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.

King of Edom. See Num. 20:14-22; PP 422-432.

King of Moab. Moses does not record this incident, but does state that the Israelites did not enter the territory of Moab (Deut. 2:9). There is a suggestion in Deut. 2:29 that Moab may have refused passage just as Edom had done.
