Numbers 20:17-21
20:17 Please let us pass through
your country. We will not pass through the fields or through the vineyards, nor will we drink water from any well. We will go by the King’s Highway;
we will not turn to the right or the left until we have passed through your region.’”
20:18 But Edom said to him, “You will not pass through me, or I will come out against you with the sword.”
20:19 Then the Israelites said to him, “We will go along the highway, and if we or our cattle drink any of your water, we will pay for it. We will only pass through on our feet, without doing anything else.”
20:20 But he said, “You may not pass through.” Then Edom came out against them with a large and powerful force.
20:21 So Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border; therefore Israel turned away from him.
Deuteronomy 2:4-5
2:4 Instruct
these people as follows: ‘You are about to cross the border of your relatives
the descendants of Esau,
who inhabit Seir. They will be afraid of you, so watch yourselves carefully.
2:5 Do not be hostile toward them, because I am not giving you any of their land, not even a footprint, for I have given Mount Seir
as an inheritance for Esau.
Deuteronomy 2:9
2:9 Then the
Lord said to me, “Do not harass Moab and provoke them to war, for I will not give you any of their land as your territory. This is because I have given Ar
to the descendants of Lot
as their possession.
Deuteronomy 2:19
2:19 But when you come close to the Ammonites, do not harass or provoke them because I am not giving you any of the Ammonites’ land as your possession; I have already given it to Lot’s descendants
as their possession.
Jude 1:15-18
1:15 to execute judgment on
all, and to convict every person
of all their thoroughly ungodly deeds
that they have committed,
and of all the harsh words that ungodly sinners have spoken against him.”
1:16 These people are grumblers and
fault-finders who go
wherever their desires lead them,
and they give bombastic speeches,
enchanting folks
for their own gain.
Exhortation to the Faithful
1:17 But you, dear friends – recall the predictions foretold by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ.
1:18 For they said to you, “In the end time there will come scoffers, propelled by their own ungodly desires.”
