Edom Refuses Passage
14 gMoses sent messengers from Kadesh to hthe king of Edom: “Thus says iyour brother Israel: You know all the hardship that we have met: 15 jhow our fathers went down to Egypt, kand we lived in Egypt a long time. lAnd the Egyptians dealt harshly with us and our fathers. 16And mwhen we cried to the Lord, he heard our voice and nsent an angel and brought us out of Egypt. And here we are in Kadesh, a city on the edge of your territory. 17 oPlease let us pass through your land. We will not pass through field or vineyard, por drink water from a well. We will go along the King’s Highway. We will not turn aside to the right hand or to the left until we have passed through your territory.” 18But Edom said to him, “You shall not pass through, lest I come out with the sword against you.” 19And the people of Israel said to him, “We will go up by the highway, qand if we drink of your water, I and my livestock, rthen I will pay for it. Let me only pass through on foot, nothing more.” 20But he said, s“You shall not pass through.” And Edom came out against them with a large army and with a strong force. 21Thus Edom trefused to give Israel passage through his territory, so Israel uturned away from him.Deuteronomy 23:7
