- 我們哀求耶和華的時候、他聽了我們的聲音、差遣使者把我們從埃及領出來、這事你都知道.如今、我們在你邊界上的城加低斯。
- 求你容我們從你的地經過、我們不走田間和葡萄園、也不喝井裡的水、只走大道〔原文作王道〕、不偏左右、直到過了你的境界。
- 以東王說、你不可從我的地經過、免得我帶刀出去攻擊你。
- 以色列人說、我們要走大道上去、我們和牲畜若喝你的水、必給你價值、不求別的、只求你容我們步行過去。
- 以東王說、你們不可經過.就率領許多人出來、要用強硬的手攻擊以色列人。

- 'But when we cried out to the LORD, He heard our voice and sent an angel and brought us out from Egypt; now behold, we are at Kadesh, a town on the edge of your territory.
- 'Please let us pass through your land. We will not pass through field or through vineyard; we will not even drink water from a well. We will go along the king's highway, not turning to the right or left, until we pass through your territory.'"
- Edom, however, said to him, "You shall not pass through us, or I will come out with the sword against you."
- 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."
- But he said, "You shall not pass through." And Edom came out against him with a heavy force and with a strong hand.
