18But Edom answered: "You may not pass through here; if you try, we will march out and attack you with the sword."
18But Edom answered: "You may not pass through here; if you try, we will march out and attack you with the sword."
15 Our forefathers went down into Egypt, and we lived there many years. The Egyptians mistreated us and our fathers,
16 but when we cried out to the Lord , he heard our cry and sent an angel and brought us out of Egypt. "Now we are here at Kadesh, a town on the edge of your territory.
17 Please let us pass through your country. We will not go through any field or vineyard, or drink water from any well. We will travel along the king's highway and not turn to the right or to the left until we have passed through your territory."
18 But Edom answered: "You may not pass through here; if you try, we will march out and attack you with the sword."
19 The Israelites replied: "We will go along the main road, and if we or our livestock drink any of your water, we will pay for it. We only want to pass through on foot-nothing else."
20 Again they answered: "You may not pass through." Then Edom came out against them with a large and powerful army.
20:18And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not pass by me, lest I come out against thee with the sword.
20:18And Edom answered them: Thou shalt not pass by me: if thou dost I will come out armed against thee.
20:18And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not pass through me, lest I come out with the sword against thee.
20:18But Edom said to him, Thou shalt not pass by me, lest I come out against thee with the sword.
20:18And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not pass through me, lest I come out with the sword against thee.
20:18And Edom said to him, Thou shalt not pass by me, lest I come out against thee with the sword.
20:18Edom said to him, |You shall not pass through me, lest I come out with the sword against you.|
20:18And Edom saith unto him, 'Thou dost not pass over through me, lest with sword I come out to meet thee.'
20:18And Edom said to him, You shall not pass by me, lest I come out against you with the sword.
