Deuteronomio 2:26 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 2:26

And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth
A city in the tribe of Reuben, and given by them to the Levites in later times, having been taken from the Amorites with others; near this lay a wilderness, which took its name from it, and seems to be the same with Jeshimon, ( Numbers 21:20 Numbers 21:21 ) ( Joshua 13:18 ) ( 21:37 ) . Aben Ezra takes it to be the wilderness of Matthanah, which according to Jerom ^F7 was situated on Arnon, twelve miles to the east of Medeba; see ( Numbers 21:18 Numbers 21:30 ) from hence messengers were sent by Moses, unto Sihon king of Heshbon, with words of peace;
in a peaceable and respectful manner, desiring to be at peace and in friendship with him, and a continuance of it, which was done to leave him inexcusable; as afterwards a like method was ordered to be taken, when they came to any city, to proclaim peace, and if an answer of peace was given, no hostilities were to be committed, ( Deuteronomy 20:10 ) ,

saying;
as follows.

Deuteronomio 2:26 In-Context

24 Levantaos, partid, y pasad el arroyo de Arnón; mira, yo he dado en tu mano a Sehón rey de Hesbón, amorreo, y a su tierra; comienza, toma posesión, y busca la guerra con él

25 Hoy comenzaré a poner tu miedo y tu espanto sobre los pueblos debajo de todo el cielo, los cuales oirán tu fama, y temblarán, y se angustiarán delante de ti

26 Y envié embajadores desde el desierto de Cademot a Sehón rey de Hesbón, con palabras de paz, diciendo

27 Pasaré por tu tierra por el camino; por el camino iré, sin apartarme a diestra ni a siniestra

28 La comida me venderás por dinero y comeré; el agua también me darás por dinero, y beberé; solamente pasaré a pie
