Deuteronomio 2:30 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 2:30

But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him
Or through his country, as was desired:

for the Lord had hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate;
as he did Pharaoh's, for whom he will he hardens; so that he would not listen to the proposals made to him, nor grant the requests asked of him, but with pride and haughtiness of spirit despised and disdained Israel:

that he might deliver him into thine hand;
that so an opportunity might offer of fighting with him, and taking his country from him; whereas, had he been peaceable and flexible, he had continued in the enjoyment of his land, and Israel would not have had that advantage against him; but God, who has the hearts of kings and of all men in his hands, so wrought upon him that he should take the steps he did, which made way for the delivery of him and his country into the hands of the Israelites:

as appeareth this day:
for when Moses made this speech, the kingdom of Sihon was possessed by the Israelites, ( Numbers 21:24 Numbers 21:25 ) .

Deuteronomio 2:30 In-Context

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

29 como lo hicieron conmigo los hijos de Esaú que habitaban en Seir, y los moabitas que habitan en Ar; hasta que pase el Jordán a la tierra que nos da el SEÑOR nuestro Dios.

30 Mas Sehón rey de Hesbón no quiso que pasásemos por él; porque el SEÑOR tu Dios había endurecido su espíritu, y obstinado su corazón para entregarlo en tu mano, como hasta hoy.

31 Y me dijo el SEÑOR: Mira, ya he comenzado a dar delante de ti a Sehón y a su tierra; comienza, toma posesión, para que heredes su tierra.

32 Y nos salió Sehón al encuentro, él y todo su pueblo, para pelear en Jahaza.
