17 Please let us pass through your country. We will not pass through the fields or through the vineyards, nor will we drink water from any well. We will go by the King's Highway; we will not turn to the right or the left until we have passed through your region.'| 18 But Edom said to him, |You will not pass through me, or I will come out against you with the sword.| 19 Then the Israelites said to him, |We will go along the highway, and if we or our cattle drink any of your water, we will pay for it. We will only pass through on our feet, without doing anything else.| Numbers 20:17-19, New English Translation. Copyright © 1996-2017 by Biblical Studies Press.
