Numbers 20:17 in Context — Numbers 20
15 Nos pères descendirent en Égypte, et nous y demeurâmes longtemps. Mais les Égyptiens nous ont maltraités, nous et nos pères.
16 Nous avons crié à l’Éternel, et il a entendu notre voix. Il a envoyé un ange, et nous a fait sortir de l’Égypte. Et voici, nous sommes à Kadès, ville à l’extrémité de ton territoire.
17 Laisse-nous passer par ton pays; nous ne traverserons ni les champs, ni les vignes, et nous ne boirons pas l’eau des puits; nous suivrons la route royale, sans nous détourner à droite ou à gauche, jusqu’à ce que nous ayons franchi ton territoire.
18 Édom lui dit: Tu ne passeras point chez moi, sinon je sortirai à ta rencontre avec l’épée.
19 Les enfants d’Israël lui dirent: Nous monterons par la grande route; et, si nous buvons de ton eau, moi et mes troupeaux, j’en paierai le prix; je ne ferai que passer avec mes pieds, pas autre chose.
