18 ^aEdom, however, said to him, “You shall not pass through ¹us, lest I come out to meet you with the sword.” 19 Again, the sons of Israel said to him, “We will go up by the highway, and if I and ^amy livestock do drink any of your water, ^bthen I will ¹pay its price. Let me only pass through on my feet, ²nothing else.” 20 But he said, “^aYou shall not pass through.” And Edom came out to meet him with a heavy ¹force and with a strong hand. 21 ^aThus Edom refused to allow Israel to pass through his territory; ^bso Israel turned away from him.
