²⁷ Let me pass through thy land: by the highway alone will I go; I will neither turn to the right hand nor to the left.

²⁸ Thou shalt sell me food for money that I may eat; and thou shalt give me water for money that I may drink; I will only pass through on my feet,

²⁹ —as the children of Esau who dwell in Seir, and the Moabites who dwell in Ar, did to me,—until I shall pass over the Jordan into the land which Jehovah our God giveth us.
