MKJV(i)
14 And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom, So says your brother Israel, You know all the trouble that has happened to us,
15 how our fathers went down into Egypt, and we have lived in Egypt a long time. And the Egyptians troubled us and our fathers.
16 And when we cried to Jehovah, He heard our voice and sent an Angel, and has brought us forth out of Egypt. And behold! We are in Kadesh, a city in the outermost part of your border.
17 Let us pass, I pray you, through your country. We will not pass through a field, nor through a vineyard, neither will we drink of the water of a well. We will go by the king's highway. We will not turn to the right hand nor to the left until we have passed your borders.
18 And Edom said to him, You shall not pass by me, lest I come out against you with the sword.
19 And the sons of Israel said to him, We will go by the highway. And if I and my cattle drink of your water, then I will pay for it. Without doing anything, I will only go through on my feet.
20 And he said, You shall not go through. And Edom came out against him with many people, and with a strong hand.
21 So Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border. Therefore Israel turned away from him.
