“Thou shalt sell me meat for money, that I may eat; and give me water for money, that I may drink: only I will pass through on my feet;”
You shall sell me food for money, that I may eat; and give me water for money, that I may drink; only let me pass through on foot; -- the offer to pay for provisions replicates the arrangement with Edom. Israel seeks self-sufficiency, not plunder. The phrase 'only let me pass through on foot' emphasizes peaceful intent.
