NHEB(i)
16 but when they came up from Egypt, and Israel went through the wilderness to the Lake of Rushes, and came to Kadesh;
17 then Israel sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, 'Please let me pass through your land.' But the king of Edom did not listen. In the same way, he sent to the king of Moab; but he would not. So Israel stayed in Kadesh.
