And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom, So says your brother Israel, You know all the trouble that has happened to us,

And Edom said to him, You shall not pass by me, lest I come out against you with the sword.

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

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

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

And they pulled up stakes from Mount Hor by the way of the Red Sea, to go around the land of Edom. And the soul of the people was very discouraged because of the way.

And Edom shall be a possession. Seir also shall be a possession for his enemies. And Israel shall do valiantly.

And they pulled up stakes from Kadesh and pitched in Mount Hor, in the edge of the land of Edom.

And your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the border of Edom, and your south border shall be the furthest coast of the Salt Sea eastward.
