Numbers 20:17-19

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁷ Let us pass, I pray you, through your country. We will not pass through field or vineyard, or drink of the water of the wells. We will go along the king’s highway; we will not turn aside to the right hand or to the left until we have passed your borders.

¹⁸ But Edom said to him, You shall not go through, lest I come out against you with the sword.

¹⁹ And the Israelites said to him, We will go by the highway, and if I and my livestock drink of your water, I will pay for it. Only let me pass through on foot, nothing else.
