27 ‘Let us travel through your land; we will keep strictly to the highway. We will not turn to the right or the left.
28 You can sell us food in exchange for silver so we may eat, and give us water for silver so we may drink. Only let us travel through on foot,
29 just as the descendants of Esau who live in Seir did for us, and the Moabites who live in Ar, until we cross the Jordan into the land the Lord our God is giving us.’
30 But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us travel through his land, for the Lord your God had made his spirit stubborn and his heart obstinate in order to hand him over to you, as has now taken place.
31 “Then the Lord said to me, ‘See, I have begun to give Sihon and his land to you. Begin to take possession of it.’
32 So Sihon and his whole army came out against us for battle at Jahaz.
33 The Lord our God handed him over to us, and we defeated him, his sons, and his whole army.
