Numbers 21:21-23

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²¹ And Israel sent messengers to Sehon king of the Amorrhites, saying:

²² I beseech thee that I may have leave to pass through thy land: we will not go aside into the fields or the vineyards, we will not drink waters of the wells, we will go the king's highway, till we be past thy borders.

²³ And he would not grant that Israel should pass by his borders: but rather gathering an army, went forth to meet them in the desert, and came to Jasa, and fought against them.
