Deuteronomio 2:30 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 2:30

But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him
Or through his country, as was desired:

for the Lord had hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate;
as he did Pharaoh's, for whom he will he hardens; so that he would not listen to the proposals made to him, nor grant the requests asked of him, but with pride and haughtiness of spirit despised and disdained Israel:

that he might deliver him into thine hand;
that so an opportunity might offer of fighting with him, and taking his country from him; whereas, had he been peaceable and flexible, he had continued in the enjoyment of his land, and Israel would not have had that advantage against him; but God, who has the hearts of kings and of all men in his hands, so wrought upon him that he should take the steps he did, which made way for the delivery of him and his country into the hands of the Israelites:

as appeareth this day:
for when Moses made this speech, the kingdom of Sihon was possessed by the Israelites, ( Numbers 21:24 Numbers 21:25 ) .

Deuteronomio 2:30 In-Context

28 "Me venderás comestibles por dinero para que yo pueda comer, y me darás agua por dinero para que pueda beber; déjame tan sólo pasar a pie,

29 tal como hicieron conmigo los hijos de Esaú que habitan en Seir, y los moabitas que habitan en Ar, hasta que cruce el Jordán a la tierra que el SEÑOR nuestro Dios nos da."

30 Pero Sehón, rey de Hesbón, no quiso dejarnos pasar por su tierra porque el SEÑOR tu Dios endureció su espíritu e hizo obstinado su corazón, a fin de entregarlo en tus manos, como lo está hoy.

31 Y el SEÑOR me dijo: "Mira, he comenzado a entregar a Sehón y su tierra en tus manos. Comienza a ocuparla para que poseas la tierra."

32 Entonces Sehón salió con todo su pueblo a encontrarnos en batalla en Jahaza.
