Numbers 20:17-21
17 Please (A)let us pass through your land. We will not pass through field or through vineyard; we will not even drink water from a well. We will go along the king’s highway, not turning to the right or left, until we pass through your territory.’”
18 (B)Edom, however, said to him, “You shall not pass through (a)us, or I will come out with the sword against you.”
19 Again, the sons of Israel said to him, “We will go up by the highway, and if I and (C)my livestock do drink any of your water, (D)then I will (b)pay its price. Let me only pass through on my feet, (c)nothing else.”
20 But he said, “(E)You shall not pass through.” And Edom came out against him with a heavy (d)force and with a strong hand.
21 (F)Thus Edom refused to allow Israel to pass through his territory; (G)so Israel turned away from him.
