Numbers 20:17-21

17 ^aPlease let us pass through your land. We will not pass through field or vineyard, ^bor 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.” 18 But Edom said to him, “You shall not pass through, lest I come out with the sword against you.” 19 And the people of Israel said to him, “We will go up by the highway, ^cand if we drink of your water, I and my livestock, ^dthen I will pay for it. Let me only pass through on foot, nothing more.” 20 But he said, ^e“You shall not pass through.” And Edom came out against them with a large army and with a strong force. 21 Thus Edom ^frefused to give Israel passage through his territory, so Israel ^gturned away from him.
