* And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh unto the king of Edom , Thus hath said thy brother Israel , Thou knowest all the hardship that hath befallen us . * How our fathers went down into Egypt , and we dwelt in Egypt many days ; and the Egyptians did evil to us , and to our fathers : * And we cried unto the Lord , and he heard our voice , and he sent a messenger , and caused us to go forth out of Egypt ; and , behold , we are in Kadesh , a city at the outmost end of thy border . * Let us pass , we pray thee , through thy country ; we will not pass through field , or through vineyard , and we will not drink the water of the wells : by the king ’s highway will we go , we will not turn to the right hand nor to the left , until we have passed thy border . * And Edom said unto him , Thou shalt not pass through my land , lest I come against thee with the sword . * And the children of Israel said unto him , We will go by the highway : and if we drink of thy water , I and my cattle , then will I pay its value ; I will do thee no injury , only on foot will I pass through . * And he said , Thou shalt not pass through ; and Edom came out against him with much people , and with a strong hand . * And as Edom thus refused to permit Israel to pass through his border , Israel turned away from him .
