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. I told them to go to Sihon, the king of Heshbon. They offered him peace. They said,

27 "Let us pass through your country. We'll stay on the main road. We won't turn off it to one side or the other.

28 We'll pay you the right amount of silver for food to eat and water to drink. Just let us walk through your country.

29 The people of Esau, who live in Seir, allowed us to do that. The people of Moab, who live in Ar, also allowed us to do it. So let us walk through until we go across the Jordan River. Then we'll be able to go into the land the LORD our God is giving us."

30 But Sihon, the king of Heshbon, refused to let us walk through. The LORD your God had made his heart and spirit stubborn. The LORD wanted to hand him over to you. And that's exactly what he has done.
