how our fathers went down to Egypt, where we lived many years. The Egyptians mistreated us and our fathers,
In context
13 These were the waters of Meribah, where the Israelites quarreled with the LORD, and He showed His holiness among them.
14 From Kadesh, Moses sent messengers to tell the king of Edom, “This is what your brother Israel says: You know all the hardship that has befallen us,
15 how our fathers went down to Egypt, where we lived many years. The Egyptians mistreated us and our fathers,
16 and when we cried out to the LORD, He heard our voice, sent an angel, and brought us out of Egypt. Now look, we are in Kadesh, a city on the edge of your territory.
17 Please let us pass through your land. We will not cut through any field or vineyard, or drink water from any well. We will stay on the King’s Highway; we will not turn to the right or to the left until we have passed through your territory.”
