Numbers 20:17-21 let us go a good fellowship through thy country: we will not go through the fields nor through the vineyards, neither will we drink of the water of the fountains: but we will go by the highway and neither turn unto the right hand nor to the left, until we be past thy country."

MSTC⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ let us go a good fellowship through thy country: we will not go through the fields nor through the vineyards, neither will we drink of the water of the fountains: but we will go by the highway and neither turn unto the right hand nor to the left, until we be past thy country." ¹⁸ And Edom answered him, "See thou come not by me, lest I come out against thee with the sword." ¹⁹ And the children of Israel said unto him, "We will go by the beaten way: and if either we or our cattle drink of thy water, we will pay for it, we will do no more but pass through by foot only." ²⁰ And he said, "Ye shall not go through." And Edom came out against him with much people and with a mighty power. ²¹ And thus Edom denied to give Israel passage through his country; And Israel turned away from him.
