Thou shalt sell me meat for money, that I may eat

and give me water for money, that I may drink;

Deuteronomy 2:28 In-Context

26 And I sent ambassadors from the wilderness of Kedamoth to Seon king of Esebon with peaceable words, saying,

27 I will pass through thy land: I will go by the road, I will not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.

28 Thou shalt give me food for money, and I will eat; and thou shalt give me water for money, and I will drink; I will only go through on my feet:

29 as the sons of Esau did to me, who dwelt in Seir, and the Moabites who dwelt in Aroer, until I shall have passed Jordan into the land which the Lord our God gives us.

30 And Seon king of Esebon would not that we should pass by him, because the Lord our God hardened his spirit, and made his heart stubborn, that he might be delivered into thy hands, as on this day.
