一月，以色列全體會眾抵達荀曠野，在加低斯安營。米利暗離世，葬在那裡。

摩西從加低斯派使者去見以東王，說：「你的弟兄以色列人說，你知道我們遭遇的種種困難。我們祖先到埃及寄居多年，我們世代受埃及人虐待。但我們呼求耶和華，祂就垂聽了我們的聲音，差遣天使把我們領出埃及。現在我們來到你邊境的加低斯城，求你容我們借道貴國。我們不會踏入田地和葡萄園，也不會喝井裡的水，只走大路，不會偏離，直到走出貴國。」以東王卻說：「你們不可從我這裡經過，否則我必兵戎相見。」以色列人說：「我們只走大路，倘若我們和牲畜喝了你的水，我們會付錢。我們別無他求，只求步行穿過貴國。」但以東王仍然不准，還率領大軍嚴陣以待。由於無法從以東穿過，以色列人只好繞道。

就像西珥的以東人和亞珥的摩押人那樣對待我們。我們只想過約旦河，去我們的上帝耶和華所賜之地。』

你告訴眾人，你們將經過西珥，那裡住著你們的親屬以掃的子孫。他們懼怕你們，所以要格外謹慎，不要惹他們，因為我已把西珥山賜給以掃作產業，他們的土地，我一寸也不會賜給你們。你們吃的、喝的，都要花錢向他們買。你們的上帝耶和華使你們凡事蒙福，看顧著你們走過這遼闊的曠野，四十年來與你們同在，使你們一無所缺。』「於是，我們繞過我們親屬以掃的子孫所住的西珥，沿亞拉巴的路，經過以拉他、以旬·迦別，向摩押曠野走去。耶和華對我說，『不可騷擾摩押人，不可與他們爭戰，因為我不會把他們的土地賜給你，我已把亞珥賜給羅得的子孫為業。』

那時，摩押王西撥的兒子巴勒起兵攻打你們，並派人去召比珥的兒子巴蘭來咒詛你們。
