And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom, Thus says thy brother Israel, Thou know all the travail that has befallen us,

And Edom said to him, Thou shall not pass through me, lest I come out with the sword against thee.

And he said, Thou shall not pass through. And Edom came out against him with many people, and with a strong hand.

Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border. Therefore Israel turned away from him.

And LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron in mount Hor, by the border of the land of Edom, saying,

And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way to the Red Sea, to encompass the land of Edom. And the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way.

And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession, [who were] his enemies, while Israel does valiantly.

And they journeyed from Kadesh, and encamped at mount Hor, in the edge of the land of Edom.

then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the side of Edom. And your south border shall be from the end of the Salt Sea eastward.
