Numbers 20:19 Context
17Let vs passe, I pray thee, thorow thy countrey: we will not passe thorow the fields, or thorow the Uineyards, neither will we drinke of the water of the wells: wee will goe by the Kings high-way, we wil not turne to the right hand nor to the left, vntill wee haue passed thy borders. 18And Edom said vnto him, Thou shalt not passe by me, lest I come out against thee with the sword. 19And the children of Israel said vnto him, We will goe by the high-way: and if I and my cattell drinke of thy water, then I will pay for it: I will onely (without doing any thing else) go thorow on my feet. 20And he said, Thou shalt not goe thorow. And Edom came out against him with much people, and with a strong hand. 21Thus Edom refused to giue Israel passage thorow his border: wherefore Israel turned away from him.
