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 from the desert of Kedemoth to Sihon king of Heshbon. They offered him peace, saying,

27 "If you let us pass through your country, we will stay on the road and not turn right or left.

28 We will pay you in silver for any food we eat or water we drink. We only want to walk through your country.

29 The descendants of Esau in Edom let us go through their land, and so did the Moabites in Ar. We want to cross the Jordan River into the land the Lord our God has given us."

30 But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass, because the Lord your God had made him stubborn. The Lord wanted you to defeat Sihon, and now this has happened.
