Commentary on Deuteronomy 2:6

Theological / Devotional

Buy meat. Literally, “buy food” (see Gen. 41:35, 36, 48; 42:7, 10; 44:1, 25; 47:24). The verb translated “to buy” is of buying grain (Gen. 47:14), whereas the noun from the same root means “corn” (Gen. 42:1, 2, 19, 26; 43:2; 44:2; 47:14; Amos 8:5).

Buy water. Water is a precious commodity in the desert wastes, and may easily become the cause of strife (see Gen. 26:17-22).
