Words of peace sent to Sihon from the wilderness of Kedemoth

그데못 광야에서 시혼에게 보낸 평화의 말

Deuteronomy 2:26–29: he says, “I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying, ‘Let me pass through your land. I will go along by the highway. I will turn neither to the right hand nor to the left. You shall sell me food for money, that I may eat; and give me water for money, that I may drink. Just let me pass through on my feet, as the children of Esau who dwell in Seir, and the Moabites who dwell in Ar, did to me, until I pass over the Jordan into the land which the LORD our God gives us.’”

      1Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea, as the LORD spoke to me; and we encircled Mount Seir many days.

      2The LORD spoke to me, saying,

      3“You have encircled this mountain long enough. Turn northward.

      4Command the people, saying, ‘You are to pass through the border of your brothers, the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir; and they will be afraid of you. Therefore be careful.

      5Don’t contend with them; for I will not give you any of their land, no, not so much as for the sole of the foot to tread on, because I have given Mount Seir to Esau for a possession.

      6You shall purchase food from them for money, that you may eat. You shall also buy water from them for money, that you may drink.’”

      7For the LORD your God has blessed you in all the work of your hands. He has known your walking through this great wilderness. These forty years, the LORD your God has been with you. You have lacked nothing.

      8So we passed by from our brothers, the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir, from the way of the Arabah from Elath and from Ezion Geber. We turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab.

      9The LORD said to me, “Don’t bother Moab, neither contend with them in battle; for I will not give you any of his land for a possession, because I have given Ar to the children of Lot for a possession.”

  • Numbers 20:14–21 says that Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom, asking to go along the king’s highway; Edom said, “You shall not pass through”, came out against Israel with many people and with a strong hand, and refused to give Israel passage through his border, so Israel turned away from him.

    • NUM 20:14–21, engwebp

      14Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom, saying: “Your brother Israel says: You know all the travail that has happened to us;

      15how our fathers went down into Egypt, and we lived in Egypt a long time. The Egyptians mistreated us and our fathers.

      16When we cried to the LORD, he heard our voice, sent an angel, and brought us out of Egypt. Behold, we are in Kadesh, a city in the edge of your border.

      17“Please let us pass through your land. We will not pass through field or through vineyard, neither will we drink from the water of the wells. We will go along the king’s highway. We will not turn away to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed your border.”

      18Edom said to him, “You shall not pass through me, lest I come out with the sword against you.”

      19The children of Israel said to him, “We will go up by the highway; and if we drink your water, I and my livestock, then I will give its price. Only let me, without doing anything else, pass through on my feet.”

      20He said, “You shall not pass through.” Edom came out against him with many people, and with a strong hand.

      21Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border, so Israel turned away from him.

      14Jephthah sent messengers again to the king of the children of Ammon;

      15and he said to him, “Jephthah says: Israel didn’t take away the land of Moab, nor the land of the children of Ammon;

      16but when they came up from Egypt, and Israel went through the wilderness to the Red Sea, and came to Kadesh,

      17then Israel sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, ‘Please let me pass through your land;’ but the king of Edom didn’t listen. In the same way, he sent to the king of Moab, but he refused; so Israel stayed in Kadesh.

      18Then they went through the wilderness, and went around the land of Edom, and the land of Moab, and came by the east side of the land of Moab, and they encamped on the other side of the Arnon; but they didn’t come within the border of Moab, for the Arnon was the border of Moab.

      19Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, the king of Heshbon; and Israel said to him, ‘Please let us pass through your land to my place.’

      20But Sihon didn’t trust Israel to pass through his border; but Sihon gathered all his people together, and encamped in Jahaz, and fought against Israel.

      21The LORD, the God of Israel, delivered Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they struck them. So Israel possessed all the land of the Amorites, the inhabitants of that country.

      22They possessed all the border of the Amorites, from the Arnon even to the Jabbok, and from the wilderness even to the Jordan.

Deuteronomy 2 speaks of the children of Esau and does not use the name Edom, and at 2:29 what the children of Esau who dwell in Seir and the Moabites who dwell in Ar did is held up to Sihon as the example to follow. Numbers 20:14–21 says Edom refused passage. Judges 11:16–17 has Jephthah’s message to the king of the children of Ammon say that Israel came to Kadesh and sent messengers to the king of Edom, who didn’t listen, and in the same way sent to the king of Moab, who refused. This collection keeps each book’s account as its text stands and does not decide how the three fit.
