Lad os få Lov at vandre igennem dit Land. Vi vil hverken drage hen over Marker eller Vinhaver eller drikke Vandet i Brøndene; vi vil gå ad Kongevejen, vi vil hverken bøje af til højre eller venstre, før vi er nået igennem dit Land!"
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.
