Deuteronomy 2:26-32

« Deut 1Deut 2Deut 3 »

26 “^aSo I sent messengers from the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying, 27 ‘Let me pass through your land, I will ¹go only on the highway; I will not turn aside to the right or to the left. 28 You will sell me food for money so that I may eat, and give me water for money so that I may drink; ^aonly let me pass through on ¹foot, 29 just as the sons of Esau who live in Seir and the Moabites who live in ^aAr did for me, until I cross over the Jordan into the land which Yahweh our God is giving to us.’ 30 But ^aSihon king of Heshbon was not willing for us to pass ¹through his land, for ^bYahweh your God stiffened his spirit and made his heart obstinate, in order to give him over into your hand, as he is today. 31 And Yahweh said to me, ‘See, I have begun to give Sihon and his land ¹over to you. Begin to possess, so that you may fully possess his land.’
32 “Then Sihon ¹with all his people came out to meet us in battle at Jahaz.
