Numeri 20:17

La Bibbia di Giovanni Diodati

Deh! lascia che passiamo per lo tuo paese; noi non passeremo per campi, nè per vigne, e non berremo alcun’acqua di pozzo; cammineremo per la strada reale, e non ci rivolgeremo nè a destra nè a sinistra, finchè abbiamo passati i tuoi confini.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Let us pass, I pray thee, through thy country,.... That being the nearest and shortest way to the land of Canaan, from the place where they now were:

we will not pass through the fields, or through the vineyards; to harm them, and injure any man in his private property, by gathering the fruit of them, if the season of the year for it, or by trampling them down:

neither will we drink of the water of the wells; which private persons had dug, for the watering of their fields and vineyards, and for other uses, at least without paying for it; or only of the waters of the rivers, common to all passengers; from hence it appears, that the country of Edom was not then such a barren country as in later times, and as travellers c now report it is; :-

we will go by the king's highway; not the way in which the king used to walk, or which he should order them to walk in, as Aben Ezra; but the public roads, common to all his subjects, and travellers to walk in by his allowance; and such roads are now called by us the king's highway:

we will not turn to the right hand, or to the left; to do any injury to any person's property, but go straight forward:

until we have passed thy borders; from one to another, and got quite through the country.

c See Shaw's Travels, 4. 438. Ed. 2.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Numbers 20:17. We will go by the king's high-way — This is the first time this phrase occurs; it appears to have been a public road made by the king's authority at the expense of the state.
