Thus Edom Refused — Numbers 20:19–21

And the children of Israel said unto him,

We will go up by the highway; and if we drink of thy water, I and my cattle, then will I give the price thereof: let me only, without doing anything else, pass through on my feet.

And he said,

Thou shalt not pass through.

And Edom came out against him with much people, and with a strong hand. Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border: wherefore Israel turned away from him.
