Numbers 20:19

And the children of Israel said unto him, We will go by the high way: and if I and my cattle drink of thy water, then I will pay for it: I will only, without [doing] any thing [else], go through on my feet.

And the children {H1121} of Israel {H3478} said {H559} unto him, We will go {H5927} by the high way {H4546}: and if I and my cattle {H4735} drink {H8354} of thy water {H4325}, then I will pay {H5414}{H4377} for it: I will only, without doing any thing {H1697} else, go through {H5674} on my feet {H7272}.

The people of Isra'el replied, "We will keep to the highway; if we do drink the water, either we or our livestock, we will pay for it. Just let us pass through on foot - it's nothing."

“We will stay on the main road,” the Israelites replied, “and if we or our herds drink your water, we will pay for it. There will be no problem; only let us pass through on foot.”

And the children of Israel said unto him, We will go up by the highway; and if we drink of thy water, I and my cattle, then will I give the price thereof: let me only, without doing anything else, pass through on my feet.
