*
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 ,
*
how our fathers went down to Egypt ,
and we dwelt in Egypt a long time ,
and the Egyptians afflicted us and our fathers .
*
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 .
*
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 ."'
*
Then Edom said to him , "
You shall not pass through my land ,
lest I come out against you with the sword ."
*
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 ."
*
Then he said , "
You shall not pass through ."
So Edom came out against them with many men and with a strong hand .
*
Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his territory ;
so Israel turned away from him .
