Commentary on Deuteronomy 2:26
Moses' message to Sihon—'Let me pass through thy land'—models diplomatic engagement before warfare. The promise 'I will go along by the high way, I will neither turn unto the right hand nor to the left' offers peaceful passage with clear boundaries. The willingness to 'buy meat... and give me water for money' shows honorable intent—commercial transaction, not exploitation. Warfare should be last resort, not first option, when peaceful alternatives exist.
