Bamidbar 20:19-21

Orthodox Jewish Bible

¹⁹ And the Bnei Yisroel said unto him, We will go by the main road; and if I and my livestock drink of thy mayim, then I will pay for it; I will only, without doing anything else, pass through on my feet.

²⁰ And he said, Thou shalt not go through. And Edom came out against him with a large army, and with a yad chazakah.

²¹ Thus Edom refused to give Yisroel passage through his border; wherefore Yisroel turned away from him.
