Numbers 20:17-19

Lexham English Bible

¹⁷ Please let us go through your land. We will not go through a field or vineyard, and we will not drink water from a well. We will go along the road of the king; we will not turn aside right or left until we have gone through your territory.’”

¹⁸ Then Edom said to him, “You will not pass through us^[a] lest we will go out^[b] to meet you with the sword.” ¹⁹ The Israelites^[c] said to him, “We will go up on the main road, and if we^[d] and our livestock^[e] drink your water, we will pay for it.^[f] It is only a small matter; let us pass through on our feet.”^[g]
