Numbers 20:14-21 And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh unto the king of Edom, Thus hath said thy brother Israel, Thou knowest all the hardship that hath befallen us.

Leeser⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁴ And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh unto the king of Edom, Thus hath said thy brother Israel, Thou knowest all the hardship that hath befallen us. ¹⁵ How our fathers went down into Egypt, and we dwelt in Egypt many days; and the Egyptians did evil to us, and to our fathers: ¹⁶ And we cried unto the Lord, and he heard our voice, and he sent a messenger, and caused us to go forth out of Egypt; and, behold, we are in Kadesh, a city at the outmost end of thy border. ¹⁷ Let us pass, we pray thee, through thy country; we will not pass through field, or through vineyard, and we will not drink the water of the wells: by the king’s highway will we go, we will not turn to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed thy border. ¹⁸ And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not pass through my land, lest I come against thee with the sword. ¹⁹ And the children of Israel said unto him, We will go by the highway: and if we drink of thy water, I and my cattle, then will I pay its value; I will do thee no injury, only on foot will I pass through. ²⁰ And he said, Thou shalt not pass through; and Edom came out against him with much people, and with a strong hand. ²¹ And as Edom thus refused to permit Israel to pass through his border, Israel turned away from him.
