- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Dixeruntque filii Israël : Per tritam gradiemur viam : et si biberimus aquas tuas, nos et pecora nostra, dabimus quod justum est : nulla erit in pretio difficultas, tantum velociter transeamus.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- καὶ λέγουσιν αὐτῷ οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραήλ Παρὰ τὸ ὄρος παρελευσόμεθα· ἐὰν δὲ τοῦ ὕδατός σου πίωμεν ἐγώ τε καὶ τὰ κτήνη, δώσω τιμήν σοι· ἀλλὰ τὸ πρᾶγμα οὐδέν ἐστιν, παρὰ τὸ ὄρος παρελευσόμεθα.
- Hebrew (WLC)
- וַיֹּאמְר֨וּ אֵלָ֥יו בְּנֵֽי יִשְׂרָאֵ֘ל בַּֽמְסִלָּ֣ה נַעֲלֶה֒ וְאִם מֵימֶ֤יךָ נִשְׁתֶּה֙ אֲנִ֣י וּמִקְנַ֔י וְנָתַתִּ֖י מִכְרָ֑ם רַ֥ק אֵין דָּבָ֖ר בְּרַגְלַ֥י אֶֽעֱבֹֽרָה
Haydock's commentary
Price. Hebrew, "I will only do one thing, walk through." Septuagint, "the matter is of no consequence, we go by the mountain." Louis de Dieu translates, "It is not indeed a word, (or idle pretence) I will pass through on foot."
