17 Let us pass, I beseech you, through your land: we neither pass through the fields or through the vineyards, nor drink of the water of the wells: we go by the way of the sovereign; we deviate neither to the right nor to the left until we pass your borders.
18 And Edom says to him, You pass not by me, lest I confront you with the sword.
19 And the sons of Yisra El say to him, We ascend by the high way: and if I and my chattel drink of your water, then I give their price: I only, without a word, pass through on my feet.
20 And he says, You pass not through. - and Edom confronts him heavy with people and with a strong hand.
21 Thus Edom refuses Yisra El to pass through his border: and Yisra El deviates from him.
