17 Please let us travel through your land. We won’t travel through any field or vineyard, or drink any well water. We will travel the King’s Highway; we won’t turn to the right or the left until we have traveled through your territory.’ ” 18 But Edom answered him, “ You must not travel through our land, or we will come out and confront you with the sword.” 19 “ We will go on the main road,” the Israelites replied to them, “ and if we or our herds drink your water, we will pay its price. There will be no problem; only let us travel through on foot.” 20 Yet Edom insisted, “ You must not travel through.” And they came out to confront them with a large force of heavily-armed people. 21 Edom refused to allow Israel to travel through their territory, and Israel turned away from them.
