Numbers 20:19-21

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁹ The Israelites replied, ‘We will stay on the main road. If our animals drink your water, we will pay for it. We only want to travel through your country. We do not want anything else.’

²⁰ The king of Edom said, ‘No, you must not travel through our country.’ He sent many strong soldiers to attack the Israelites. ²¹ In that way, the Edomites stopped the Israelites from travelling through Edom. So the Israelites turned away from there.
