18. Edom, however, said to him, "You shall not pass through us, or I will come out with the sword against you."
19. Again, the sons of Israel said to him, "We will go up by the highway, and if I and my livestock do drink any of your water, then I will pay its price. Let me only pass through on my feet, nothing else."
20. But he said, "You shall not pass through." And Edom came out against him with a heavy force and with a strong hand.
21. Thus Edom refused to allow Israel to pass through his territory; so Israel turned away from him.
22. Now when they set out from Kadesh, the sons of Israel, the whole congregation, came to Mount Hor.
23. Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron at Mount Hor by the border of the land of Edom, saying,
24. "Aaron will be gathered to his people; for he shall not enter the land which I have given to the sons of Israel, because you rebelled against My command at the waters of Meribah.
