Numbers [In the desert] 20:17-21

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.”

¹⁸Edom Red said to him, “You shall not pass through me, lest I come out with the sword against you.”

¹⁹The children of Israel God prevails said to him, “We will go up by the highway; and if we drink your water, I and my livestock, then I will give its price. Only let me, without doing anything else, pass through on my feet.”

²⁰He said, “You shall not pass through.” Edom Red came out against him with many people, and with a strong hand.

²¹Thus Edom Red refused to give Israel God prevails passage through his border, so Israel God prevails turned away from him. (RY:3, LY:5)
