16
And when we cried unto the LORD, he heard our voice, and sent an angel, and hath brought us forth out of Egypt: and, behold, we are in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of thy border:
17
Let us pass, I pray thee, through thy country: we will not pass through the fields, or through the vineyards, neither will we drink of the water of the wells: we will go by the king's high way, we will not turn to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed thy borders.
19
And the children of Israelsaid unto him, We will go by the high way: and if I and my cattledrink of thy water, then I will pay* for it: I will only, without doing any thing else, go through on my feet.
