26. “And 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 keep strictly to the road, and I will turn neither to the right nor to the left.
28. You shall sell me food for money, that I may eat, and give me water for money, that I may drink; only let me pass through on foot,
29. just as the descendants of Esau who dwell in Seir and the Moabites who dwell in Ar did for me, until I cross the Jordan to the land which the Lord our God is giving us.’
