Context of Deuteronomy 2:29
27‘Let me pass through your land—I will go only by way of the road. I will not turn to the right or to the left. 28You will sell me food for money so that I may eat and give me water for money so that I may drink. Just let me pass through on foot— as the sons of Esau dwelling in Seir and the Moabites in Ar did for me—until I cross over the Jordan into the land that Adonai our God is giving to us.’ 30But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him, because Adonai your God stiffened his spirit and hardened his heart, in order to hand him over to you this very day. 31“Adonai said to me, ‘See, I have begun to give Sihon and his land over to you—begin to take possession in order to take hold of his land.’
