nkjv - Numbers:20:14-21

nkjv@Numbers:20:14 @ Now Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom. "Thus says your brother Israel: "You know all the hardship that has befallen us,

nkjv@Numbers:20:15 @ how our fathers went down to Egypt, and we dwelt in Egypt a long time, and the Egyptians afflicted us and our fathers.

nkjv@Numbers:20:16 @ When we cried out to the LORD, He heard our voice and sent the Angel and brought us up out of Egypt; now here we are in Kadesh, a city on the edge of your border.

nkjv@Numbers:20:17 @ Please let us pass through your country. We will not pass through fields or vineyards, nor will we drink water from wells; 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."'

nkjv@Numbers:20:18 @ Then Edom said to him, "You shall not pass through my land, lest I come out against you with the sword."

nkjv@Numbers:20:19 @ So the children of Israel said to him, "We will go by the Highway, and if I or my livestock drink any of your water, then I will pay for it; let me only pass through on foot, nothing more."

nkjv@Numbers:20:20 @ Then he said, "You shall not pass through." So Edom came out against them with many men and with a strong hand.

nkjv@Numbers:20:21 @ Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his territory; so Israel turned away from him.
