This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Object. The king of Edom, i.e. of the children of Esau, did not grant them passage, Num 20.
Answ. They did permit them to pass quietly by the borders, though not through the heart of their land; and in their passage the people sold them meat and drink, being, it seems, more kind to them than their king would have had them; and therefore they here ascribe this favour not to the king, though they are now treating with a king, but to the people,
the children of Esau.
