Deuteronomy 2:27-29

Contemporary English Version

²⁷ Please let Israel go across your country. We will walk straight through, without turning off the road. ^28-29 You can even sell us food and water, and we will pay with silver. We need to reach the Jordan River and cross it, because the Lord our God is giving us the land on the west side. The Edomites and Moabites^[a] have already let us cross their land. Please let us cross your land as well.
