16and when we cried to Yahweh, he heard our voice, and sent an angel, and brought us forth out of Egypt: and, behold, we are in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of your border.
17Please let us pass through your land: we will not pass through field or through vineyard, neither will we drink of the water of the wells: we will go along the king`s highway; we will not turn aside to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed your border.
18Edom said to him, You shall not pass through me, lest I come out with the sword against you.
19The children of Israel said to him, We will go up by the highway; and if we drink of your water, I and my cattle, then will I give the price of it: let me only, without [doing] anything [else], pass through on my feet.
20He said, You shall not pass through. Edom came out against him with much people, and with a strong hand.
21Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border: why Israel turned away from him.
22They journeyed from Kadesh: and the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, came to Mount Hor.
