“Let me pass through thy land: we will not turn into the fields, or into the vineyards; we will not drink of the waters of the well: but we will go along by the king’s high way, until we be past thy borders.”
'Let me pass through your land; we will not turn aside into field or vineyard; we will not drink the water of the wells; we will go by the King's Highway until we have passed through your territory' — Israel offers the same non-invasive passage it offered Edom: stay on the main road, avoid fields and vineyards, pay for any water. The appeal is to order, law, and mutual benefit; Israel seeks peaceful coexistence.
