Deuteronomy 2:27

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Interconfessional

“If you let me pass through your land, I will travel only along the road; I will turn aside neither to the right nor to the left.

See the chapter Copy

So I sent messengers from the wilderness of Kedemoth to King Sihon of Heshbon with the following terms of peace:

You shall sell me food for money, so that I may eat, and supply me water for money, so that I may drink. Only allow me to pass through on foot—

You shall purchase food from them for money, so that you may eat; and you shall also buy water from them for money, so that you may drink.

Israel then sent messengers to King Sihon of the Amorites, king of Heshbon; and Israel said to him, ‘Let us pass through your land to our country.’
