Numbers 20:16-18

Modern English Version

¹⁶ And when we cried out to the Lord, He heard our voice and sent an angel and brought us out of Egypt.

“And here we are in Kadesh, a city on the edge of your territory. ¹⁷ Please let us pass through your land. We will not pass through the fields or the vineyards, or drink of the water of the wells. We will travel the king’s highway. We will not turn to the right hand nor the left, until we have passed through your territory.”

¹⁸ Edom said to him,

“You will not pass through me, lest with the sword I come out against you.”
