Numbers 20:17-21

CLV(i) 17 Let us pass, we pray, through your land. We shall not pass through field or vineyard, nor shall we drink water of a well. By the king's road shall we go. We shall not turn aside right or left until we have crossed over your boundary. 18 Yet Edom said to him:You shall not pass through me lest I come forth with the sword to meet you. 19 Then the sons of Israel said to him:By the highway shall we go up. And if we drink your water, I and my cattle, then I will give its selling price. But this is no great matter. Let me pass on my feet. 20 Yet he said:You shall not pass. Then Edom came forth to meet him, heavy with people and with a steadfast hand. 21 Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his boundary; so Israel turned aside from him.
