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 "I sent envoys from the K'demot Desert to Sichon king of Heshbon with a peaceable message,

27 'Let me pass through your land. I will keep to the road, turning neither right nor left.

28 You will sell me food to eat for money and give me water to drink for money. I only want to pass through.

29 Do as the people of 'Esav living in Se'ir and the Mo'avim living in 'Ar did with me, until I cross the Yarden into the land ADONAI our God is giving us.'

30 "But Sichon king of Heshbon would not let us pass through his territory, because ADONAI your God had hardened his spirit and made him stubborn, so that he could hand him over to you, as is the case today.
