Contextual Overview

24 ""Rise, take your journey, and cross over the River Arnon. Look, I have given into your hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land. Begin to possess it, and engage him in battle. 25 This day I will begin to put the dread and fear of you upon the nations under the whole heaven, who shall hear the report of you, and shall tremble and be in anguish because of you.' 26 Numbers 21:21-32">[xr] "And I sent messengers from the Wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon king of Heshbon, with words of peace, saying, 27 "Let me pass through your land; I will keep strictly to the road, and I will turn neither to the right nor to the left. 28 You shall sell me food for money, that I may eat, and give me water for money, that I may drink; only let me pass through on foot, 29 just as the descendants of Esau who dwell in Seir and the Moabites who dwell in Ar did for me, until I cross the Jordan to the land which the LORD our God is giving us.' 30 "But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass through, for the LORD your God hardened his spirit and made his heart obstinate, that He might deliver him into your hand, as it is this day. 31 "And the LORD said to me, "See, I have begun to give Sihon and his land over to you. Begin to possess it, that you may inherit his land.' 32 Then Sihon and all his people came out against us to fight at Jahaz. 33 And the LORD our God delivered him over to us; so we defeated him, 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.
