Now we are camped at Kadesh, a town on the border of your land.Please let us travel through your land. We will be careful not to go through your fields and vineyards.

He has watched your every step through this great wilderness. During these forty years, the Lord your God has been with you, and you have lacked nothing.”’“ So we bypassed the territory of our relatives, the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir. We avoided the road through the Arabah Valley that comes up from Elath and Ezion geber.“ Then as we turned north along the desert route through Moab,the Lord warned us,‘ Do not bother the Moabites, the descendants of Lot, or start a war with them.
