Contextual Overview

24 "The Lord told me, ‘Get ready to go across Arnon Valley. I will let you defeat Sihon the Amorite, the king of Heshbon. I will let you take his country. So fight against him and take his land. 25 Today I will make all people everywhere afraid of you. They will hear the news about you, and they will be afraid and shake with fear.' 26 "While we were in the desert of Kedemoth, I sent messengers to King Sihon of Heshbon. The messengers offered peace to Sihon. They said, 27 ‘Let us go through your land. We will stay on the road. We will not turn off the road to the right or to the left. 28 We will pay you in silver for any food we eat or any water we drink. We only want to march through your country. 29 Let us go through your land until we go across the Jordan River into the land that the Lord our God is giving us. Other people have let us go through their land—the people of Esau living in Seir and the Moabites living in Ar.' 30 "But King Sihon of Heshbon would not let us pass through his country. The Lord your God had made him very stubborn and ready to fight. The Lord did this so that he could help you defeat King Sihon. And today we know that is what happened. 31 "The Lord said to me, ‘I am giving King Sihon and his country to you. Now, go take his land!' 32 "Then King Sihon and all his people came out to fight against us at Jahaz. 33 But the Lord our God gave him to us. We defeated King Sihon, his sons, and all his people.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

As the children: It appears to have been only the Edomites of Kadesh-barnea, south of Canaan, who denied the Israelites a passage; for those of mount Seir, now called Shera, are here expressly said to have granted it them, and this, in fact, was the very road by which they arrived at Canaan. Deuteronomy 23:3, Deuteronomy 23:4, Numbers 20:18, Judges 11:17, Judges 11:18

into the land: Deuteronomy 4:1, Deuteronomy 4:21, Deuteronomy 4:40, Deuteronomy 5:16, Deuteronomy 9:6, Deuteronomy 25:15, Exodus 20:12, Joshua 1:11-15

Reciprocal: Numbers 20:17 - General Numbers 20:21 - refused Numbers 21:15 - Ar Deuteronomy 2:6 - General Judges 18:10 - God hath

Gill's Notes on the Bible

As the children of Esau which dwell in Seir, and the Moabites which dwell in Ar, did unto me,.... Which respects, as Jarchi observes, not the affair of passing through their land requested, for neither of them granted that, but buying food and drink; for though the Edomites at first seem not to have granted that, yet afterwards they did. The mountain of Seir, and the city Ar, are put for the whole countries of Edom and Moab:

until I shall pass over Jordan into the land which the Lord our God giveth us; this is observed to remove any suspicion or jealousy of their seizing his country, and taking possession of it, and dwelling in it; since they only proposed to pass through it on their journey to the land of Canaan, which lay on the other side Jordan, over which they must pass in order to possess it, which they had a right unto by the gift of God.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Deuteronomy 2:29. As the children of Esau which dwell in SeirNumbers 20:21.
