HARMONY OF THE LAW · VOLUME 2
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.
17. Transeamus, agedum, per terram tuam, non transibimus per agros aut per vineas, neque bibemus aquam putei, via regia gradiemur: neque declinabimus ad dexteram aut ad sinistram, donec transierimus terminum tuum.
18. And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not pass by me, lest I come out against thee with the sword.
18. Cui respondit Edom, Non transibis per me, ne forte cum gladio egrediar in occursum tui.
19. And the children of Israel said unto him, We will go by the highway; and if I and my cattle drink of thy water, then I will pay for it: I will only (without doing any thing else) go through on my feet.
19. Et dixerunt ei filii Israel, Per viam ascendemus: quod si aquas tuas biberimus ego et animalia mea, dabo pretium illarum. Tantummodo sine negotio transeam pedibus meis.
20. And he said, Thou shalt not go through. And Edom came out against him with much people, and with a strong hand.
20. Verum dixit, Non transibis. Et egressus est in occursum ejus cum populo multo, et manu forti.

21. Renuit igitur Edom permittere Israeli, ut transiret per terminum suum: tunc Israel declinavit ab eo.
22. And the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, journeyed from Kadesh, and came unto mount Hor.
22. Et profecti sunt e Cades, veneruntque filii Israel, tota congregatio ad montem Hor.
14. And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh. His first narrative does not explain the cause of the embassy, but from the account in Deuteronomy
