Verse 16 is found in chapter 20 of Numbers. Edom refuses Israel passage through its territory, and the Israelites turn away from its path.

Und wir schrieen zu dem HERRN; der hat unsre Stimme erhört und einen Engel gesandt und uns aus Ägypten geführt. Und siehe, wir sind zu Kades, in der Stadt an deinen Grenzen.
Y clamamos a Jehová, el cual oyó nuestra voz, y envió ángel, y saconos de Egipto; y he aquí estamos en Cades, ciudad al extremo de tus confines:
Clamamos a Jehová, él oyó nuestra voz, envió un ángel y nos sacó de Egipto. Ahora estamos en Cades, ciudad situada en el límite de tu territorio.
Nous avons crié à l'Eternel, et il a entendu notre voix. Il a envoyé un ange, et nous a fait sortir de l'Egypte. Et voici, nous sommes à Kadès, ville à l'extrémité de ton territoire.
Onde avendo noi gridato al Signore, egli ha uditi i nostri gridi, e ha mandato l’Angelo, e ci ha tratti fuor del paese di Egitto. Or eccoci in Cades, città che è allo stremo de’ tuoi confini.
E clamamos ao SENHOR, e ele ouviu a nossa voz, e mandou um anjo, e nos tirou do Egito; e eis que estamos em Cades, cidade na extremidade dos teus termos.
我們哀求耶和華,他垂聽了我們的聲音,差遣使者把我們從 埃及 領出來。看哪,我們到了你邊界的 加低斯城 。
