26. Then I sent messengers from the Kedemoth Desert to King Sihon of Heshbon with an offer of peace:
27. “Let me pass through your land; I will keep strictly to the roadway. I will not turn aside to the right or the left.
28. Sell me food for cash so that I can eat and sell me water to drink. Just allow me to go through on foot,
29. just as the descendants of Esau who live at Seir and the Moabites who live in Ar did for me, until I cross the Jordan to the land the Lord our God is giving us.”
