Numbers 20:14-22

14And MosesH4872 sentH7971 messengersH4397 from KadeshH6946 unto the kingH4428 of EdomH123, Thus saithH559 thy brotherH251 IsraelH3478, Thou knowestH3045 all the travailH8513 that hath befallenH4672 us:1 15How our fathersH1 went downH3381 into EgyptH4714, and we have dweltH3427 in EgyptH4714 a longH7227 timeH3117; and the EgyptiansH4714 vexedH7489 us, and our fathersH1: 16And when we criedH6817 unto YhwhH3068, he heardH8085 our voiceH6963, and sentH7971 an angelH4397, and hath brought us forthH3318 out of EgyptH4714: and, behold, we are in KadeshH6946, a cityH5892 in the uttermostH7097 of thy borderH1366: 17Let us passH5674, I pray thee, through thy countryH776: we will not passH5674 through the fieldsH7704, or through the vineyardsH3754, neither will we drinkH8354 of the waterH4325 of the wellsH875: we will goH3212 by the king’sH4428 high wayH1870, we will not turnH5186 to the right handH3225 nor to the leftH8040, until we have passedH5674 thy bordersH1366. 18And EdomH123 saidH559 unto him, Thou shalt not passH5674 by me, lest I come outH3318 againstH7125 thee with the swordH2719. 19And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto him, We will goH5927 by the high wayH4546: and if I and my cattleH4735 drinkH8354 of thy waterH4325, then I will payH4377H5414 for it: I will only, without doing any thingH1697 else, go throughH5674 on my feetH7272. 20And he saidH559, Thou shalt not go throughH5674. And EdomH123 came outH3318 againstH7125 him with muchH3515 peopleH5971, and with a strongH2389 handH3027. 21Thus EdomH123 refusedH3985 to giveH5414 IsraelH3478 passageH5674 through his borderH1366: wherefore IsraelH3478 turned awayH5186 from him.

22And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, even the whole congregationH5712, journeyedH5265 from KadeshH6946, and cameH935 unto mountH2022 HorH2023.
