Deuteronomy 2:27 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 21:27

Let me pass through thy land (See Gill on Numbers 21:22),

I will go along by the highway;
the king's highway, as in the place referred to, the public road:

I will neither turn to the right hand nor to the left;
to go into his fields and vineyards, and gather the fruit, or tread down the corn and vines, or do any manner of mischief to them; see the above place.
