* And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom : So says your brother Israel , You surely have known all the travail which has found us ; * that our fathers went down to Egypt , and we lived in Egypt many days , and the Egyptians did evil to us and to our fathers . * And we cried to Jehovah , and He heard our voice , and sent a messenger , and is bringing us out of Egypt ; and , behold , we are in Kadesh , a city on the edge of your border . * Please let us pass over , through your land ; we shall not pass over through a field , nor through a vineyard , nor shall we drink water of a well ; we shall go along the king 's highway . We will not turn aside to the right hand or to the left , until we have passed your border . * And Edom said to him , You shall not pass through me , lest I come out with the sword against you . * And the sons of Israel said to him , We shall go in the highway ; and if we drink of your waters , our cattle and us , then I shall give their price . Only let me pass through on my feet ; there shall be no harm . * And he said , You shall not pass through . And Edom came out against him with many people , and with a strong hand . * And Edom refused to allow Israel to pass over through his border . And Israel turned away from him .
