17 Please let us pass over through your land; we do not pass over through a field or through a vineyard, nor do we drink waters of a well; we go the way of the king, we do not turn aside [to] the right or left until we pass over your border.” 18 And Edom says to him, “You do not pass over through me, lest I come out to meet you with the sword.” 19 And the sons of Israel say to him, “We go in the highway, and if we drink of your waters—I and my livestock—then I have given their price; only, let me pass over on my feet, nothing [more].” 20 And he says, “You do not pass over”; and Edom comes out to meet him with many people and with a strong hand; 21 and Edom refuses to permit Israel to pass over through his border, and Israel turns aside from off him.
