Numbers 20:18-20

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁸ And Edom answered him, “You shall not pass by me, lest I come out against you with the sword.”

¹⁹ Then the children of Israel said to him, “We will go up by the highway. And if I or my cattle drink from your water, then I will pay for it. I will only go through on foot, nothing else.”

²⁰ He answered again, “You shall not go through.” Then Edom came out against him with many people, and with a mighty power.
