²⁶“And I ^dsent messengers from the Wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon king of Heshbon, ^ewith words of peace, saying, ²⁷^f‘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. ²⁸You shall sell me food for money, that I may eat, and give me water for money, that I may drink; ^gonly let me pass through on foot, ²⁹^hjust 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.’

³⁰ⁱ“But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass through, for ^jthe Lord your God ^khardened 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 ^lgive Sihon and his land over to you. Begin to possess it, that you may inherit his land.’ ³²^mThen Sihon and all his people came out against us to fight at Jahaz. ³³And ⁿthe Lord our God delivered him ²over to us; so ^owe defeated him, his sons, and all his people.
