Numbers 20:16-18

New American Standard Bible

¹⁶ But ^(A)when we cried out to the Lord, He heard our voice and sent ^(B)an angel, and brought us out from Egypt; now behold, we are at Kadesh, a town on the edge of your territory. ¹⁷ Please ^(C)let us pass through your land. We will not pass through field or vineyard; we will not even drink water from a well. We will go along the king’s road, not turning to the right or left, until we pass through your territory.’”

^18 (D)Edom, however, said to him, “You shall not pass through ^[a]us, or I will come out with the sword against you.”
