<p class="poetry">He<n id="1" /> brings peace to your territory.<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">He abundantly provides for you<n id="3" /> the best grain.p>

But if you refuse to release them, then I am going to plague<n id="1" /> all your territory with frogs.<n id="2" />

You will have olive trees throughout your territory but you will not anoint yourself with olive oil, because the olives will drop off the trees while still unripe.<n id="1" />

<p class="poetry">I will make your pinnacles out of gems,<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">your gates out of beryl,<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">and your outer wall<n id="3" /> out of beautiful<n id="4" /> stones.p>

So when we cried to the <sc>Lordsc>, he heard our voice and sent a messenger,<n id="1" /> and has brought us up out of Egypt. Now<n id="2" /> we are here in Kadesh, a town on the edge of your country.<n id="3" />

For I will drive out<n id="1" /> the nations before you and enlarge your borders; no one will covet<n id="2" /> your land when you go up<n id="3" /> to appear before the <sc>Lordsc> your God three times<n id="4" /> in the year.p>

Please let us pass through<n id="1" /> 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&#8217;s Highway;<n id="2" /> we will not turn to the right or the left until we have passed through your region.&#8217;&#8221;<n id="3" />p>

<t /><p class="bodytext">When the <sc>Lordsc> your God extends your borders as he said he would do and you say, &#8220;I want to eat meat just as I please,&#8221;<n id="1" /> you may do so as you wish.<n id="2" />
