Commentary on Deuteronomy 2:6
The command 'Ye shall buy meat of them for money... buy water of them for money' institutes commercial rather than combative relations with Edom. Israel must purchase provisions despite being God's chosen people, teaching humility and respect. The ability to buy implies Israel had acquired wealth (from Egypt and spoils), which they should use righteously. This models ethical conduct even toward those outside the covenant community.
