Deuteronomy 2:28 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 2:28

Thou shalt sell me meat for money, that I may eat
If they thought fit to have provision of them, they desired no other but to pay for it:

and give me water for money, that I may drink;
see ( Deuteronomy 2:6 ) ,

only I will pass through on my feet;
for they were all footmen, ( Numbers 11:21 ) , of the phrase, (See Gill on Numbers 20:19).

Deuteronomy 2:28 In-Context

26 `And I send messengers from the wilderness of Kedemoth, unto Sihon king of Heshbon, -- words of peace -- saying,

27 Let me pass over through thy land; in the several ways I go; I turn not aside -- right or left --

28 food for money thou dost sell me, and I have eaten; and water for money thou dost give to me, and I have drunk; only, let me pass over on my feet, --

29 as the sons of Esau who are dwelling in Seir, and the Moabites who are dwelling in Ar, have done to me -- till that I pass over the Jordan, unto the land which Jehovah our God is giving to us.

30 `And Sihon king of Heshbon hath not been willing to let us pass over by him, for Jehovah thy God hath hardened his spirit, and strengthened his heart, so as to give him into thy hand as at this day.
