavery mistreated us and our fathers.

¹⁶When we cried to Adonai , he sh'ma ·heard obeyed· our voice, sent an angel, and brought us out of Egypt Abode of slavery. Behold, we are in Kadesh, a city in the edge of your border.

¹⁷“Please let us pass through your land. We will not pass through field or through vineyard, neither will we drink from the water of the wells. We will go along the king’s highway. We will not turn aside to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed your border.”
