Hmm.... so what does すみません literally means?

行かなくて済
I cannot make an example sentence yet, as I haven't completely understood what it means here. To me it means something like "have something done without going to somewhere" or "achieve something without going", is it correct?

I am doing a bit reading before sleep. Here is a sentence I don't quite understand: (from "the little prince")

だけれど、ぼくたちは、ものそのもの、ことそのことが、たいせつですから、もちろん、番号なんか、どうで もいいのです。
