Numbers 20:14-17 King James Version (KJV)
14 And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh unto the king of Edom, Thus saith thy brother Israel, Thou knowest all the travail that hath befallen us:
15 How our fathers went down into Egypt, and we have dwelt in Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians vexed us, and our fathers:
16 And when we cried unto the LORD, he heard our voice, and sent an angel, and hath brought us forth out of Egypt: and, behold, we are in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of thy border:
17 Let us pass, I pray thee, through thy country: we will not pass through the fields, or through the vineyards, neither will we drink of the water of the wells: we will go by the king's high way, we will not turn to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed thy borders.

Edom Will Not Let Israel Pass
14 From Kadesh, Moses sent messengers to the king of Edom. He said, “Your brothers, the Israelites, say to you: You know about all the •troubles [hardship] we have had, 15 how our •ancestors [fathers] went down into Egypt and we lived there for many years. The people of Egypt •were cruel to [oppressed] us and our •ancestors [fathers], 16 but when we cried out to the LORD, he heard •us [L our voice] and sent us an •angel [messenger] to bring us out of Egypt.
“Now we are here at Kadesh, a town on the edge of your •land [boundaries]. 17 Please let us pass through your country. We will not •touch [pass through] any fields of grain or vineyards, and will not drink water from the wells. We will travel only along the •king’s road [King’s Highway; C a north-south international highway], not turning right or left until we have passed through your •country [boundaries].”

14 Edomites were descendents of Jacob’s brother Esau. The hard times were the times in Egypt. The Edomites were also one of the groups they were not supposed to drive out of the land because of them being descended from Abraham.
15 The Edomites may have known this already but it’s being restated. They were in Egypt for generations.
16 So Moses is letting them know they are near. They were attending to go to the promise land but due to their lack of faith they wouldn’t go for another 40 years.
17 He was asking just to pass thru, they would not use anything of theirs but they just needed to get thru.
