Then Israel sent men to the king of Edom saying, Let me now go through your land; but the king of Edom did not give ear to them. And in the same way he sent to the king of Moab, but he would not; so Israel went on living in Kadesh.

τοτε ο Ισραηλ απεστειλε πρεσβεις προς τον βασιλεα του Εδωμ, λεγων, Ας περασω, παρακαλω, δια της γης σου· πλην ο βασιλευς του Εδωμ δεν εισηκουσεν. Ετι δε και προς τον βασιλεα του Μωαβ απεστειλε· πλην και αυτος δεν συγκατενευσε· και εκαθισεν ο Ισραηλ εν Καδης.

Then Israel sent messengers unto the king of Edom, saying, Let me, I pray thee, pass through thy land: but the king of Edom would not hearken thereto. And in like manner they sent unto the king of Moab: but he would not consent: and Israel abode in Kadesh.
