It is said in one of the scriptures of the Children of Israel:
The Rights of War and Peace
Israelite people led by Moses who sought passage through Edomite and Amorite territory.
There is a remarkable instance of this in the Mosaic history, when the leader of the children of Israel required a free passage for that people, promising to the King of Edom, and to the King of the Amorites, that he would go by the highway, without setting a foot upon the soil of private possessions, and that the people should pay the price of everything, which they might have occasion to use.
