Verse 18
And Edom said unto him ,.... The king of Edom replied to Israel, represented by the messengers sent in their name:
thou shall not pass by me ; through my country:
lest I come out against thee with the sword ; or with those that use the sword, as the Targums of Onkelos and Jonathan; that is, with an army of soldiers with their drawn swords in their hands, to slay them as enemies.
