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 messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemot to Sichon king of Heshbon with words of shalom, saying,

27 Let me pass through your land: I will go along by the highway, I will turn neither to the right hand nor to the left.

28 You shall sell me food for money, that I may eat; and give me water for money, that I may drink: only let me pass through on my feet,

29 as the children of Esav who dwell in Se`ir, and the Mo`avim who dwell in `Ar, did to me; until I shall pass over the Yarden into the land which the LORD our God gives us.

30 But Sichon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him; for the LORD your God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into your hand, as at this day.
