Commentary on Deuteronomy 2:7
God commands Israel to purchase food and water from Edom rather than take it by force, because 'the LORD thy God hath blessed thee in all the works of thy hand.' This demonstrates several principles: God's provision for Israel in the wilderness (they had resources to buy supplies), respect for Edomite territory (descended from Esau, Jacob's brother), and trust in God's past faithfulness. The phrase 'he knoweth thy walking through this great wilderness' reveals God's intimate awareness of and involvement in Israel's journey. The forty-year period proved God's sustaining power.
