Deuteronomy 2:28-30

EasyEnglish Bible

²⁸ Please sell us food to eat and water to drink. We will pay you with silver coins. We only want to walk through your country. ²⁹ The descendants of Esau who live in Seir let us do this. So did the descendants of Moab who live in Ar. We will go through your country and then we will cross the Jordan River. We will go into the land that the Lord our God is giving to us.’

³⁰ But Sihon, the king of Heshbon, refused to let us travel through his country. He was too proud to agree with us. The Lord our God had caused him to be like that. He wanted to put King Sihon under your power and give his land to you. You still live in his land today.
