Numbers 20:19-21

Modern English Version

¹⁹ The children of Israel said to him,

“We will travel the highway, and if we and our livestock drink of your water, then we will pay for it. I will only go through on my feet without doing anything else.”

²⁰ He said,

“You will not go through.”

And Edom came out against them with many people and with a strong hand. ²¹ Edom refused to give Israel passage through his territory, so Israel turned away from him.
