Numbers 20:16

¹⁴And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom, saying, Thus says thy brother Israel; Thou knowest all the distress that has come upon us.

¹⁵And how our fathers went down into Egypt, and we sojourned in Egypt many days, and the Egyptians afflicted us and our fathers.

— Numbers 20:16 —

¹⁷We will pass through thy land: we will not go through the fields, nor through the vineyards, nor will we drink water out of thy cistern: we will go by the king’s highway; we will not turn aside to the right hand or to the left, until we have passed thy borders.

¹⁸And Edom said to him, Thou shalt not pass through me, and if otherwise, I will go forth to meet thee in war.
