Numbers 20:18

Edom Refuses Passage

17Please let us pass through your land. We will not cut through any field or vineyard, or drink water from any well. We will stay on the King’s Highway; we will not turn to the right or to the left until we have passed through your territory.”18But Edom answered, “You may not travel through our land, or we will come out and confront you with the sword.”
