Numbers 20:14-19
And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh unto the king of Edom, Thus saith thy brother Israel, Thou knowest all the travail that hath befallen us:How our fathers went down into Egypt, and we have dwelt in Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians vexed us, and our fathers:And when we cried unto the LORD, he heard our voice, and sent an angel, and hath brought us forth out of Egypt: and, behold, we[ are] in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of thy border:Let us pass, I pray thee, through thy country: we will not pass through the fields, or through the vineyards, neither will we drink[ of] the water of the wells: we will go by the king’s[ high] way, we will not turn to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed thy borders.And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not pass by me, lest I come out against thee with the sword.And the children of Israel said unto him, We will go by the high way: and if I and my cattle drink of thy water, then I will pay for it: I will only, without[ doing] any thing[ else], go through on my feet.
