²⁷ ‘Let us travel through your land; we will keep strictly to the highway. We will not turn to the right or the left.^{(A) 28} You can sell us food in exchange for silver so we may eat, and give us water for silver so we may drink. Only let us travel through on foot, ²⁹ just as the descendants of Esau who live in Seir did for us, and the Moabites who live in Ar, until we cross the Jordan into the land the Lord our God is giving us.’
