CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁴ Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom:Thus says your brother Israel, You know yourself all the stress which finds u. ¹⁵ and that our fathers went down to Egypt, and we dwelt in Egypt many days and that the Egyptians did evil to us and to our fathers. ¹⁶ We cried to Yahweh, and He heard our voice and sent a messenger and brought us forth from Egypt. Now behold, we are at Kadesh, a city at your outmost boundary. ¹⁷ Let us pass, we pray, through your land. We shall not pass through field or vineyard, nor shall we drink water of a well. By the king's road shall we go. We shall not turn aside right or left until we have crossed over your boundary. ¹⁸ Yet Edom said to him:You shall not pass through me lest I come forth with the sword to meet you. ¹⁹ Then the sons of Israel said to him:By the highway shall we go up. And if we drink your water, I and my cattle, then I will give its selling price. But this is no great matter. Let me pass on my feet. ²⁰ Yet he said:You shall not pass. Then Edom came forth to meet him, heavy with people and with a steadfast hand. ²¹ Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his boundary; so Israel turned aside from him.
